<td class="bodytext" align="left" valign="top">The San Jose Sharks played their first NHL game the 1991-92 season. A new franchise, San Jose was randomly selected from proposals by nearly every state and province in North America. Names for the team included a multitude of proposals, including the Blades, Breakers, Breeze, Condors, Fog, Gold, Golden Gaters, Golden Skaters, Grizzlies, Icebreakers, Knights, Redwoods, Sea Lions, Sharks and Waves.<BR>
The San Jose Sharks were eventually chosen because of the high number of sharks in the Pacific Ocean, and their fearless and determined nature, and ferocity, of course.<BR>
In there second season the team lost a record 71 games but boldly claimed the next season would by about the Stanley Cup. And it was. While the team didn’t go all the way, they quickly proved themselves as real contenders in the NHL. <BR>
