11th year right wing Paul Thompson(15) signed a 1-year contract to join Bridgeport Islanders for 2021/2022, but has only skated 4 games with them (1 goal), while mostly being reassigned to affiliate Worcester Railers.
In 10 ECHL games, his first since 1 in 2011, he has 2 goals and 3 assists.
The 6’1″ 201 lbs. forward has 610 AHL games to his credit, scoring a healthy 174 goals and 165 assists.
He also has appeared in 24 NHL games with two different clubs, grabbing 3 assists.
The 33-year old, former 4-year University Of New Hampshire Wildcats top scorer as a junior and senior from close by Derry, NH is probably just happy to be pulling down deals from elite teams.
For 2022/2023, he returns to southern CT for a 2nd season.
12 years, 697 games in the minors and 24 in the show with 3 assists is quite enough, so we await to see what team he may have skated for previously to pick him up as an assistant coach.
