San Jose Sharks facts for kids
The San Jose Sharks are a professional ice hockey team located in San Jose, California. They play in the National Hockey League (NHL) as part of the Pacific Division in the Western Conference. The team is owned by San Jose Sports & Entertainment Enterprises.
The Sharks started playing in the 1991–92 season. They first played their home games at the Cow Palace before moving to their current home, SAP Center at San Jose, in 1993. Fans often call the SAP Center "the Shark Tank." The Sharks also have connections with two minor league teams: the San Jose Barracuda in the American Hockey League (AHL) and the Wichita Thunder in the ECHL.
The Sharks were created on May 9, 1990. This happened after the owners of the Minnesota North Stars sold their share to allow a new NHL team in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Sharks were the first team in the area since the California Golden Seals moved to Cleveland in 1976.
The Sharks have reached the Stanley Cup Final once, but they lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016. They won the Presidents' Trophy once in the 2008–09 season, which means they had the best record in the league during the regular season. They have also won six division titles in the Pacific Division since 1993.

Team History
How the Sharks Started
Ice hockey in the Bay Area goes back to the San Francisco Shamrocks in the 1940s. The Sharks' story really began with the San Francisco Seals in 1961. They were given a team for San Francisco.
Later, the California Golden Seals joined the NHL in 1967. They played until 1976 but were not very successful. Gordon and George Gund III became part-owners of the Seals in 1974. They helped the team move to Cleveland in 1976.
The Gund brothers later bought the Minnesota North Stars. They wanted to bring hockey back to the Bay Area. The NHL didn't allow them to move the North Stars. However, a group led by Howard Baldwin wanted a team in San Jose, where a new arena was being built.
The NHL found a solution: the Gunds sold their share of the North Stars to Baldwin's group. In return, the Gunds got a new expansion team in the Bay Area. This new team started playing in the 1991–92 season. They could also pick some players from the North Stars. On May 9, 1990, the new San Jose team was officially approved.
More than 5,000 names were suggested for the new team. "Blades" was the most popular, but the owners chose "Sharks." They thought "Blades" sounded too much like weapons. The name "Sharks" was inspired by the many sharks living in the Pacific Ocean near the Bay Area. This area is even called the "red triangle" because of its shark population.
Matt Levine, the team's first marketing head, said the name "Sharks" fit because sharks are "relentless, determined, swift, agile, bright and fearless."
Playing at the Cow Palace (1991–1993)
For their first two seasons, the Sharks played at the Cow Palace in Daly City. This arena is just outside San Francisco. Pat Falloon was their first player picked in the draft. He led the team in points in their first season.
George Kingston was their first head coach. The team had many struggles, which is common for new teams. In the 1992–93 season, they lost 71 games, which is an NHL record. They also had a 17-game losing streak. Kingston was fired after this season.
Even though the team struggled, the Sharks were very popular. They led the NHL in merchandise sales, making $150 million. This was 27% of the NHL's total sales.
The team had some "firsts" during this time. On November 17, 1992, goalie Arturs Irbe got the first shutout in team history. He helped the Sharks beat the Los Angeles Kings 6–0. On December 3, Rob Gaudreau scored the first hat-trick (three goals in one game) for the team.
The Sharks also introduced their mascot, "S. J. Sharkie," in their first year. He first appeared on January 28, 1992. Fans helped choose his name.
Early Success and Rebuilding (1993–1997)

