Before this article starts, from us at Blades of Teal and the rest of the San Jose Sharks community we’d just like to mention that to all those affected by the shooting, we are sorry for your loss, and our hearts and thoughts go out to you.
Sports throughout history has been an outlet to force people to come together, to understand each other, and set aside our differences. For the city of San Jose and its surrounding areas the Sharks have been that outlet.
There is a sense of pride in being a San Josean, and there is a sense of pride in our communities of the Sharks.
