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 in 2009, and have captured a total of six Pacific Division titles and appeared in the Stanley Cup Playoffs 21 times.

Center ice view to see everything. Seats in this location have small backs. Allowing the person behind you to have a field day on your kidneys. All in all great view, seats could use a upgrade.
I would go again to a sharks game. The arena is good and the staff is nice
Wild won 6-3, great game! Awesome venue in the Alaska Club.
Every Sharks game is the best experience of the year for me. We live 4+ hours away and still manage to come to at least 5 home games a year. Would always recommend.
It is exciting and electrifying to be at the tank to watch San Jose Sharks hockey!!
Its Always great to go to a Sharks game, but this was especially great because it was me and my granddaughter. We had so much fun and the people at the tank a fantastic.
The game was amazing my seat was on top but everything was still really clear
Awesome, I was 0 and 2 going in to this game. Finally got a win!
It was a great game with lots of goals, a win and topped off with a visit from Jonathan Cheechoo!! Love Sharks games - so much fun!!!
Incredible game! The best I’ve ever seen the Sharks play in the last 3 years. They played like true Sharks!!
Very intense Almost got a headaches trying to keep up BUT Exciting and fun!
Sharks beat New Jersey Devils. Great Mother-Daughter & Mother-Daughter -in-law Night!!!
Just easy to use and just a great time taking the gf and daughter to the sharks game. Sucks that the sharks lost little one was upset.
First two periods were somewhat dull but Sharks came alive on third and the atmosphere rocketed immediately. Good game!
Always a great experience! All seats have a good view. Great audio visual system.
Good night for the Sharks, bad night for the Blackhawks!
It was an amazing night with my dad. Amazing atmosphere. Great music. Great food. Great time. The game I went to ha Jumbo and Burnzie wine glasses giveaway and they are amazing, I officially added them to my fine china. Haha. GO SHARKS
Loved visiting the SAP Center for the Sharks/Oilers game! The facility was great with plenty of food and beverage choices, and great site lines for the hockey action. For an older facility this arena still feels like a very modern feel to it. The only issue was parking - since I was visiting from out of town I pre-paid for parking and put the electronic pass in my apple wallet on my phone. There was absolutely no info, except the name of the lot, on where the parking lot was that I paid for, and not being from the local area I was clueless where to go. When I eventually did find the lot the name provided was no where to be seen - I basically got lucky! The game, atmosphere and arena were all exceptional though.
San Jose sharks hockey is always a fun thing to go see (whether its ur 1st or 100th game.) If you've never seen a NHL game live I definitely would recommend going and seeing how awesome it is for yourself
Everyone should get tickets for the BMW Lounge once. The food and drinks were amazing. An excellent addition to a wonderful venue. Go Sharks
