The University of Toronto Varsity Blues are excited to share the commitment of Olivia Thompson to the field hockey program for the 2026Â season.
"I chose the University of Toronto because it gives me the opportunity to pursue excellence both academically and athletically," said Thompson. "The Rotman Commerce program has an outstanding reputation worldwide and the Varsity Blues competitive, supportive, team-first culture made it the perfect fit for me. I’m excited to begin a new chapter this fall, and be apart of an amazing team and academic program."
A 5-foot-6 midfield from Thorndale, Thompson joins the Blues via Medway High School and Team Ontario.
With her high school team, Thompson helped Medway to OFSAA field hockey bronze in 2024, silver in 2025, and gold in 2025. Team captain during their championship season, she received both the Field Hockey Award. Thompson additionally played with the ice hockey team, receiving the Most Dedicated Award in 2025 and Coaches Award in 2026. Her exceptional ability earned her opportunities with Team Ontario, competing at both the 2025 and 2026 National Championships.
An honour roll student throughout her high school career, Thompson will begin her studies in the Rotman Commerce program at U of T this fall.
Students who sign a letter of intent and/or commit to Varsity Blues intercollegiate teams will be eligible to play at the University of Toronto provided they are academically admissible and have applied through the normal process with the Ontario Universities Application Centre.
