Overview

• The scoreboard at SAP Center displayed “SJ SHARKS FANS LOVE ICE !! GET ’EM BOYZ !” during the first intermission of Saturday’s game against the Penguins.
• The incident occurred during the club’s ninth annual Los Tiburones Night, a celebration of the Bay Area’s Hispanic community.
• Boos were heard in the arena and videos of the message spread widely on social media, with some attendees describing the post as offensive.
• The organization apologized, said the message was submitted externally and slipped past its standard review process, and stated it is working to determine the origin.
• Team president Jonathan Becher condemned the lapse on X, and the sold-out game later ended in a 3-0 loss to Pittsburgh.
