The San Jose Sharks play hockey in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League. The franchise was formed in 1991. After an Oakland team was fielded in 1967, but failed to succeed financially, many worked hard to bring hockey back to the Bay Area. The San Jose Sharks were one of the worst teams in the league for their first two seasons, a common theme for expansion teams. In 1993, however they managed one of the biggest turnarounds in NHL history, making it to the second round and beating Cup favorites, the Detroit Red Wings. The San Jose Sharks have improved nearly every year, reaching the conference finals in 2006. The current team is both one of the youngest and largest in average size in the NHL.
