San Jose’s beloved hockey squad is about to get really comfortable in their current digs. The Sharks and the city have just shaken hands on a mega lease deal that’ll keep them skating at SAP Center for another quarter-century. Talk about long-term commitment!

A Hometown Love Story

Mayor Matt Mahan and Sharks Sports and Entertainment President Jonathan Becher basically sealed the deal with what we can only imagine was an epic bro-hug, complete with team mascot Sharkie photobombing the moment. These local legends are proving that sometimes, true love means staying put and investing in your hometown.

What This Means for Bay Area Hockey Fans

For all you puck-loving millennials and Gen Z sports enthusiasts, this means you can continue to watch the Sharks dominate the ice without worrying about them packing up and leaving town. No more anxiety about potential relocation drama - just pure, uninterrupted hockey action right in the heart of Silicon Valley.

The Fine Print

While the exact details are still being finalized, one thing’s crystal clear: San Jose is keeping its NHL team planted firmly in its home base. This deal isn’t just about hockey - it’s about community, local pride, and keeping Bay Area sports culture alive and kicking.
