The San Jose Sharks are a professional ice hockey team based in San Jose, California, founded in 1991 as an NHL expansion team. Playing at the SAP Center, nicknamed the Shark Tank, the club built a strong identity around teal colours, a shark logo and a famous pregame entrance through a giant shark head. Sounds linked to the team, especially the goal horn and crowd roar, circulate online as short clips for fan edits and reactions. They remain popular because the horn instantly signals hockey, home ice and a Sharks score.
