Playing career

Dickinson was rated as a top prospect who fulfilled the expectation to be a first round selection at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.[1][2] Dickinson joined the Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League for the 2011–12 OHL season and was recognised for his stand-out play when he was named to the OHL Second All-Rookie Team.[3] The following season he was invited to take part in the CHL Top Prospects Game, and was then selected to play with the gold medal winning Canadian squad at the 2013 IIHF World U18 Championships.[4] In the 2013–14 season, Dickinson helped the Storm capture the OHL championship before losing to the Edmonton Oil Kings in the Memorial Cup finals.

On May 29, 2014, Dickinson was signed to a three-year entry level contract by the Dallas Stars.[5] Upon completion of his junior season Dickinson was assigned to finish the 2014–15 season with the Stars AHL affiliate in Texas on April 16, 2015.

On April 7, 2016, Dickinson made his NHL debut against the Colorado Avalanche and scored his first career NHL goal in the same game.[6]