For their third season, 1993–94, the Sharks moved to their new home, the San Jose Arena. They were now in the Western Conference's Pacific Division. Under coach Kevin Constantine, the Sharks made a huge improvement. They finished with a 33–35–16 record and made the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time. They gained 58 more points than the previous season, which was an NHL record.
They were the eighth-seeded team and faced the top-seeded Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings were expected to win the Stanley Cup. But in a big upset, the Sharks beat the Red Wings in seven games. In the final game, Jamie Baker scored the winning goal. The Sharks became the first eighth-seed in North American sports to beat a first-seed in a playoff series. In the next round, they led the Toronto Maple Leafs 3–2 but lost the last two games.
In 1994–95, the Sharks made the playoffs again. They reached the second round after Ray Whitney scored a double-overtime goal against the Calgary Flames. Key players included goalie Arturs Irbe, defenseman Sandis Ozolinsh, and forwards Igor Larionov and Sergei Makarov. However, they were swept by Detroit in the second round. This season also saw the only "rainout" in NHL history when the Guadalupe River flooded.
In 1995–96, the Sharks finished last and missed the playoffs. They traded Ozolinsh and Larionov. Arturs Irbe was released. The team started to rebuild, getting forward Owen Nolan from the Colorado Avalanche. Coach Constantine was fired and Jim Wiley took over.
Dean Lombardi's Time (1996–2003)
In 1996, Dean Lombardi became the general manager. The next season was still tough, with the Sharks finishing last again. This helped them draft Patrick Marleau in the 1997 NHL entry draft.
The Sharks returned to the playoffs in 1997–98 with goalie Mike Vernon and new coach Darryl Sutter. For the next two years, they made the playoffs but didn't get past the first round. In 1999, San Jose got star player Vincent Damphousse.
San Jose's luck changed in the 1999–2000 season. They had their first winning record. They upset the St. Louis Blues, who had the best record in the league that year, in seven games. However, the Sharks lost to the Dallas Stars in the second round.
In 2000–01, goalie Evgeni Nabokov won the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL's best rookie. The team also got Finnish star forward Teemu Selanne. In the 2001 playoffs, the St. Louis Blues beat the Sharks in the first round.
The team's big year was 2001–02. They got veteran Adam Graves and won their first Pacific Division title. They beat the Phoenix Coyotes in the first round of the 2002 playoffs but lost to the Colorado Avalanche in the second round.
After the 2001–02 season, the Gunds sold the Sharks to a group of local investors. The team started badly in 2002–03 due to contract issues with Nabokov and defenseman Mike Rathje. Coach Sutter was fired and Ron Wilson took over.
Near the 2003 NHL trade deadline, captain Owen Nolan was traded. This marked a new time for the Sharks. General manager Dean Lombardi was fired on March 18, 2003. Doug Wilson was named the new general manager on May 13.
Doug Wilson's Time (2003–2022)
Team Gets Stronger (2003–2005)
The 2003–04 season, with new general manager Doug Wilson and coach Ron Wilson, was a great turnaround. Young players like Christian Ehrhoff and Tom Preissing, and the energy from Alexander Korolyuk, helped the team. San Jose also got Nils Ekman.

The Sharks had their best season yet, with 104 points. They won the Pacific Division and were second in the Western Conference. In the 2004 playoffs, the Sharks beat the St. Louis Blues and the Colorado Avalanche. For the first time, they reached the conference finals. However, they lost to the Calgary Flames, who were coached by former Sharks coach Daryl Sutter. During this season, Patrick Marleau became the team's captain.
Joe Thornton Joins the Team (2005–2006)
The Sharks started the 2005–06 season slowly. After a ten-game losing streak, they traded some players to the Boston Bruins for star player Joe Thornton. This trade gave the team new energy. The Sharks improved and made the playoffs. They beat the Nashville Predators but lost to the Edmonton Oilers.
Joe Thornton won the Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL's Most Valuable Player. He also won the Art Ross Trophy for leading the league in points with 125. Jonathan Cheechoo won the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy for scoring the most goals (56) in the regular season.
Playoff Challenges (2006–2015)
The Sharks had a great start to the 2006–07 season. They made some trades to get defenseman Craig Rivet and winger Bill Guerin. Goalie Nabokov played very well. The Sharks finished with their best regular season record ever: 51 wins, 26 losses, and 5 overtime losses. They beat the Nashville Predators again in the playoffs but lost to the Detroit Red Wings.

