San Jose Sharks
United States – NHL Hockey Team
Based in San Jose, California, the San Jose Sharks compete in the Pacific Division of the National Hockey League and are defined by their iconic Pacific Teal identity and history of fast-paced, physical hockey. A consistent playoff presence throughout much of the 2000s and 2010s, the Sharks reached the Stanley Cup Final in 2016 and established themselves as one of the league’s most competitive franchises during that era. Today, the organization is focused on developing its next generation through high draft selections, prospect development, and a renewed emphasis on long-term roster building to shape the next era of success in Northern California.

The "Teal" nickname is a direct tribute to the team's iconic primary color, Pacific Teal, which was chosen at the franchise's inception to represent the waters of the Pacific Ocean and created a global fashion trend that accounted for over a quarter of all NHL merchandise sales in the early 90s.
While the franchise is still chasing its first Stanley Cup, their trophy room features a 2016 Western Conference Championship and the 2009 Presidents' Trophy, alongside six Pacific Division titles earned during one of the most consistent runs of postseason appearances in modern sports history.
The team's mascot, S.J. Sharkie, is famous for his high-flying stunts. In 1999, he famously got stuck while rappelling from the rafters before a game. He dangled 40 feet above the ice for the entire pre-game ceremony and the national anthem while crews worked to get him down—he never broke character once!
