Former Seattle Thunderbird forward Nate Thompson has been chosen to compete for Team USA at the International Ice Hockey Federation’s 2012 World Championships May 4-20 in Helsinki, Finland and Stockholm, Sweden.

Thompson played with the T-Birds four seasons from 2001 to 2005. He now plays with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Thompson played 68 games this season for the Lightning and had nine goals and 15 points.

“It’s going to be a great experience,” Thompson said on the Tampa Bay website. “We’ll have a chance to go over there representing the US and hopefully take home gold. It will be very cool.”

Thompson is from Anchorage, Alaska.
