Brad next attended Northeastern University where he stood between the pipes for 3 seasons and became a Hobey Baker Award Finalist. Thiessen briefly played in the ECHL with Wheeling and most recently has been playing for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, where he has been in the nets for 30 and 46 games respectively over the past 2 years. Brad has solidly worked his way up the depth chart for the Pittsburgh Penguins and was thrilled to hoist the Stanley Cup during the teams on ice celebration in 2009 as he was part of the taxi squad.
