San Jose Jr. Sharks: Successful Seasons

This season, all levels of the Sharks organization made the playoffs: the San Jose Sharks, San Jose Barracuda, and Allen Americans. But the professional level wasn't where the postseason success stopped.
The San Jose Jr. Sharks and Oakland Bears both saw their youth hockey teams succeed in their own playoffs, including bringing home championships to the Bay Area.
