In celebration of the San Jose Sharks 25th anniversary, we’re going to revisit the Cow Palace days where the team made their NHL debut and proudly displayed the newly re-released Heritage Jersey.
Before the San Jose Arena was built, the Sharks played two seasons at the Cow Palace in Daly City, just outside San Francisco. The arena seats almost 13,000 spectators (though this number is more like 11,000 for hockey games) and has stood tall since 1941.
The Sharks weren’t the first hockey team to play at the Cow Palace and they wouldn’t be the last.