For the 2007–08 season, the Sharks changed their logos and jerseys. They had a strong March, not losing any games in regulation. They got Brian Campbell in a trade. The Sharks won their third Pacific Division title with a record 108 points. In the 2008 playoffs, they beat the Calgary Flames in a Game 7 at home. But they lost to the Dallas Stars in the next round. This was their third playoff loss to Dallas.
Ron Wilson was fired as head coach on May 12, 2008. The Sharks hired Todd McLellan as their new head coach for the 2008–09 season. They also signed defenseman Rob Blake and got Dan Boyle. The Sharks finished the regular season with 53 wins and 117 points, both team records. They won the Presidents' Trophy. However, they were eliminated by the eighth-seeded Anaheim Ducks in the first round of the playoffs. Many people criticized the team for not doing well in the playoffs.

In 2009, General Manager Doug Wilson made many big changes. They traded players like Christian Ehrhoff and Brad Lukowich. They also traded Milan Michalek and Jonathan Cheechoo to the Ottawa Senators for Dany Heatley. The Sharks also signed players like Scott Nichol and Manny Malhotra.
Patrick Marleau was no longer captain, and Rob Blake became the new captain. The Sharks finished the regular season leading the Western Conference with 113 points. In the playoffs, they beat the Colorado Avalanche and the Detroit Red Wings. But they lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in the conference finals.
On June 23, 2010, the Sharks announced they would not re-sign goalie Evgeni Nabokov. On July 1, 2010, they signed goalie Antero Niittymaki. On September 2, 2010, they signed Antti Niemi, who had helped the Blackhawks beat them the season before. Niemi signed a four-year contract extension in March 2011.

On March 31, 2011, the Sharks made the playoffs for the 13th time. They won their sixth Pacific Division championship. In the 2011 playoffs, they faced the Los Angeles Kings. The Sharks won the series in six games, with captain Joe Thornton scoring the winning goal in triple overtime.
The Sharks then faced the Detroit Red Wings. They won the first three games but lost the next three, forcing a Game 7. The Sharks won Game 7, 3–2, and advanced to their third conference finals. They played the Vancouver Canucks. San Jose lost the series in five games.
In 2011, the Sharks traded winger Devin Setoguchi and draft picks to the Minnesota Wild for All-Star defenseman Brent Burns. They also traded Dany Heatley to Minnesota for Martin Havlat.
The Sharks finished the 2011–12 season with 96 points and made the playoffs. They lost to the St. Louis Blues in the first round. Coach McLellan stayed for another season.
Before the 2012–13 season, Larry Robinson joined McLellan's coaching staff. Veteran defenseman Brad Stuart also rejoined the Sharks. In the first round of the 2013 playoffs, the Sharks swept the Vancouver Canucks. This was their first series-sweep ever. They then lost to the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings in seven games.
Before the 2013–14 season, the Sharks showed off new uniforms. They started the season very well, winning 8 of their first 9 games. In the first round of the 2014 playoffs, the Sharks faced the Los Angeles Kings again. The Sharks took a 3–0 lead in the series but lost the next four games. This was only the fourth time in NHL history a team lost a best-of-seven series after winning the first three games.
On August 20, 2014, coach Todd McLellan said the team would start the 2014–15 season without a captain. All players, including former captains Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau, could try for the role. No captain was named that season. The Sharks hosted the 2015 Stadium Series against the Kings in February 2015, losing 2–1. The Sharks missed the playoffs for the first time in ten years. On April 20, 2015, the team announced they had "parted ways" with McLellan and his staff.
First Stanley Cup Final (2015–2019)
On May 28, 2015, Peter DeBoer became the new head coach. The Sharks got new players like forward Joel Ward, goalie Martin Jones, and defenseman Paul Martin. They named forward Joe Pavelski the team's captain.
The Sharks had a strong second half of the season and returned to the playoffs. They finished third in their division. They beat the Los Angeles Kings, Nashville Predators, and St. Louis Blues. This meant they won the Western Conference championship for the first time. The Sharks reached the Stanley Cup Final but lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games.
In the next season, the Sharks finished third in their division. They lost to the Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the 2017 playoffs. After the season, long-time player Patrick Marleau left to sign with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He held almost all of the team's offensive records.
In the 2017–18 season, the Sharks finished third again. They swept the Anaheim Ducks in the first round of the 2018 playoffs. But they lost to the new Vegas Golden Knights in six games in the second round.
The 2018–19 season saw another playoff appearance for the Sharks. They made a dramatic comeback against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 7 of the first round. The Sharks then beat the Colorado Avalanche in seven games to reach the conference finals. They lost to the St. Louis Blues in six games. On October 8, 2019, Patrick Marleau rejoined the Sharks.
Missing the Playoffs (2019–2022)
On December 11, 2019, coach DeBoer and his staff were fired because the team was not winning. Assistant coach Bob Boughner became the interim head coach. In March 2020, the league stopped playing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When the season restarted, the Sharks were not in the playoffs. They finished last in their division and conference. Boughner became the permanent head coach on September 22, 2020.
Due to the pandemic, the divisions were changed for the 2020–21 season. The Sharks played in the West Division. They missed the playoffs for the second year in a row. In the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, the Sharks picked William Eklund seventh overall.

