SJHN Daily: Sharks’ Dad’s Trip Pics, Chernyshov Off to Quick Start
The San Jose Sharks’ dad’s trip ended with a thud in a 6-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken, but they had a good time before that in the Emerald City.
A tradition started by the Nashville Predators in the late 90’s, the dad’s trip has become one of the most valuable moments for players every season, as it allows them to spend time with their fathers, and show gratitude for their support for their careers.
During the trip, the players’ fathers travel with the team and spend a considerable amount of time around them. They’re essentially part of the team for the duration of the trip.
The Sharks started the trip with a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Jan. 27, before heading out to Seattle, where they had a nice dinner on Wednesday.
Every year, these trips lead to some touching moments, and this year was no exception.
