Tyler Toffoli, a veteran winger, expresses emotional support for those affected by the LA wildfires as the San Jose Sharks host a First Responders Group Night. Proceeds from ticket sales and donations during the game against the Nashville Predators will benefit organizations like the San Jose Firefighters Burn Foundation. The Sharks are taking multiple initiatives including an auction of themed jerseys, with all net proceeds going to the firefighters' foundation, showing community solidarity during this challenging time.
It's definitely an emotional time, said Toffoli, who spent the first seven-plus seasons of his NHL career with the Los Angeles Kings. I know my wife (Cat) has been on top of that, and she's emotional about it, too.
(Seeing the support), it's an amazing thing.
Fans entering SAP Center Thursday night can deposit cash contributions into firefighter boots collected by volunteers or scan a QR code to donate digitally.
The auction continues through Friday at noon. Net proceeds benefit the San Jose Fire Fighters Burn Foundation.
