""This is my favorite event I'm involved in. I mean, I don't love being a ref, but it's a very special event for everyone," he said. "I think sometimes we get lost in what we do in our day-to-day. We have to give back as role models and mentors. Its important for the San Jose Sharks and the community of San Jose to give back.""
"The Sharks joined the athletes on the court to play a full three-period game that ended 9-6 in favor of the black team. It was an energetic game that started 3-0 for Team White, but their opponents tied it up. Team Black athletes were relentless, with key saves made by all goaltenders, and highlights from players like Aaron Samuels, who scored a good third of the goals. They were able to shift the score to a solid 5-6."
