THIBS IS BACK 🔥

The West Nipissing Lynx are excited to officially welcome back 2005 born forward Tyler Thibodeau for the upcoming 2026/27 season

Tylers Rookie year he appeared in 36 regular season games where he recorded:
🏒 16 Goals
🎯 27 Assists
🔥 43 Points
⚡ 6 Multi-Point Games

Tyler followed that up this past season with another big step offensively, posting:
💥 18 Goals
💥 41 Assists
💥 59 Points in 41 Games

His ability to create offense, attack open ice, and make plays under pressure quickly made him one of the Lynx’s most dangerous forwards every single night.

Standing at 6’2”, Tyler brings a combination of size, vision, and compete level that makes him difficult to contain. Whether he’s finishing around the net or setting up teammates, he continues to evolve into a complete two-way player and a leader within our lineup.

Tyler’s impact last season didn’t go unnoticed around the league. Not only was he recognized by his teammates and coaching staff as the team’s MVP & Top Forward, but he also earned the respect of opponents across the GMHL with his consistent offensive production and compete level night after night. His standout season was capped off with a well-deserved selection to the 2026 GMHL All-Star Game, further proving he had become one of the league’s most recognized and dangerous forwards.

From day one, Tyler bought into the culture being built in West Nipissing — and now he returns hungry to help push this group even further.

Welcome back, TT15. 🐾
