Thomas Chabot (/ʃəˈbɒt/ shə-BOT; born January 30, 1997) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is a defenceman and alternate captain for the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL). Chabot was drafted in the first round (18th overall) by the Senators in the 2015 NHL entry draft.[1]

In January 2017, Chabot became the first defenceman to be named the most valuable player of the World Junior Championships.[2]
Playing career
[edit]Chabot played in the 2009 and 2010 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with his minor ice hockey team from the Beauce-Nord area.[3] He was drafted by the Saint John Sea Dogs in the second round (22nd overall) of the 2013 QMJHL entry draft, and he played 55 games with the Sea Dogs during the 2013–14 QMJHL season. The following season his outstanding play[4] was rewarded when he was selected to play in the 2015 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game.[5]
Chabot attended the Senators' 2015–16 rookie and main training camps after taking part in Hockey Canada's National Team Summer Showcase held in Calgary during late-summer, playing in three preseason games with Ottawa.[6] He was returned to Saint John on September 30, 2015, the same day he signed a three-year entry-level contract with Ottawa.[6] A year later, Chabot attended the Senators' 2016–17 training camp and made the team, making his NHL debut on October 18, 2016, versus the Arizona Coyotes.[7] He was later returned to the Sea Dogs for his final major junior season after playing in one game with the Senators.[8] At the conclusion of the 2016–17 season, Chabot earned the Sea Dogs' Top Defenceman Award and the Fans Choice Award.[9]
To start the 2017–18 season, Chabot was sent to Ottawa's AHL affiliate, the Belleville Senators, where he recorded two goals and five assists in 12 games before being recalled by Ottawa in November.[10] He scored his first NHL goal, along with two assists, in a 6–5 win over the New York Islanders on December 1, 2017.[11] In his first NHL season, he finished with 9 goals and 16 assists for 25 points in 63 games, while averaging less than 18 minutes of ice-time per game.[12]
Chabot had a breakout season in 2018–19, finishing with 55 points in 70 games, the 10th-highest among NHL defensemen. As the season progressed, his ice-time jumped to an average of 25 minutes per game and he assumed first-pairing duties.[12] He was one of only three defensemen under the age of 25 to score 50 points or more, along with Jacob Trouba and Morgan Rielly.[13] That season, Chabot was named to the NHL All-Star Game.[14] With Ottawa's top two scorers, Mark Stone and Matt Duchene, both traded at the deadline, Chabot finished the season as the team's leading scorer.[12] Following the season, hockey writers began listing Chabot as one of the NHL's top defensemen,[12] and in September 2019, he signed an eight-year, $64 million contract extension with the Senators.[15]
In the seasons that followed, Chabot was the keystone player in Ottawa's defence corps, which was otherwise considered thin by many commentators. As a result he logged very high minutes per game. In the 2021–22 season he averaged 26:23 minutes of ice time per game, the highest for any player on any team in the league, until a March 16, 2022, hand injury caused by Columbus Blue Jackets forward Sean Kuraly ruled him out for the remainder of the year.[16] During the 2022–23 season, Chabot struggled, with growing criticism of his game, though some argued that injury and overuse have affected his play.[17] Chabot missed time with injury again that season, suffering a concussion in November,[18] and an upper body injury in March that ended his season prematurely.[19]

On April 12, 2018, he was one of the 18 players to be named to the 2018 IIHF World Championship to represent Canada.[26] He finished the tournament with one point in six games while Team Canada finished fourth.[27] On April 29, 2019, he was again named to represent Canada at the 2019 IIHF World Championship.[28] He helped Canada progress through to the playoff rounds before losing the final to Finland to finish with the silver medal on May 26, 2019.[29] He was named captain of Team Canada for the 2022 IIHF World Championship.[30] Team Canada finished with the silver medal, after losing the final game 4–3 in overtime to Finland.[31]

Early life
Birth and family
Thomas Chabot was born on January 30, 1997, in Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce, Quebec, Canada.[3][5] He grew up in this small community in the Beauce region, approximately 60 kilometers southeast of Quebec City, where hockey is deeply embedded in local culture through organizations like the Association de Hockey Mineur Beauce-Nord.[6][7] The area's tight-knit environment, including landmarks like Parc de la Famille, provided a backdrop for childhood activities centered on family and community.[6] Chabot is the son of François Chabot, an elementary school teacher, and Claude Chabot, a hairdresser, both of whom fostered a supportive, hockey-oriented household.[8] He has an older brother, Félix-Antoine Chabot, who is four years his senior and also pursued hockey during his youth.[8][6] In his early years, Chabot attended local schools in Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce, where his father taught for many years, balancing education with community involvement in a region renowned for its emphasis on family and outdoor pursuits.[9][8]Youth development
