Sébastien Thinel (born March 24, 1981) is a Canadian professional ice hockey Winger who currently plays for the Fife Flyers of the EIHL.

On August 23, 2011, Thinel was signed by the Missouri Mavericks of the Central Hockey League for the 2011-12 season.[1] During that season, Thinel became the first player in team history to score at least 80 Points in a season (82 Points on 23 Goals and 59 Assists)[2] That season, he also broke Jeff Christian's franchise record of Points scored in a season (78 Points set during the team's inaugural 2009-10 season).[2]

On July 19, 2012, it was announced that Thinel re-signed with the Mavericks for the 2012-13 Missouri Mavericks season.[3][4]

On June 13, 2013, it was announced that Thinel re-signed with the Mavericks for the 2013-14 season.[5] During that season, on February 15, 2014 against the Allen Americans, Thinel scored his 300th goal in the Central Hockey League, becoming only the sixth player in league history to do so.[6] During a 5-2 win against the Quad City Mallards on March 5, 2014, Thinel became only the third player in Central Hockey League history to score 900 career Points in the Central Hockey League.[7] In a game against the Brampton Beast on March 16, 2014, Thinel climbed to second place on the All-Time Central Hockey League Assist list with 602 Assists.[8]

On July 7, 2014, Thinel re-signed with the Missouri Mavericks for the 2014-15 season.[9] On October 7, 2014, it was announced that the Central Hockey League had folded and had joined the ECHL, nullifying Thinel's Central Hockey League contract with the team.[10][11] On October 9, 2014, Thinel re-signed with the Mavericks under an ECHL contract.[12]

In July 2014, Missouri Mavericks fans voted Thinel the Number 1 greatest Mavericks player in a poll of the Top-10 Mavericks players from the first 5 years of the team's existence.[13][14][15]

On June 3, 2015, Thinel signed with the French club Brûleurs de Loups de Grenoble of League Magnus.[16]
