The San Jose Sharks? Forget about San Jose, these are the Scottsdale Sharks. Jokes aside, the Sharks started the 2021 season in a different city. In December an announcement stated, “The San Jose Sharks will open training camp and start the regular season in Arizona”.
The move to Arizona is due to the enhanced COVID-19 guidelines for professional, collegiate and youth sports in Santa Clara County, California. The guidelines have also displaced the San Francisco 49ers, who also happened to finish the regular season playing their home games in Arizona.
It has been a long time since we have seen the Sharks in an NHL game.
