Sharks Finatical Kids Club | San Jose Sharks Youth Fan Club

GREETINGS FROM THE KIDS CLUB!

Hey Sharks Fans!

I can’t believe the season is already coming to an end—it really just flew by (or should I say… swam by?). From big-time goals to jaw-some moments at the Tank, I’ve had an absolute blast riding the wave with all of you. While it’s tough to sea the season end, there’s still plenty of hockey action making a splash!

I’m hooked on playoff hockey and can’t wait to see who reels in the Stanley Cup—there’s nothing better than that high-energy, edge-of-your-fin excitement! And don’t forget, I’m cheering loud and proud for the San Jose Barracuda as they make a splash chasing the Calder Cup. Let’s keep that momentum swimming strong!

Just because the season is wrapping up doesn’t mean I’m going into hibernation—I’ll be out and about all summer long! Keep your eyes peeled for me at local festivals, community events, and anywhere there’s fun in the sun. If you spot me, don’t be shy—come say hi and let’s make some waves together!

Ready to dive in and play? You don’t have to be a big fish (yet!) to get started. Make sure to check out “Give Ball Hockey a Try,” “Give Hockey a Try,” the Pro Women’s Hockey Summer Tour, and the Jr. Sharks House League. It’s your chance to get your fins moving and learn to play like the pros—no fishy business, just pure fun!

And hey—don’t forget about Mother’s Day! Make a splash by printing out our Mother’s Day cards and celebrate all the fintastic women in your life. Trust me, it’ll mean oceans to them.

Thanks for being such an incredible school of fans all season long. I’m so lucky to have you in my waters, and I can’t wait to see you this summer. Before you know it, we’ll be back and ready to make even bigger waves!

Stay jaw-some,
SJ Sharkie

Hi Kids Club Friends!

SJ Sharkie here, and WOW — what an incredible time we’ve been having together this season! I’ve loved celebrating our amazing Sharks with all of you through our special heritage and celebration games. The energy has been absolutely JAW-some!

Hey Kids Club Crew!

It’s time for a little Olympic break, but don’t worry—there’s still tons of fin-tastic hockey action swimming around the world! Some of our Sharks are diving into the Olympics to play for their home countries, and I couldn’t be more excited to cheer them on.

Make sure you keep an eye out for Macklin Celebrini, Alexander Wennberg, Philipp Kurashev, and Pavol Regenda as they skate on the biggest international stage. They’re ready to make waves and show everyone just how jaws-some Sharks hockey can be!

While they’re off making a splash, there’s still lots of Sharks fun swimming your way. Kids Club members should watch their inbox for a special email-only ticket offer to reel in great seats for an upcoming game. You can also join the action at our Try Ball Hockey event, where you’ll get to learn the game and show off your skills just like the pros!

And guess what? Valentine’s Day is also almost here! And my heart is going chomp-chomp! Print out our Valentine’s Day cards to share with your friends and spread some fin-tastic cheer.

So grab your jerseys, wave your fins, and let’s cheer our Sharks!

December

Hey there, Sharks fans!

It’s your favorite fin-tastic friend, SJ Sharkie, swimming by to say “HI”! The season has been a splash so far — full of energy, excitement, and plenty of reasons to keep our jaws dropped. Thanks for cheering loud enough to make waves all across the Tank!

When I’m not hyping up the crowd on game nights, I’m out and about visiting birthday parties, community events, and schools. Meeting fans of all ages is one of my favorite parts of my day—your smiles keep my fin wagging!

On December 1st, the Team celebrated a very special member of the Team, ME! Last summer I was inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame and was voted the 2025 NHL Mascot of the year. What a night it was!

I’m also proud to keep spreading positivity through our Reading Is Cool Program, inspiring kids to dive into books, use their imagination, and build strong reading habits. And of course, I’m continuing to champion kindness through our Anti-Bullying Program, reminding everyone that real Sharks stick together, support each other, and always choose respect.

Thanks for being part of this amazing Sharks community. Let’s keep the momentum going and make the rest of the season jaw-some! Also, keep an eye out for some special Kids Club events in the new year!

Bye bye for now! Chow!
SJ Shakie