Thomas Chabot began his organized hockey career in the minor hockey associations of Quebec's Beauce-Nord region, where he developed his foundational skills as a young player.[3] His first recorded season was 2008-09 with the Beauce-Nord Rapides in the Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament, at age 11, participating again the following year.[3] He progressed through local youth leagues, playing for the Beauce-Amiante Élites in Bantam AA during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons in the Ligue de Hockey Bantam AA du Québec (LHDBAAQ), and briefly with the Beauce-Amiantes in Midget Espoir for the Quebec Midget Espoir AAA (QMEAA) in 2011-12.[3] Initially playing as a forward due to his natural comfort with the puck, Chabot transitioned to defense during his minor hockey years, a shift encouraged by his father, François, who had played hockey competitively and played a key role in guiding his son's positional development.[10] This early training emphasized blueline responsibilities and decision-making, laying the groundwork for his two-way defensive style.[10] Supported by his family, including François and mother Claude, Chabot balanced rigorous hockey commitments with his education in Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce.[6] He attended École Monseigneur-Feuiltault for elementary school, where his father also taught, managing schoolwork alongside frequent practices and games in the local minor system.[11][8]Playing career
Junior career
Chabot entered the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) after being selected by the Saint John Sea Dogs in the second round, 22nd overall, of the 2013 QMJHL Entry Draft.[12] He joined the team for the 2013–14 season as an 16-year-old rookie, appearing in 55 games and recording 22 points (1 goal, 21 assists) while adjusting to the league's competitive level.[13] In his sophomore year of 2014–15, Chabot showed significant improvement, posting 41 points (12 goals, 29 assists) in 64 games and helping the Sea Dogs reach the playoffs.[13] The following season, 2015–16, he elevated his performance further with 45 points (11 goals, 34 assists) in just 47 games, earning a spot on the QMJHL Second All-Star Team and solidifying his reputation as a top defensive prospect.[1] Chabot's final junior season in 2016–17 was his most dominant, as he tallied 45 points (10 goals, 35 assists) in only 34 regular-season games before adding 23 points in the playoffs, where the Sea Dogs won the QMJHL championship and advanced to the Memorial Cup.[1] For his outstanding play, he received the Émile Bouchard Trophy as the QMJHL Defenseman of the Year, the Paul Dumont Trophy as Personality of the Year, and a selection to the QMJHL First All-Star Team.[1] During this period, Chabot emerged as a versatile two-way defenseman, combining strong defensive positioning and puck-moving ability with offensive instincts that allowed him to contribute effectively in all zones.[3] His strong junior performances culminated in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, where the Ottawa Senators selected him in the first round, 18th overall, recognizing his potential as a high-end puck-moving blueliner.Professional career
Chabot began his professional career with the Ottawa Senators organization following his selection in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. After attending the Senators' training camp for the 2016–17 season, he made his NHL debut on October 18, 2016, against the Arizona Coyotes, logging 7:09 of ice time in a 7–4 victory.[1] However, he was assigned to the American Hockey League's Binghamton Senators shortly thereafter, where he recorded 7 points (2 goals, 5 assists) in 13 games during the 2016–17 campaign.[3] Chabot returned to the NHL full-time in the 2017–18 season, establishing himself as a key defenseman for Ottawa. He scored his first NHL goal on December 1, 2017, a slapshot from the point against the New York Islanders in a 6–5 win.[1] Over the next few seasons, Chabot progressed to a top-pairing role, pairing with veterans like Mark Borowiecki and Cody Ceci while logging significant minutes on the power play and penalty kill. In 2017–18, he posted 25 points (9 goals, 16 assists) in 63 games, followed by a breakout 2018–19 season with 55 points (14 goals, 41 assists) in 70 games, ranking 10th among NHL defensemen in scoring.[1] His performance continued in 2019–20 with 39 points (6 goals, 33 assists) in 71 games and in 2020–21 with 31 points (6 goals, 25 assists) in 49 games, solidifying his status as a cornerstone of Ottawa's blue line.[2] Recognizing his rapid development and leadership qualities, the Senators signed Chabot to an eight-year, $64 million contract extension on September 19, 2019, with an average annual value of $8 million beginning in the 2020–21 season.[14] That same season, on January 4, 2021, he was named an alternate captain alongside Brady Tkachuk and Erik Gudbranson, reflecting his growing influence in the locker room despite the team's ongoing rebuild.[15]Injuries and resurgence
