When Devin Cooley was five years old he fell in love with the position of hockey goaltender. Years later, he's become the first San Jose Sharks player who started out playing for the Junior Sharks, then the AHL Barracuda, and now with the NHL's Sharks.
In a season where the San Jose Sharks could make history for futility due to the team’s low win total, there’s a glimmer of hope and another type of history sitting between the goal pipes at a recent practice at Sharks Ice in San Jose ."It’s crazy. Like since I’ve been traded, this whole thing has felt a little bit like a dream. It’s a dream come true, but it still doesn’t feel real," said Devin Cooley.
Over the year’s Devin’s skill grew as he won championships with the Junior Sharks, then a Triple-A team in high school, and a scholarship to the University of Denver."A once-in-lifetime opportunity to go play pro, or play college and then consider playing pro? So we’d support anything that he wanted," said Heynia.Cooley was signed by the Nashville Predators as an undrafted free agent in 2020. After three seasons, he was then signed by Buffalo last July as a free-agent.
