The San Jose Sharks are changing their goal song again.
After going with “Power Bite” by Bvrnout last season, the team is moving on and will debut a new track on Oct. 1. The switch comes after fan complaints about the song.
For almost 10 years before that, San Jose had used “Get Ready For This” by 2 Unlimited.
The Sharks asked fans to vote on four choices ahead of last season, but the rollout drew criticism from the start, including allegations of AI use.
“Power Bite” will make its final appearances during San Jose’s two preseason home games on Sept. 22 and 24.
The new song will be heard when the Sharks open the season on Oct. 1.
Elsewhere in Sharks roster news, the team trimmed its group by sending three draft picks to their minor league hockey teams. Forward Jake Gustafson was assigned to the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL, Alexander Karmanov went to the North Bay Battalion of the OHL, and Brady Knowling was sent to the Saginaw Spirit of the OHL.
Day One of San Jose Barracuda Training Camp has also begun.
Around the organization, the Sharks remain the last NHL team without a jersey sponsor.
There’s also a fresh projection for the year that points to defense and goaltending question marks.
Brodie Brazil also spoke with E.J. Hradek of NHL Network.
At San Jose Hockey Now, Jack Han took a first look at the Sharks’ power play. Sheng Peng shared his thoughts from the first part of Training Camp, including how Ivar Stenberg, Michael Misa, Luca Cagnoni, and others are looking. Peng also wrote about Macklin Celebrini and what he wants to improve, along with the new excitement around the Sharks.
Ryan Warsofsky signed a contract extension, and Peng also weighed in on Will Smith’s contract extension and Celebrini’s captaincy.
Other camp notes included what to take away from the Sharks’ opening preseason loss, Sam Dickinson learning from Jacob Trouba, and Quentin Musty and Cam Lund beginning Training Camp with significant injuries.
The team also posted on social media about another week of Training Camp and shared a summer update centered on family time and golf.

Sharks Prospect Eric Pohlkamp Is Forcing A Bigger Conversation
Eric Pohlkamp spent the 2025-26 season turning himself into a much more interesting name in the Sharks system. Drafted 132nd overall in 2023, the University of Denver defenseman made a big development jump, producing 39 points in 43 games while helping drive the Pioneers to an NCAA title. His strong shot and physical style have long been part of the appeal, but this was the year he started to look like more than just a project.
Pohlkamps rise has also created a more complicated conversation for San Jose, because the raw offense is now hard to ignore even as questions remain about how his game will translate against pro competition. He was a Hobey Baker Award finalist in 2026, and his next step only adds to the anticipation around him after he signed his professional contract following Denvers championship run. The upside is obvious enough, but the Sharks still have to sort out how much of it will carry once the pace gets faster and the defensive assignments get heavier. [Read more 🡒]
Sharks Lineup Choice Just Raised The Stakes For Opening Week
The Sharks are treating their second exhibition game like something closer to a dry run for opening week, and that is a pretty clear sign of where the roster conversation stands right now. San Jose is dressing a more NHL-caliber lineup against the Vegas Golden Knights, mixing veterans with several top prospects who are expected to be in the mix when the games start counting for real.
One of the more interesting parts of the night is the stage it gives the young talent, especially with the home crowd getting its first look at a notable newcomer in the building. The bigger picture is in goal, where the Sharks are leaning toward a familiar name for a key preseason assignment, a choice that only adds to the sense that these exhibition lineups are being used to sort out much more than just October reps.

Sharks Rebuild Suddenly Faces A Huge Question In Goal
Connor Hellebuycks future has become one of the leagues more intriguing trade watches, and the ripple effect reaches well beyond Winnipeg. With the veteran goalie expected to move before the 2026-27 season begins, plenty of teams have been floated as possible destinations, but the conversation matters in San Jose because the Sharks are still searching for stability in goal as they try to move their rebuild forward. They have the cap room and the sort of assets that make them worth considering in a deal of this magnitude.
Jamie McLennan was among the analysts who identified the Sharks as a possible landing spot, which is the kind of suggestion that forces a rebuilding club to think a little bigger than usual. Hellebuycks down season in 2025-26 has added another layer to the debate, even as his contract remains a major obstacle for any team weighing a move. For San Jose, the question is not just whether the fit makes sense, but whether a bold swing in net is the kind of step that changes the timeline of the rebuild. [Read more 🡒]