On February 26, the Sharks traded star forward Timo Meier to the New Jersey Devils for several future draft picks and players. In their first season under Grier and Quinn, the Sharks missed the playoffs for the fourth season in a row.
Defenseman Erik Karlsson led the Sharks in scoring in 2022–23. He had 101 points and 67 assists, which are records for a Sharks defenseman.

Team Information
Logo and Jerseys
The Sharks' famous logo, showing a shark biting a hockey stick, has been used since their first season in 1991–92. It had small changes in 2007–08. The triangle in the logo represents the "Red Triangle" area near the Pacific Ocean, known for sharks.
The Sharks' first jerseys were teal for away games and white for home games. They had white or teal letters with black trim. These were used until the 1997–98 season.
The Sharks later introduced new jerseys with a darker teal and wider gray stripes. In 2001–02, they started wearing a black third jersey.
In 2007, the Sharks got new home and away jerseys. The teal home jersey had a black shoulder area, and the white away jersey had a teal shoulder area. Both jerseys added orange trim and numbers on the right chest.
In 2008–09, the Sharks added a new black alternate jersey. This jersey became the basis for their new main jerseys in 2013–14.
After switching to Adidas jerseys in 2017, the Sharks kept a similar look. They introduced a new black "Stealth" jersey in 2018. This jersey had a different shark logo and cool circuit board-like stripes.
The Sharks wore special jerseys for the 2015 Stadium Series. They also brought back slightly changed versions of their original teal jerseys for their 25th and 30th anniversaries.
For the 2020–21 season, the Sharks wore "Reverse Retro" jerseys. These were gray with black stripes, similar to their 1997–2007 teal uniforms.
In 2022, the Sharks released new uniforms inspired by their original 1991–1998 look. They also unveiled another "Reverse Retro" uniform based on the old California Golden Seals jerseys.
In the 2023–24 season, the Sharks showed off a new black "Cali Fin" alternate uniform. It had an updated fin logo and a special "Northern California" patch. The Sharks also started wearing their teal helmets for away games.

Team Traditions
The Sharks' most famous tradition is their pre-game entrance. Before each home game, the lights go down. A 17-foot shark mouth is lowered from the ceiling. Its eyes flash red, and fog comes out. Players then skate out of the locker room, through the shark mouth, and onto the ice. The Sharks currently use "Seek & Destroy" by Metallica as their entrance song.
When the Sharks get a power play (meaning the other team has a player in the penalty box), the Jaws theme song plays. Fans do "The Chomp" by moving their arms like a shark's jaws.
Team Rivalries
The Sharks have a long-standing rivalry with another California NHL team, the Los Angeles Kings.
