San Jose native, but relatively new hockey fan. Was briefly following the Sharks in their 3rd season when they made the Playoffs for their first time. Became re-interested in them halfway through 05-06 season when they traded with Boston for Jumbo. Have been following them religiously ever since. I started collecting Sharks memorabilia and attended many Sharks signings in the 08-09 season, and started collecting sports cards at the beginning of the 09-10 season. My card collection has grown to over 150 Sharks cards, however I don't really collect much from pre 07-08. As silly as it may sound, it's because I don't really care for the old Sharks logo, and I'm more a fan of the current roster of players. I am not a season ticket holder, but I do try to make a handful of games if it's in the funds. Otherwise you'll find me glued to CSN or listening to KFOX while driving home. 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs Round 2 Game 5 against Detroit I believe was the first ever Playoff game I've ever attended. It was EPIC!!! My favorite player is Devin Setoguchi, because he's half Asian like me and his jersey number is the same as my birthday. Some of my favorite pieces of memorabilia:

SJ Sharkie Ltd. Edition of 1,000/ Mini Bobblehead Set (was only available at parties that Sharkie was hired for)

Autographed Setoguchi puck and photo framed by Sports Gallery.
Autographed and framed photo of Joe Thornton by Sports Gallery.
Autographed Joe Pavelski 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics puck.
Autographed Devin Setoguchi Reebok EDGE Authentic Black Armor Jersey customized by the jersey shop at The Tank. (and yes I wear this to every game I attend)
Autographed Dan Boyle puck from a SIMS Recycling Event at the Tank.
Autographed Jeremy Roenick puck.
