The righty from Ontario is set to be a major factor for Canada East this weekend at the Rivalry Challenge. Thompson is a legitimate goal scorer who can beat defenses in a variety of ways thanks to his diverse skill set and high lacrosse IQ. Thompson’s toolbox is deep—he has soft hands, catches everything thrown his way, and finishes with creativity, using quick sticks and twisters to keep defenses off balance. His shooting mechanics are deceptive, with a quick, unusual windup that leaves goalies guessing. Off ball, his IQ shines as he times screens, recognizes when defenders lose focus for even a split second, and makes them pay immediately. Thompson has all the makings of a breakout performer, and this weekend could serve as his coming-out party on the national stage.
