“On March 12, 1999, S.J. Sharkie was involved an incident during the pre-game festivities for that evening’s Sharks vs. Red Wings game. During an attempted rappel from the rafters of HP Pavilion at San Jose, Sharkie’s jersey became entangled in the rope and rappel equipment, leaving Sharkie hanging approximately 40 feet above the ice. Sharkie remained there while the starting lineups were announced and during the singing of the national anthem. The beginning of the game was delayed 20 minutes while crews worked to rescue him. He was eventually hoisted upward to a catwalk using a secondary rope.”

But, there are some things we will all sit down and have to get better [at]. We don’t believe in excuses and avoidance, and there are some things that are quite apparent that have to be fixed for us to be successful.”
