The Summerside Western Capitals have hired Kiefer Thompson as the team's new goaltending coach, the team announced on Saturday, August 1.
A native of Summerside, P.E.I., Thompson played minor hockey in Prince County and suited up for both the Kensington Wild and the Charlottetown Knights (Under-18 Major Midget) after developing at the Ontario Hockey Academy.
In 2021, Thompson was a territorial pick of the Western Capitals at the MHL Draft and was also a sixth-round pick of the Moncton Wildcats at the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League Entry Draft.
Thompson ended his playing career due to injury and has since worked with Hockey P.E.I., State of Mind Goaltending, Atlantic Hockey Group, Brave Athletic Performance and the Western Rebels Under-16 AAA.
