Overview
- The San Jose Sharks announced on Thursday, Sept. 17, that they signed head coach Ryan Warsofsky to a multi-year extension, posting the news on the team’s official channels.
- The club followed its policy of withholding contract length and financial terms, so the exact deal details were not disclosed.
- Warsofsky’s Sharks improved by 34 points from the prior season, finished 39-35-8, and ended the year four points shy of a playoff berth.
- The team credited Warsofsky’s track record coaching in the ECHL and AHL, plus his 2025 World Championship gold with Team USA, with helping accelerate development of prospects such as Macklin Celebrini.
- General manager Mike Grier said the timing was intended to provide stability and let Warsofsky focus on on-ice work, a move that raises expectations for continued player development and a push for the postseason after a long rebuild.
