lump in my throat throughout the entire video. Everyone involved seems so humble. From Joe to his wife, the kids and joe's dad. Even Demers. Just seem like great human beings. My son is playing juniors up in Canada right now and I couldn't be more proud of him. NHL is prob not in his future, but the fact he's even playing juniors is more than enough for me! He's got the same character and kindness Joe has. Love this sport
Both of Joe's parents Wayne and Mary are great people. My mom worked with Mary from the time he was in Jr B to his years in Boston and I have fond memories of going to OHL games and sitting with his parents. It's always nice to bump into them when I am back in St.Thomas.
Can you believe some of those pretentious players teammates seeing Jumbo's Dad running around in rubber boots how real is this man close family ties Canadian way

Another great video with so much into Joe and his family. Love it.
I'm just glad Jumbo never scored that fourth goal. Great wholesome group of videos. I'll be watching!
I think after this video/chat… The sharks/fan base have ANOTHER beloved Thornton (Joe, Scott and now Wayne)
Leafs dart board is pretty cool. Joe's a beauty. Leafs fan, if I ever get a jersey, I think it'll be 97. Class act
Canadian family values. This is what a lot of society is missing right now.
I thought Jumbo had chickens on his farm?
Incredible. Jumbo just seems like a dude you want to just hang out with and pal around with….. can’t wait to see him in the Hall
Down to earth guy, lights don’t match don’t give a 💩 top family. Love jumbo go Leafs!
Gotta love Canadians. They are the best
Correction. Paul Rudd interviews the giy
I love you Joe, you made me childhood special! Thanks for everything and I hope you bring a cup home to California soon!!
I can smell that barn …childhood memories 😊
I enjoyed watching this video series. May you all continue having the time of your lives.
Jumbo’s dad is every farming dad in Canada. What a beauty. Absolutely makes me miss home more.
This is so Canadian 😮
What city or town is the farm located in? Just curious.

What an amazing dad
These family and team moments are just gold. Congrats Jumbo….please continue to turn up (frequently).
I remember when Thornton was a bruin
It's pretty spectacular to watch Jumbo radiate good son energy next to his dad
Papa Joe is a real gentleman
Some good dudes right there.
Very cool old bugger eh. Good stuff
This should be a Canadian Heritage Moment on CBC
