At a time when facial hair is rising unabashedly throughout a shut-down nation, one among hockey’s most well-known beards has disappeared.
Sharks heart Joe Thornton chopped off his beard for the primary time in almost two years, the workforce revealed in a video, which confirmed the earlier than and after, with some assist from his daughter, Ayla, who channeled “I Dream of Jeannie” to point out the beautiful change.
The 40-year-old Thornton began rising his graybeard through the 2015-16 season as he and Sharks defenseman Brent Burns grew to become identified for his or her matching seems, which they dubbed “life-style beards.” There was one slight interruption, when Burns shaved Thornton’s beard at a workforce celebration simply earlier than the 2018 season, however Thornton had spent daily since then rising it again.
“I regretted [shaving] as quickly because it began hitting the ground,” Thornton instructed reporters in 2018. “Hopefully it’ll develop again shortly.”
Thornton’s son was not a fan of him clean-shaven on the time.
“My 5-year-old wasn’t glad this morning when he wakened,” Thornton stated. “He didn’t need to see dad, so I’ve bought to make it as much as him.”
With the NHL’s season on pause due to the coronavirus pandemic, Thornton has a while to start out rising his beard again in. He gained’t want to fret about rising one for the playoffs, although — if there are playoffs — because the Sharks have been in final place within the Western Convention on the time the season was suspended.
