Joe Thornton Autographed 1997 NHL Draft Puck w/"1st Overall"
The puck that started it all — commemorating the moment a Hall of Famer's journey began.
On June 21st, 1997, the Boston Bruins selected Joe Thornton first overall at the NHL Entry Draft — the highest honour a young player can receive, and the beginning of one of the most celebrated careers in hockey history. Over the next two-plus decades, "Jumbo Joe" would go on to win the Hart Trophy, the Art Ross Trophy, and establish himself as one of the most gifted playmakers and offensive centres the game has ever seen, capping his legendary career with induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2025.
This official 1997 NHL Draft puck has been personally autographed by Joe Thornton and includes his "1st Overall" inscription — a unique and meaningful piece that takes you all the way back to where the Jumbo Joe legend began. With his Hall of Fame induction fresh in the books, there has never been a better time to own a piece of Thornton history.
