Bulldogs President of Hockey Operations, Doug Quinn, said about Thompson and his commitment to Amherst, “The Bulldogs organization is excited to hear of Duncan’s commitment to Amherst College. Duncan joined our team last year and made an immediate impact. Duncan was very committed to improving his game both on and off the ice. He was a great teammate and well respected in the community. The Bulldogs organization is excited to help Duncan move on to the next stage in his life as he pursues his education and hockey goals.”

Bulldogs Head Coach, Ryan Tobler, wishes Thompson well moving on, “Duncan came to us last year and solidified the centre position for us. He was very professional in the way he prepared to practice and play. I wish him all the best at Amherst College.”

Bulldogs Director of Player Personnel, Al Parada, is excited for Thompson getting the opportunity to move on and play college hockey, “I wish Duncan all the best moving forward. Amherst is a top DIII College, and with all the uncertainty surrounding NCAA college hockey right now, it will allow Duncan to take advantage of 4 years of NCAA college hockey eligibility.”

The whole Blackfalds Bulldogs organization would like to wish Duncan and his family all the best moving forward. Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog!
