San Jose Sharks History
The California Golden Seals played at the Oakland Coliseum from 1967–1976 before relocating to Cleveland. While a failure at the box office and on the ice, the Seals sowed the seeds for the Sharks' arrival some 15 years later. With Wayne Gretzky's trade to Los Angeles in 1988, hockey fever spread across non-traditional markets, and San Jose was among the first cities into which the league ventured.
The Sharks initially played at the Cow Palace in Daly City in 1991 before moving into their current home, the SAP Center, in 1993. The new digs agreed with the team, as they experienced an NHL record 58-point increase over the prior season. Early stars such as Sergei Makarov, Pat Falloon and the Latvian duo of Sandis Ozoliņš and Artūrs Irbe gave the Sharks an early level of respectability.
Gaining a reputation as giant-killers, the upstart Sharks dispatched the heavily favored Detroit Red Wings in the 1994 Western Conference Finals and the Presidents' Trophy-winning St. Louis Blues in 2000. The Sharks continued to flirt with success for the next decade, riding the talents of such star players as Owen Nolan, Marco Sturm, Evgeni Nabokov, Patrick Marleau, and Joe Thornton.
The Sharks went on to win the Presidents' Trophy again in 2009, and have captured a total of six Pacific Division titles and appeared in the Western Conference Finals four times.

San Jose Sharks at SAP Center
The San Jose Sharks have made the SAP Center in San Jose their home since 1993. The "Shark Tank," as it is affectionately known, is one of the most raucous buildings in the league. In 2006, the SAP Center, which also hosts concert events year-round in addition to hockey, sold 633,435 tickets to non-sporting events — the most out of any venue in the Western United States and fourth-highest in the world.
The San Jose Sharks’ 2023–24 regular season kicks off in October at home as the Sharks face off against the reigning Stanley Cup Champions Vegas Golden Knights. The Sharks play their final game of the regular season at Scotiabank Saddledome against Pacific Division opponents the Calgary Flames. Here’s a list of key games to keep an eye on:

What a totally awesome game! Being there with 4-5000 other Vancouver Canuck fans was truly an amazing experience! I would most definitely suggest it to others! I personally didn't experience any negativity from their fans. Go Canucks Go!
Great event. The arena is amazing. Canucks absolutely dominated and were worth watching. Can't say the same for the Sharks though.
We were lucky to get seats and even though we were at the very top row the view was still excellent! I love that they gave out towels to everyone with the Sharks logo on it. Fantastic game (we won of course!) Go Sharks!
HP Pavilion is great! Better than most NHL Hockey Arenas I've been to. There is a good variety of food (note it's all Pepsi products not Coca Cola for drinks) all be it at venue prices but actually pretty tasty. We had the hot pastrami with ice tea, garlic fries and popcorn. Once the game starts they do lots to keep the crowd amused. Fun time!
Awesome time!!! Would highly recommend!!! GO SHARKS GO!!!
The arena is amazing. I took my son and nephew. They let us go down to the glass at 7 to watch the warm-ups. Not a great game if you are a sharks fan. Chicago looked very good. Hossa's first game back.
Good sight lines (the whole arena is well designed for that). Parking was reasonably close. the sharks lost 7-2 with 3 short handed goals, but the game was still entertaining.
We had a great time, fans were right in to it, Sharks played well We bought tickets for tomorrows game
