Nate Thompson, playing with the Anaheim Ducks at the time, skates during a game against the Buffalo Sabres at Honda Center on February 24, 2016 in Anaheim, California.
“It was definitely something I’m proud of,” Thompson said. “I was able to carve out a pretty long career and it’s pretty rare to have a career like that. I’m extremely proud of the fact that I was able to not only stay in the league that long but still be able to be an impact player for a long time and be consistent.”
“Towards the end of my career, I was traded a lot more but at the same time, I looked at it as someone wanted me,” he said. “Usually I was getting traded around the deadline to go to a playoff team to try to make a run.” During a brief lockout in the NHL that delayed the start of the 2012-13 season, Thompson had a 24-game stint with the Alaska Aces, which was his first time playing in his hometown since he was in high school.
