Sharks Hockey is back! In this episode, Paul heads to Sharks Ice San Jose for exclusive interviews with forwards Adam Gaudette and Zack Ostapchuk.
We discuss their experience during the Olympic break, the “next man up” mentality in the Sharks’ locker room, and their individual development this season. Plus, we settle the score on Adam’s “Hockey Gaud” nickname and dive into a surprising conversation about Star Wars and tattoo culture.
On this episode:
* Adam Gaudette: Versatility on the ice, hearing “Oh my Gaudette” for the first time, and his deep love for Star Wars and Batman.
* Zack Ostapchuk: Stepping into a larger role with the Sharks, the transition from the Ottawa Senators, and his physical style of play.
* Olympic Buzz: Reactions to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina.
