Defender Keaton Thompson will continue his career inTorpedo “, the website of the Nizhny Novgorod hockey club reported.
The deal with the 28-year-old American is for one year.
— Thompson is an experienced, fast and tenacious defender. What is important is that he has good human qualities in the locker room – a sociable and reliable partner. This is what we needed for our young defensive line. We need Thompson to play at equal strength and in the minority. He will definitely make our team more reliable, stronger and more confident. In this regard, I am pleased with the purchase. We needed such a player,” Torpedo head coach Igor Larionov said.
Thompson was selected by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2013 NHL Draft but has never played in the league. He has 348 AHL games and 75 points. Thompson spent last season in the German league for Adler Mannheim.
