Tom Dion

Thomas Dion is an American retired ice hockey defenseman who was an All-American for Boston University.

For his senior season, Dion was named team captain and led the Terriers to an excellent record in the regular season. Dion was one of the key contributors in BU's third consecutive Beanpot championship. With all signs pointing to the Terriers competing for another championship, the team collapsed in the playoffs. The Terriers were beaten by long-time rival Boston College in the conference quarterfinals, causing the team to receive a 4th-seed for the NCAA Tournament. Boston University received a poor draw for the first round and lost to Michigan State in their only game.

Dion signed a professional contract after the season, playing the following year with the Wheeling Thunderbirds. Despite posting good numbers for a first-year pro, he decided to retire after the year.
