NHL and the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) collaboratively started celebrating HFC in 1998. It has continued to date. HFC brings the hockey community together to support cancer patients and their families. 

November is celebrated as Hockey Fights Cancer Month across the league. Each of the teams celebrates HFC Night during their home games.

Donations are made through the HFC campaign for lodging, transportation, and other services for cancer patients in the United States and Canada.

The previous season, the Sharks hosted the Detroit Red Wings at their home during the HFC Night. The players wore lavender jerseys which were later auctioned off along with select hockey sticks to raise the fund.

The Sharks lost that match 4-7 against the Red Wings. However, it is a great feeling to see even the biggest hockey rivals coming together to fight against cancer.

San Jose Sharks are all set to celebrate the Pride Night event on January 27, 2024. They will play against the Buffalo Sabres at the SAP Center.

The club hosted the New York Islanders during the event happened on 2022-23 season.

It began with a special scrimmage between the Sharks front office staff members and the San Francisco Earthquakes LGBTQ+ Adult Hockey Team on March 13.

On March 18, the players wore specialty jerseys during warmups designed by Houyee Chow.

The jerseys were auctioned off following the game. Pride-themed nameplates were featured in each player stall and pride tape was used on player sticks.

The NHL started celebrating Pride Nights to raise the visibility and acceptance of LGBTQ+ people and every NHL team hosted the event in the past.

In the last season, many of those plans were canceled by the NHL teams after being made public.

Some of the other NHL players including the Flyers player Ivan Provorov opted out of participating in warmups with his teammates for the Pride Night event last season.

Furthermore, the Chicago Blackhawks, Minnesota Wild, and the New York Rangers opted not to wear Pride jerseys during warmups.

After the refusal of these players and teams to wear Pride jerseys, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said that he has advised NHL franchises to stop wearing specialty-themed jerseys.

This decision of the NHL to ban the Pride-themed jerseys during the games was criticized by many. 

It was decided to halt the Pride Night events beginning the 2023-24 season. Interestingly, it is back on the schedule of the NHL franchises.

Celebration of Black History is happening on Thursday, 29 February 2024. at SAP center. The Sharks will play against the Anaheim Ducks.

If we look at the old calendar of the Sharks, they had held the Black History Night on February 18, 2023, with a match against the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres had a 4-2 victory over the Sabres at SAP Center.

Each NHL franchise celebrates the event honoring the contributions and stories of Black trailblazers in hockey. 

February is celebrated as Black History Month in the NHL. The league shows an appreciation for the contributions that black men and women have made to hockey.

Usually, the players wear specially designed jerseys during warmups to celebrate the event. The jerseys are then auctioned off after the game.

Sharks collect funds and donate for education, anti-racism work, honoring important people and events in black history, support services, etc.

NHL and NHLPA collectively celebrated Black History Night in February 2019 shifting their focus from the "Hockey Is For Everyone" campaign.

Sharks Fan Appreciation Night will be happening on April 13, 2024, concluding their season-final home game. They will play against the Minnesota Wild.
