History

Historical Context

The San Jose Sharks were established as an NHL franchise in 1990, marking the league's first expansion into the Bay Area since the California Golden Seals' departure in 1976. Despite a challenging start, including a record 71 losses in the 1992-93 season, the Sharks have since become a competitive team, though they currently face struggles with a winless start at 0-5 in the 2023-24 season.
