Thorton Retires
NHL legend and 1997 first overall draft pick Joe Thornton has just announced his retirement via X to the San Jose Sharks faithful.

First ballot Hockey Hall of Famer to be sure.
What a career. And what a character !
🚨 Important Shirtless Jumbo Message 🚨
Thornton amassed over 1700 total NHL games and scored 1539 points along the way. He was most dominant when he was in San Jose having won the Hart and the Art Ross in 2006 after being traded from Boston.
