SOUND TIGERS WEEKLY SPOTLIGHT
CHRIS THOMPSON
Left Wing - Shoots: Left
Height: 6'2'' Weight: 205 lbs
Born: April 10, 1978 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan
Signed as a free agent with the Sound Tigers this past summer
Have you ever fought a friend during a game or become teammates with someone you fought? Both. It's weird, but it happens. I'm still friends with the guys that I know, but I had a real bad fight with a guy once and two weeks later, he was traded to our team; that was really awkward.
Speaking of awkward, didn't you play with another guy named Chris Thompson? Yes, in Dayton. They put the initial 'C' on his uniform to tell us apart, but a lot of the stats reports now list me as Chris M. Thompson even though he doesn't play anymore.
What's the 'M' for? Michael.
Ever had a funny or strange nickname? Not really; it's usually Toms or Tommer.
What do you want to do when you're finished playing? Coach, but I want to play as long as I can.
Ever had an interesting job? I've worked on a cattle ranch that's owned by the family of a former teammate of mine, Lars Petersen. I really enjoyed that. If I could go do that every summer, I would!
