Last year the spotlight was on San Jose as the first big major event to be held at Tech CU Arena took place as the AHL held its all star weekend at the Bay Area and it was a spectacular event that showed just how far San Jose has come since the Barracuda's arrival

I am literally speechless as I had no idea that our beloved SJ Sharkie was once again up for consideration for being inducted to the Mascot Hall of Fame never mind him actually being voted into the 2025 Class

I am over the moon for him as Sharkie is the most hardest working fish in all of sport and it was about time he got the recognition he deserves and I think the Sharks organisation needs to celebrate big style

Here's how I found out the news - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4k_zM2fhjQHere's Sharkie being revealed on Good Morning America - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjvtxTqplgURead the article here - https://www.nhl.com/sharks/news/s-j-sharkie-named-to-the-mascot-hall-of-fame

Ut's an emotional epiosde of Teal Report as for one last time I give my thoughts and opinions on the San Jose Sharks as the final month of the regular season saw us taking on teams who all had playoff implications on the line

Speaking of playoffs we preview the first round for the Western Conference and make that bold prediction for who will represent us in the Finals this June

The final trip to Cuda Corner sees us recap a month where playoff hockey would officially return to the Bay Area for the first time in six years as the Barracuda clinched their spot in the Calder Cup Playoffs

On March 3 2023 I finally got to attend y first ever San Jose Barracuda game during their first season at Tech CU Arena and it was more than I could ever imagined as not only did I get to see a win but I also met a very special someone

After sharing The Tank with their big brothers for seven years the time had finally come for the grand opening of Tech CU Arena and for the Barracuda to have their own place to call home

It was an exteremely emotional night as the Henderson Silver Knights had the honour of being the first victims to fall to the Deep

With Wicked Part 2 coming out later this year I couldn't resist the title while I still can as the San Jose Sharks had one of their massive homestands to date which saw them take down multiple Original Six teams and denting playoff hopes for some

Over in Cuda Corner things get tight in the division as the Barracuda remain very much in the hunt to clinch that first playoff berth since 2019

Also this month we recap everything that happened in the week of the Trade Deadline which provide a lot of shocks which I'm pleased to say this year did not come from Teal Town

Thanks to the 4 Nations this month's episode is going to feel a little different than usual...

First up we go through all of the month's fixtures as the Sharks faced off against most of the canadian teams with very mixed results and fortunes

After that we will head over to Cuda Corner whjch saw a lack of form from the team as some silly mistakes cost dearly as the Barracuda are still in the mix for the playoffs but only just

After seven incredible years I have made the very difficult decision to bring the Teal Report podcast to a close at the end of our current season

This was not an easy decision and was not made lightly but I feel that I have achieved all I want to do from this show and with my hockey priorities changing the time has come to move on

I am going to miss this show so much and would like to thank all of you for listening over the years as I couldn't have done it without you
