Tage Nathaniel Thompson (born October 30, 1997) is an American professional ice hockey center, currently playing with the Chicago Wolves in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League (NHL). Thompson was selected 26th overall by the Blues in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
Thompson was born in Glendale, Arizona, and has lived across the US, attending eleven different schools before accelerating his graduation from Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan after his junior year at the University of Connecticut's request.
After playing in the U.S. National Development Team in the United States Hockey League, Thompson embarked on a collegiate career with the University of Connecticut in the Hockey East conference. Thompson appeared in all 36 games during his freshman season at UCONN in 2015–16 and was second on the team with 32 points on 14 goals and 18 assists. He also led the nation with 14 power play goals.
In the 2016–17 season, and after his selection by the Blues in the draft, Thompson appeared in 34 games with the Huskies as a sophomore.
