# Lou Dickenson

Lou Dickenson (born 15 August 1982) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who last played for the Thetford Assurancia of the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey. He was selected by the Edmonton Oilers in the fourth round (113th overall) of the 2000 NHL Entry Draft.
Early on in his junior career, he was labeled as a potential first round draft pick for the 2000 Draft, due to his combination of speed, size and skill. Unfortunately, being on dismal Mississauga IceDogs teams hindered his development, and he fell to the 4th round, drafted by the Edmonton Oilers. Dickenson played in the American Hockey League with the San Antonio Rampage before embarking on a European career.
On 15 July 2015, having left Herning Blue Fox of the Danish Metal Ligaen, Dickenson agreed to a contract with Scottish club, the Dundee Stars of the EIHL after securing a placement to study at the University of Dundee.
In 2017, Dickenson co-founded a hockey training program in Ottawa named Lou Dickenson Elite Performance Hockey, which offers one on one coaching for hockey players.

## Personal life

In 2011, Dickenson married Swedish-born Alexandra and they had two children together in Europe before moving back to Canada in 2016.
