I wonder if Joe Thornton, captain of the San Jose Sharks, remembers this photo. It was taken in the old Jr. B dressing room of Memorial arena in St. Thomas. Joe, who had just been drafted No. 1 overall by the Boston Bruins, was hosting a fundraiser for his former club, the Stars.
My son was just about to embark on his minor hockey career, which has not turned out to be quite as lucrative as Joe's.
I thought Joe was a class act that day, more than 10 years ago. He deserves his contract extension with the San Jose Sharks. Hope they win the Stanley Cup this season.
