When Cody Thornton steps onto the ice on Saturday Night (March 17th) not only will the Greyhound captain lead his team into their final regular season game of 2006/2007, he will also put himself among the elite of the OHL and in their record books.

A draft pick of the Belleville Bulls in the 3rd round (55th overall) of the 2002 OHL Priority Selection, Thornton made his Major Junior debut back on September 21st, 2002 when the Bulls played host to the Peterborough Petes.

Since that day, the Woodstock, ONTARIO native has played 5 seasons in the OHL while missing just 12 regular season games. Saturday his career total will hit 328 regular season games played, thus surpassing the old OHL mark of 327 held by Nick Lees (Oshawa, Guelph, Barrie and Saginaw).

At the start of the 2nd period Saturday, Thornton will be recognized for this accomplishment with a ceremony to take place at centre ice.
