It seems only fitting the first goal in San Jose Sharks history came from a kid from Chula Vista, California. Okay, so being from the small town 466 miles away from the town Team Teal calls home isn’t quite the same as if Coxe had grown up in Livermore, but give me a break. In what was, and is, unquestionably a non-traditional market the Sharks got their first goal from a player with similar qualities.
First goal is at 5:44 if it doesn’t auto-play from the correct spot.
Known more for his fighting than his goal scoring, Coxe went on to score just once more with the Sharks and only played in 10 games with San Jose.
