While the San Jose Sharks are in Europe for the 2022 NHL Global Series, the work doesn’t end at home. The club’s American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda, are just now starting their training camp in preparation for their preseason, which starts tomorrow, Oct. 7, in Bakersfield, California.
The team identity was one of the first things established during development camp, constructed to create cohesion between the pair of clubs.
“Same as the Sharks: hard-working, competitive, hard to play against — I think those are the three biggest things. We want other teams to know when they’re playing the Barracuda, as do the Sharks as well,” said Barracuda head coach John McCarthy following the start of development camp.
