Some San Jose Barracuda games are coming to cable television this season.
For the first time in the team’s 10-year history, the Barracuda, the AHL affiliate of the San Jose Sharks, will have three of their regular season games televised by NBC Sports California.
All three of the games will be televised from Tech CU Arena in San Jose, the Barracuda’s home rink that opened last year and is adjacent to Sharks Ice.
NBC Sports California will show Barracuda games on Dec. 9, Jan. 9, and Jan. 26 against Henderson, Ontario and Calgary, respectively. The Jan. 9 will immediately follow the Sharks’ game in Toronto against the Maple Leafs game, which starts at 4 p.m. (PT).
“We’re extremely excited to be able to partner with NBC Sports California for three games this season,” said Barracuda Vice President, Frank Torres. “When you think of sports in the Bay Area on TV, NBC Sports California is the first network that comes to mind. We can’t wait to show off our strong group of young prospects, Tech CU Arena, and the Barracuda brand to the entire region.”
NBC Sports California subscribers can also access these three games live on the NBC Sports app or the NBC Sports California website (nbcsportsbayarea.com). All Barracuda regular season and playoff games also air on the Barracuda Channel on the Sharks app and at sjbarracuda.com/listen.
Barracuda games can also be streamed at ahltv.com for a fee.
San Jose is hosting the 2024 AHL All-Star Classic at Tech CU Arena from Feb. 4-5.
Sharks draft picks on the Barracuda roster right now include forwards Tristen Robins, Ethan Cardwell, Adam Raska, Brandon Coe, Danil Gushchin, and Ozzy Wiesblatt. Other prospects include defensemen Shakir Mukhamadullin, Gannon Laroque, and Artem Guryev, and goalies Eetu Makiniemi and Magnus Chrona.
