100 Things Sharks Fans Should Know and Do Before They Die

by Ross McKeon

Most San Jose Sharks fans have attended a game at SAP Center and remember where they were when the team played its first game in 1991. But only real fans know all three of the team's entrance songs or which name actually came in first place during the franchise's "name the team" contest. This book is the ultimate resource for true fans of San Jose hockey. Whether you're a die-hard fan from the days of Owen Nolan or a new supporter of Joe Pavelski, this book contains everything Sharks fans should know, see, and do.

When I bought this book from a library bookstore I thought it would be random trivia about the team, but it's more of a memoir with some facts and stats surrounding it
A little disappointing with the title, but I actually grew to like it and appreciate the story

I had so much fun reading this.
As a new sharks fan this helped me a lot to learn about the organisation's history. It's a recollection of stories and anecdotes going from the birth of the team, their star players and coaches and those who weren't what was expected, the franchise's best moments and their worst, and everyone who is or has been involved in making the San Jose Sharks what they are nowadays. You can tell the writer and the people who collaborated with him actually love being part of the organisation.
The best part was realising they've always been a rather quirky team.
My only complaint is that the facts are not in chronological order.
(I'm dying to make a presentation of sorts for myself with the info in the book plus more pictures and videos)

This book was an extremely fun read because I lived it! I've been a hockey fan my whole life and a Sharks fan since that first night in 1991! I loved reading about all the "old" guys. It brought back a lot of wonderful memories. Thank you for writing this book. A must read for any Sharks fan!

A look at the history of the San Jose Sharks from their beginning at the Cow Palace. Tells how certain traditions came about.

I love learning about my favourite team, however some things kept getting repeated

It was all right. Sharks fans devoted enough to buy such a book probably know most of the stories already, and there's very few things in the "should do" section of the book. Meant more to be thumbed through than read straight through, as there is quite a bit of information overlap in the various chapters.
