After David Quinn officially became the San Jose Sharks coach on July 26, he began to reach out to several of the team’s players, including some individual face-to-face meetings in Canada with veterans like Logan Couture, Erik Karlsson, and Marc-Edouard Vlasic.
With regards to hockey, though, the real get-to-know-yous begin this week.
For the first time since 2015 when Pete DeBoer and company arrived, the Sharks are getting used to a completely new coaching staff, as Quinn, with assistants Scott Gordon, Brian Wiseman, and Ryan Warsofsky, start their first training camp together on Thursday at the team’s practice facility in San Jose.
