Dalton Thrower (born December 20, 1993) is a Canadian ice hockey defenceman. He is currently playing for the St. John's IceCaps in the American Hockey League (AHL). Thrower was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2nd round (51st overall) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
Thrower competed at the 2010 World U-17 Hockey Challenge held Timmins, Ontario. He was also selected to play in the 2012 CHL Top Prospects Game, and was named the Saskatoon Blades top defenceman for the 2011–12 WHL season. On May 27, 2013 the Giants acquired his rights in exchange for a conditional second round pick in the 2014 Bantam Draft.
On September 16, 2013, after attending the Montreal Canadiens' pre-season training camp, Thrower was assigned to the Hamilton Bulldogs of the American Hockey League.
The Saskatoon Blades are a junior ice hockey team in the Eastern Division of the Western Hockey League. They are based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, playing at the 15,195 seat SaskTel Centre.
The Saskatoon Blades were originally founded in 1964 as a team in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and transferred leagues in 1966–67 with the foundation of the Western Hockey League. They are the only team remaining in the league from the WHL's foundation still in their original city (the Regina Pats are also still around, but they dropped out of the WHL to go back to the SJHL from 1968 to 1970). The Blades spent many seasons at the old Saskatoon Arena where they built up a strong fan base and developed many top players. In 1988, they moved to what was then known as Saskatchewan Place (now SaskTel Centre) and hosted the Memorial Cup tournament in May, 1989, where they finished the round robin with a 5–4 victory over the Swift Current Broncos who had a 14-game undefeated streak, which consisted of sweeping through the WHL playoffs and winning their 1st two round robin games. However, the Blades lost in overtime in the Memorial Cup Final to the Broncos. They also lost in the WHL league finals in 1992 and 1994 to the Kamloops Blazers in seven games. The Blades have never won the Ed Chynoweth Cup, and currently have the longest championship drought in the Canadian Hockey League.

Dalton Thrower's huge hit on Taylor Leier. Leier left the game with injury and has not yet returned. Lets hope he's okay. Very unfortunate result. No penalty was assessed on the play. UPD: Leier did not return to the game and Thrower has been suspended for the remainder of the Memorial Cup. Footage courtesy of sportsnet ontario.
