The Nanaimo Clippers are thrilled to announce the latest addition to their roster, the highly talented goaltender, Thomas Keisewetter. Born in Novokuznetsk, Russia, Keisewetter's remarkable prowess between the pipes is set to elevate the Clippers to new heights.
Keisewetter's commanding presence and incredible agility make him a force to be reckoned with in the net. Towering 6'6" and weighing in at 209 lbs, Tom has a keen eye for anticipating plays and has shown time and again that he's more than ready to take on the challenges of the ice.
“I’ve heard great things about the Nanaimo Clippers and the BCHL has always been a top of mind when considering places to play,” Thomas said. “Nanaimo has a strong track record of being a winning team,” he added, “I want to be in a place where I can win and I’m excited to be a part of Nanaimo’s continued success.”
Keisewetter's journey to the Clippers has been paved with determination and skill-building experiences. Throughout the 2022-23 season in the NAHL, he demonstrated his resilience and adaptability, splitting his time between the Corpus Christi IceRays and the Danbury Jr. Hat Tricks. In 21 games with Corpus Christi, he held a 3.77 goals against average, a .899 save percentage, and a record of 4-11-3 before being traded to Danbury. During his 9 appearances with Danbury, he showcased his tenacity with a 3.31 goals against average, a .909 save percentage, and a 2-6-1 record.
Notably, Keisewetter's skills have already been recognized on a larger stage. His game with the USHL's Muskegon Lumberjacks yielded a triumphant victory, further underlining his adaptability and determination to excel in various contexts. Even further, Keisewetter has already secured a commitment to Princeton University. Most notably, his recent participation in the NHL Columbus Blue Jackets' development camp exemplifies his potential to make waves in the professional league.
