History
On January 6, 2006, the San Jose Sharks announced that they were moving their American Hockey League affiliate, the Cleveland Barons, to Worcester, Massachusetts. The Sharks played their first home game on October 14, 2006 in front of a sold-out 7,230 fans in a shootout loss to the Portland Pirates. The Sharks play their home games at the DCU Center in Downtown Worcester. The Sharks qualified for the postseason in their first season, but were knocked out in 6 games by the Manchester Monarchs in the first round. The Shark's main rival is the Providence Bruins.

Uniforms
The Sharks use the same jersey designs as San Jose, except with an inaugural season patch on the shoulder. The Sharks also have a third jersey, with the same template as San Jose's but with their alternate logo. Worcester debuted their third jersey on November 24 against the Springfield Falcons at home. This marked the start of "Black Fridays," a new tradition which the Sharks wear their third jerseys every Friday, home or away.
