The San Jose Sharks will shine the spotlight on the most important part of the organization—the fans—during the final regular season home game on Saturday, April 11, when the Sharks take on the Vancouver Canucks at SAP Center. The “Fan Appreciation Game,” presented by SAP, will be a celebration of the passion, loyalty, and energy that Sharks fans bring to the Tank all season long.
From the moment fans enter the building, the night will be filled with surprises and unforgettable moments. All attendees will receive one of two limited-edition reusable cooler bags—teal or orange. Fans can visit the South Bar on the concourse to swap for the alternate color, but they’ll want to check inside first—many bags will contain exclusive prizes as a special thank you.
To celebrate the Sharks 35th anniversary, 100 lucky fans will discover a $35 voucher redeemable at any concourse food and beverage location or the Sharks Pro Shop. An additional 300 fans will receive a $50 voucher redeemable at any concourse food and beverage location or the Sharks Pro Shop courtesy of SAP. Ten lucky fans will uncover premium prize vouchers for autographed jerseys, pucks, or mini helmets presented by Ticketmaster.
The excitement continues throughout the game with in-game surprises, including lucky sections, rows, and individual fan giveaways featuring exclusive prizes presented by Sharks partners: Arteaga’s, Bibo’s NY Pizza, Coors Light, CordeValle, Corona, Hilton San Jose, KALA Red Light Therapy, NBC Sports California, Nirvana Soul, Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, SAP, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Sony, Southwest, Ticketmaster, and Toyota.
Fans will enjoy a soundtrack of their favorite songs from throughout the season, with the game brought to life by the voice of the Sharks, Danny Miller, alongside fan-favorite in-arena host Emily Harlan. And if fans spot Sharkie roaming the concourse, they can score a coveted “Sharkie’s #1 Fan” button (while supplies last).
The Sharks will also welcome Will Stephens of “Trailer Park Sports Network” to his first game at the Tank. Since becoming a fan in March of last year, Will has emerged as one of the team’s most passionate and vocal supporters online, rallying the Sharks community and building a strong following along the way. His infectious energy and hype-filled content have made him a standout advocate for the franchise.
As part of the organization’s Teal Reimagination, one lucky fan will win a reimagined suite experience for the 2026–27 season, while a lucky row will receive tickets to next season’s exclusive Penthouse Lounge. Another lucky fan will win a 12 pack of public skate admission passes to one of the three Sharks Ice locations throughout the Bay to cool off for a skate this summer! Additional giveaways will include tickets to some of the biggest shows coming to SAP Center this summer including Shakira, Benson Boone, Nate Bargatze, WWE and more.
Following the game, select fans will experience one of the Sharks most cherished traditions, as players present their game-worn jerseys directly to fans on the ice, a memorable and emotional sendoff to the last road trip of the regular season. Additionally, 300 fans will be chosen throughout the night to attend a special postgame party to celebrate the team before they head out for their final road games.
On the broadcast, Sharks fans can tune in as Jon Gustafson joins Alan Hoshida and Ted Ramey to discuss the Teal Reimagination and share updates and previews of new designs coming to SAP Center, so if you’re not at the SAP Center for the game, be sure to tune in to learn more.
The Fan Appreciation Game presented by SAP, promises to be a heartfelt and high-energy celebration, as the Sharks and SAP Center thank the best fans in the NHL for their unwavering support of Sharks Territory.
