NHL - North Division


San Jose Sharks

  • Despite the fact Northern California was not a Hockey market for the 1967-68 season the NHL's expansion included a Bay Area team
  • In the late 1980's, a group led by former Hartford Whalers owner Howard Baldwin was pushing the NHL to bring a team to San Jose, where a new arena was being built.
  • On May 5, 1990, the original Hockey team (Gunds) officially sold their share of the North Stars to Baldwin and were awarded a new team in the Bay Area, based in San Jose.
  • The team’s name was inspired by the large number of sharks living in the Pacific Ocean; “Sharks”. Also, due to the qualities these creatures have which are: relentless, determined, swift, agile, bright and fearless.
  • During the 2006 off-season, the San Jose Sharks made significant changes in order to bolster their defense and team grit.
  • The Sharks signed many players such as Graham Mink and Scott Ferguson for their AHL affiliate. And on October 2, 2006, the Sharks acquired Vladimir Malakhov and a first-round conditional draft pick in exchange for Jim Fahey and Alexander Korolyuk, who is playing in Russia.
  • On February 25, 2007 the Sharks acquired Craig Rivet from the Montreal Canadians with a fifth round selection in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, in exchange for defenseman Josh Gorges and San Jose’s first round selection in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
