Keaton Thompson update.

Here is the latest on Devils Lake defenseman Keaton Thompson from Ryan Clark for the Fargo Forum, uber awesome beat writer for the Fargo Force. A little bio on Keaton Thompson, he is a highly skilled defenseman that has stated that he would like to play for UND someday. Thompson just finished his freshman season at Devils Lake High School where he finished second in point on the Devils Lake with (9g-29pts-38pts)...
Keaton Thompson: Thompson sat out of Saturday’s game against the Indiana Ice and he was hanging out in the suites watching the game. Got a chance to speak with him and he said that he’s really enjoying his time with the Force. Latest on Thompson is that he’s waiting to find out of he will be invited to the National Team Development Program’s set up in Ann Arbor after coming back from tryouts a few weeks ago. He said the experience of trying out went well. The NTDP has only announced that seven players were invited to the camp and the remaining roster will not be announced for a while. Chances are Thompson has a very legit shot of making the camp given how many scouts and junior hockey insiders are big on his upside. Thompson has played 11 games this season, which means the Force will have his rights next season unless he does make the NTDP set up and decides to play with them.
