When considering Thibodeau, the initial step is to overlook his size and frame, which can be challenging. He possesses the necessary skating ability for being undersized. Additionally, his high-paced performance on every shift makes him a compelling option.

Thibodeau excels in gaining zone entries when on the offensive. After entering the attacking zone, he can easily adjust his pace to facilitate play development. His adept edgework and rapid bursts of speed enable him to navigate through traffic smoothly. He possesses a sharp shooting ability with a swift release and better-than-average accuracy. Nevertheless, his forte might lie in serving as a playmaker from the wing.

Thibodeau can struggle when trying to reach the middle of the ice. While he is not hesitant when it comes to physical play, he can struggle to access high-risk areas at times. Increasing his muscle mass would be beneficial, but given his height of 5’9”, there may be limitations to how much he can realistically gain.

Thibodeau has the necessary skills to become a third-line winger at the next level, but achieving this will require patience and hard work.
