Summary
Jake Gustafson, a 6-foot-4 forward drafted 174th by the San Jose Sharks, is thrilled to be returning home to play for the team he’s cheered for since childhood. Son of SAP Center VP Jon Gustafson, Jake’s dream is now a reality — and he’s proud to be following in his dad’s footsteps. Drafted after a standout season with the Portland Winterhawks, he’ll begin NCAA play at Colorado College in 2027-28. The emotional moment of being drafted — his dad bringing the news while he waited outside — left him speechless. Known for his gritty, hard-nosed style and strong skating, Jake recalls a thrilling Game Seven against Vegas as his favorite Sharks memory. Growing up, he and his brother battled fiercely on the ice, sparking his love for the game — and even tried goalie once, until a puck to the head made him rethink his position. With Scott Hannan leading the Jr. Sharks program’s push to develop local talent, Jake believes young players can thrive right here in the Bay Area.
