Caden Thompson exemplifies the composure, positivity, and dedication that the Hobey Baker Award represents. His willingness to learn and steady improvement have moved him from Division 3 to Division 2, earning a Division 1 call-up along the way.

True to the nature of great goalies, Caden brings a unique and upbeat personality to the rink. He maintains an even keel—never too high or too low—regardless of the game’s outcome. Even after a tough outing, he approaches each new start with confidence and focus.

Caden gives 100% effort every time he steps on the ice and always expects to win. He is a true team player, helping his teammates, promoting accountability, and encouraging everyone to follow team standards. When he’s not in the net, he’s his goalie partner’s biggest supporter—cheering them on with genuine enthusiasm.

Caden’s attitude, resilience, and leadership make him a player any coach would be proud to have—an example of commitment, character, and love for the game.
