Throughout the weekend the Petes alumnus is consistently stopped by fans walking to and at the events with requests for autographs, photos, and chats, making time for everyone who approaches him. At six feet, Thornton isn’t particularly tall for the leagues he played in. However, his ‘rugby-esque’ stature, in combination with his facial scars, makes the Oshawa native easily recognizable and his gracious presence unforgettable to fans. Before a long term career in professional hockey, Thornton dressed for the maroon and white from 1995-97. He compliments the goaltending of Zac Bierk, the team’s on-ice systems, and the closeness of the group as reasons for their statistical success. Of his former teammates Shawn remains close with Petes left winger Dave Duerden, talking to him once a month and crashing on his basement couch when he comes home. Predicting much of his future career, Thornton’s time with the Petes was born out of a demonstration of grit. Previous Petes General Manager Jeff Twohey spotted Shawn at a tournament in Gatineau, Quebec in a game between the Montreal and Oshawa Major Midgets: Montreal, if I remember right, scored a goal and went by the bench and kind of milked the goal and taunted the bench. I can’t remember if Shawn was on the bench or on the ice, but he grabbed the guy and beat the snot out of him. At the time, and I happened to be sitting beside his mother at the time, she was a little bit animated in the fight. I looked at her and said, ‘Kid looks like he knows what he’s doing,’ and she said, ‘he’s never been beat’.” Continued on Page 13 PAGE 8 OFFICIAL GAMEDAY PROGRAM peterborough petes kingston frontenacS FORWARDS FORWARDS # NAME POS.
