Tage Thompson continues to make history for UConn men’s hockey. On Thursday, he was named a 2023 NHL All-Star, the first Husky to ever earn the honor. Thompson is still the only first-round pick in program history as well.
After a breakout campaign with 18 goals and 17 assists in 2021-22, Thompson has blossomed into a bona fide superstar for the Buffalo Sabres. In just 36 games, he’s racked up 30 goals, 25 assists, and countless highlight-reel plays.
Thompson ranks third in the league in points and second in goals. In his last game, he capped a hat trick and four-point night with an overtime game-winner against the Washington Capitals.
