On March 16, the Sharks showcased their support of Special Olympics Northern California by holding their 6th annual Floor Hockey Game, providing a unique Sharks-themed experience to local Special Olympics athletes. Sharks players Tyler Toffoli, Collin Graf, Barclay Goodrow, Ty Dellandrea, Alexander Wennberg, and Mario Ferraro, as well as broadcasters Randy Hahn, Dan Rusanowsky, and Drew Remenda, all participated in the event, while Sharks Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky refereed the game.

Brian Wiseman and Cody Ward served as assistant coaches for Team Black while Doug Houda and Jeff Ulmer were the assistant coaches for Team White. Athletes participated in an authentic experience which included entering through an inflatable shark head, wearing custom jerseys, and having S.J. Sharkie cheer them on. The event, which was presented by Kaiser Permanente, took place at Santa Clara High School and hosted 34 athletes and nearly 200 spectators.

On Sunday, January 26th, Luke Kunin and the Sharks Foundation hosted a party at Sharks Ice for Breakthrough T1D Northern California families impacted by juvenile Type 1 Diabetes.

During the 2024-25 season, Luke and the Sharks Foundation hosted 27 families impacted by juvenile Type 1 Diabetes at Sharks games. This party was another opportunity for Luke to connect with these families and share his story. To learn more about Luke’s work with Breakthrough T1D read the article!

The Sharks Community team was proud to host the 3rd annual Pride Scrimmage at SAP Center last month. Team Trans, S.F. Earthquakes and Team Teal, formed by members of the Sharks front office, played in a round robin on the ice. Special guests, Jonathan Becher, Michael Mulcahy, and S.J. Sharkie joined us for the evening with Sharks alumnus Scott Hannan jumping in to coach our visiting teams. During the celebratory night, the Queer Chorus of San Francisco performed, and each participating team received a Pride Jersey autographed by the 2024-25 San Jose Sharks. Following the completion of the Pride Scrimmage, the San Jose Sharks returned to the tank the next night for Pride Night, complete with a pride themed beanie giveaway, and Kieran Flaherty of the S.F. Earthquakes dropped the ceremonial puck during the game.
