The history of this professional ice hockey team is one of many ups and downs that many of us who watch them on our Satellite TV just didn’t know about.

It all started in 1967 at the Oakland Coliseum Arena. This arena was home to the Californian Golden Seals, another amazing hockey team. However, in 1974, Gordon and George Gund III became minority owners and the Seals were plucked from the west coast and taken to Cleveland. It was Gund’s hope that he could bring good professional hockey back to the Bay Area and, through the merger, had hoped to get the Minnesota North Stars.

The initial deal did not pan out as he had hoped and it would be almost 25 years before his dream was realized. In 1990, Gund sold what shares he had of the North Stars and washed his hands of that dream in exchange for the chance to develop a new team of his own in the Bay Area. Eventually the name “Sharks” stuck and, ever since, they have performed swiftly and fearlessly on the ice – just like a shark.

As a non-profit organization supporting their hockey team and consisting of all-time hockey enthusiasts, they promote the sport of hockey in their area. Through social gatherings, travel opportunities, community outreach, and activiites for its members, they are actively involved in spreading the message about hockey. The club should embrace the North American Booster Club’s code of ethics, strongly encouraged to be adopted in some form by any extracurricular program that considers itself a booster club. For example, personal business should not be promoted by members except to promote booster sales and even then should only take place on a limited basis upon approval. Club funds can never be used for private use; their sole purpose is to benefit the San Jose Sharks. It is not the place of booster club members to represent the team or club to the media. Slanderous remarks or harrassment will not be tolerated toward club members, team members, or fans of the sport at events. In addition, members can be denied access to the club for inappropriate or disruptive behavior at events.