Chabot's injury challenges began intensifying during the 2021–22 season, when various setbacks, including a hand fracture in March 2022 that caused him to miss the end of the season and an illness in February, limited his availability and contributed to inconsistent performance amid the Ottawa Senators' rebuilding efforts.[16] In the 2022–23 season, he appeared in 68 games, recording 11 goals and 30 assists for 41 points, but a concussion in November 2022 and wrist surgery in late March 2023 after dealing with a torn ligament ended his campaign prematurely.[17] The 2023–24 season proved even more tumultuous, as persistent wrist issues—stemming from a cracked bone and ligament damage carried over from the prior offseason—compounded by a fractured hand in October 2023 and a lower-body injury in December that sidelined him for at least four weeks, restricted him to just 51 games.[18][19] In that span, he managed nine goals and 21 assists for 30 points, reflecting a dip in production while averaging over 24 minutes of ice time per game despite the pain.[3] Following wrist surgery in the summer of 2024 to address the lingering issues that had plagued him for over two years, Chabot entered the 2024–25 season fully recovered and focused on regaining his form as a top-pairing defenseman.[20] He played all 80 games, posting nine goals and 36 assists for 45 points—his highest total since the 2019–20 season—while improving defensively with a plus-17 rating and stronger metrics in expected goals against per 60 minutes, helping anchor the Senators' blue line.[21] This resurgence coincided with Ottawa's playoff push, as the team finished with 97 points to secure a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, where Chabot contributed one goal and three assists in six postseason games against Toronto.[17] As the 2025–26 season commenced, Chabot continued his upward trajectory, notching two goals and eight assists for 10 points through 17 games before sustaining an upper-body injury on November 11, 2025, against the Dallas Stars; he was placed on injured reserve on November 17, 2025, and is expected to miss at least one week. Paired initially with Nick Jensen, who returned from offseason hip surgery, the duo faced early struggles in shot and goal differentials, prompting head coach Travis Green to adjust by shifting Jordan Spence to Chabot's side during the November 9 game against Utah, which stabilized the pairing and boosted Ottawa's overall defensive structure. This early production has positioned him to approach key milestones, including surpassing 300 career points—reached during the 2024–25 playoffs—and climbing toward the Senators' all-time top-three in defenseman scoring, currently trailing only Wade Redden and Erik Karlsson.[22][23]International career
Junior international
Chabot first represented Canada at the international level as a draft-eligible prospect at the 2015 IIHF World Under-18 Championship in Switzerland, where he contributed offensively with one goal and four assists over seven games en route to a bronze medal win against the Czech Republic.[24] His strong performance in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with the Saint John Sea Dogs that season, including selection to the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game, helped secure his spot on the national under-18 team.[3] Chabot's standout junior international tournament came at the 2017 IIHF World Junior Championship in Toronto and Montreal, where he served as an alternate captain and led Canada to a silver medal after a shootout loss to the United States in the gold-medal game.[25] He recorded four goals and six assists for 10 points in seven games, topping all defensemen in scoring and leading the entire tournament in average ice time at 26:14 per game.[26] For his efforts, Chabot earned tournament MVP honors—the first defenseman ever to do so—as well as the best defenseman award and recognition as the top player of the final.[26][27]Senior international
Chabot made his senior international debut at the 2018 IIHF World Championship in Denmark, where he recorded one assist in six games as Canada finished fourth.[1] Chabot was selected to Team Canada for the 2019 IIHF World Championship following his breakout 2018–19 NHL season, in which he recorded 55 points in 70 games for the Ottawa Senators.[28][1] He appeared in all 10 games at the tournament in Slovakia, contributing two goals and five assists for seven points while posting a plus-7 rating, helping Canada secure the silver medal after a 3–1 defeat to Finland in the final.[29] Chabot returned for the 2022 IIHF World Championship in Finland, where he was named team captain, a leadership position that built on his role as an alternate captain with the Senators during the 2021–22 season.[30][1][31] Chabot captained Canada to another silver medal, falling 4–3 to Finland in the final, while registering four assists in 10 games.[1][32] Throughout his senior international appearances, Chabot's selections stemmed from his reliable NHL production as a top-pairing defenseman, and his steady play on both ends of the ice proved vital to Canada's back-to-back final appearances despite the rigors of an overlapping professional schedule.[1]Career statistics
Regular season and playoffs
Thomas Chabot made his NHL debut with the Ottawa Senators during the 2016–17 season, appearing in one game without recording a point. He did not play in the American Hockey League (AHL) that year, as he completed his junior season in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League before turning professional. In the 2017–18 season, Chabot split time between the NHL and AHL's Belleville Senators, where he recorded 7 points (2 goals, 5 assists) in 13 games.[3] Chabot's NHL regular season statistics reflect his development into a top-pairing defenseman, with career totals of 73 goals, 241 assists, and 314 points in 529 games as of November 18, 2025. His career-high for points came in 2018–19 with 55 (14 goals, 41 assists) in 70 games, establishing him as one of the league's leading offensive defensemen that year. Chabot has consistently logged heavy minutes, averaging approximately 25:41 of ice time per game over his career, often exceeding 25 minutes in his peak seasons from 2019–20 to 2021–22.[2]NHL Regular Season Statistics
