What a good guy he's in my top five favorite Canadian players ever

[@yeltsin6817]

One of my buddies played with Joe out towards in St Thomas when they were younger. He said he was way better than all of the other kids but was a great guy he said. Seems like a classy guy.

That Joseph Eric Thornton is just the most awesome guy, He deserves to hoist that Stanley Cup this year.

Joe Thornton is so great and happy

[@geraldw4867]

Awesome story! Born and raised in London Ontario, which is literally right down the road from St.Thomas. And ever since Boston drafted Joe back in 97, I always imagined myself randomly bumping into him in the Forest City Lol. Good on Jumbo Joe for having a big heart and for being good ol’ Ontario boy. 🤙🇨🇦🏒🥅🏆

[@fallendevonish1869]

What part of the video does he give a hug ?

Hey said "hi"? It's a hug 😂, calm down.

[@peytonkasberg2957]

This is why hockey is the best

Jumbo Joe is so humble this is great

Another reason Joe is the GOAT

[@Bobandy420]

Love You Jumbo

[@UrbanOutlawsSk8Co]

Hockey players are a class above and Joe is a class above that.

Джо красавчик! 👍

[@markdemell8056]

Good story.

[@Scottieguru]

Ice bucket challenge is no challenge for Big Joe. He does them everyday in training to combat inflammation.
