Amanda Thiele's college career at Ohio State University ended with a professional contract in hand. The Milford, Michigan native was selected by the Boston Fleet in the sixth round, 42nd overall, in the 2025 PWHL Draft, then signed a one-year deal with Boston through the 2025–26 season following Training Camp.
Thiele spent four seasons with the Ohio State Buckeyes, appearing in 102 games and logging 5,585:42 minutes between the pipes. She finished her collegiate career with a record of 74-16-3-14, a .914 save percentage, and 1,699 saves. Along the way she recorded five assists. In her senior season, she set a program record for single-season wins with 20 and added four shutouts — including a 5-0 victory over Wisconsin on January 14, 2023, and a 3-0 Frozen Four semifinal shutout of Northeastern on March 17, 2023.
One of the more distinctive moments of her final college season came on January 4, 2025, when Ohio State took part in an outdoor game at Wrigley Field. Thiele made a season-high 31 saves and turned away all seven Wisconsin shootout attempts, helping the Buckeyes earn an extra point in the WCHA standings.
Her individual honors in Columbus included WCHA Goaltender of the Month for February 2022, a spot on the HCA Women's Hockey Goalie of the Year Watchlist in 2022, and a place on the WCHA Final Faceoff All-Tournament Team. She was also recognized repeatedly for her academic work, earning OSU Scholar Athlete honors in 2021, 2022, and 2023, Academic All-Big Ten recognition in 2022 and 2023, WCHA All-Academic Team and WCHA Scholar-Athlete distinctions in 2022 and 2023, and the AHCA All-American Scholar designation in 2021.
Before her college career began, Thiele represented the United States internationally, winning a gold medal at the 2020 IIHF Women's U-18 World Championship held in Slovakia.
