You know you're a big deal when someone makes a sand sculpture of you. Well, Tim Thomas is a big deal and a sand sculpture just confirmed it.
Greg Grady Jr.'s sculpture of the Bruins goaltender was created as part of the 10th annual Master Sand Sculpting Competition at Hampton Beach.
Considering Thomas has a Stanley Cup, a Conn Smythe Trophy and two Vezina Trophies to his credit, this may be a minor honor. Nevertheless, it's pretty impressive.
Check out a photo of the sculpture below.
