Thomas Cullum Pyatt (born February 14, 1987) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre currently playing with the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL). He is the son of former NHL player Nelson Pyatt and brother of retired hockey player Taylor Pyatt. He has previously played in the National League A with the Genève-Servette HC, and in the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning.
Pyatt grew up playing for the Thunder Bay Kings AAA program in his hometown of Thunder Bay, Ontario, with New York Rangers defenseman Marc Staal. He began his major junior career in 2003–04, having been drafted in the second round, 21st overall in the 2003 OHL Priority Selection by the Saginaw Spirit. After a 48-point season with the Spirit in his second OHL season, he was drafted 107th overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Rangers.
Upon being drafted, he returned to the OHL for two more seasons. Towards the end of an 87-point campaign for Pyatt in his fourth and final major junior season in 2006–07, the Rangers signed him to a three-year, entry-level contract on March 12, 2007. At the end of the season, he was awarded the William Hanley Trophy as the OHL's Most Sportsmanlike Player after accumulating just 18 penalty minutes.
