LETHBRIDGE, AB – One of the Lethbridge Hurricanes’ goalies is being recognized by the WHL.

They have named Bryan Thomson their Goaltender of the Week for the week ending on April 10, 2022.

He turned aside 44 of 46 shots on goal while in the net during two of Lethbridge’s games this past week.

Thomson posted a 2-0-0-0 record, a 1.00 goals-against-average, and a .957 save percentage, helping the Hurricanes to clinch a berth in the 2022 WHL Playoffs.

Originally from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, he started the week by stopping 23 shots during last Wednesday’s home game against the Saskatoon Blades, helping Lethbridge to emerge victorious 6-1.

He then turned aside 21 shots on his 20th birthday on Saturday, April 9, as the Canes crushed Calgary 5-1.

The 6’5″, 182-pound goaltender sits third among WHL netminders with nine wins since March 1, 2022, and has collected a victory in seven of his last 10 outings for Lethbridge.

Thomson was originally selected by the Hurricanes in the second round of the 2017 WHL Draft. In 92 career WHL regular-season games, all with Lethbridge, he holds a 45-34-3-1 record, a 3.17 goals-against average, .896 save percentage, and two shutouts.

Up next for Thomson, he will hit the ice with the Lethbridge Hurricanes for two games this week, starting when the Canes welcome the Moose Jaw Warriors to the ENMAX Centre on Friday, April 15 at 7:00 pm.
