SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The Sharks apologized for a message that was displayed on the video board that appeared to praise Immigration and Customs Enforcement on a night the team celebrated Hispanic heritage.
A message from a fan was shown on the video board during the first intermission of San Jose's game against Pittsburgh on Saturday night that read, "SJ SHARKS FANS/LOVE ICE !!/GET 'EM BOYZ !"
The Sharks issued an apology later in the game, saying "an offensively worded message which had been externally submitted was inadvertently displayed on the in-arena scoreboard."
