DeBoer shares how he found out about the Karlsson trade



It’s a good time to be a San Jose Sharks fan as the team is fresh off acquiring defenceman Erik Karlsson from the Ottawa Senators in a blockbuster deal.

With the start of the regular season a couple of weeks away, the Oakland Athletics invited out some of the players to be part of their annual Sharks Night and to throw out the ceremonial first pitch on Tuesday night.



Logan Couture, Martin Jones and Timo Meier were on hand to represent the Sharks and they were joined by former Shark Jonathan Cheechoo, who joined Couture in the throwing of the ceremonial first pitch.



Turn on your TV to the @Athletics game tonight and see my boy @Logancouture throw out a 89mph Heater 🔥🔥 first pitch. #downthemiddle #strike — Evander Kane (@evanderkane_9) September 19, 2018

As part of the special night the Sharks and the Athletics collaborated on some pretty sweet scarves, which sold out pretty quickly.

This past weekend we saw another similar NHL X MLB collaboration as members of the Anaheim Ducks were in attendance at the Los Angeles Angels game for the team’s annual Ducks Night.
