Amanda Thiele grew up in Milford, Michigan, and made her first mark on the international stage before her college career had even begun — winning a gold medal with the United States at the 2020 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship in Slovakia.
From there, Thiele went on to spend four seasons between the pipes for the Ohio State Buckeyes, appearing in 102 games and accumulating 5,585 minutes of work. She finished her college tenure with a record of 74-16-3-14, a .914 save percentage, and 1,699 saves. She also contributed five assists over the course of her college career.
Her senior season at Ohio State was defined in part by a program record: Thiele set the single-season wins mark with 20 victories, adding four shutouts along the way. Among those blank sheets was a 5-0 decision over Wisconsin on January 14, 2023, and a 3-0 shutout of Northeastern in the Frozen Four semifinals on March 17, 2023. She entered the 2024-25 NCAA tournament having appeared in 26 games that season, starting 25 of them.
One of the signature moments of her final college year came on January 4, 2025, when Ohio State played an outdoor game at Wrigley Field against Wisconsin. Thiele made a season-high 31 saves and stopped all seven Wisconsin shootout attempts, securing an extra point in the WCHA standings for the Buckeyes.
Thiele earned recognition both on the ice and in the classroom during her time at Ohio State. On the competitive side, she was named WCHA Goaltender of the Month in February 2022, earned a spot on the WCHA Final Faceoff All-Tournament Team, and appeared on the HCA Women's Hockey Goalie of the Year Watchlist in 2022. Academically, she was a multiple-time OSU Scholar Athlete, Academic All-Big Ten honoree, WCHA All-Academic Team and WCHA Scholar-Athlete selection, and an AHCA All-American Scholar.
Boston selected Thiele in the sixth round of the 2025 PWHL Draft, 42nd overall. She signed a one-year contract with the Fleet following Training Camp, through the 2025-26 season. Thiele wears number 30 for Boston.
