San Jose Sharks to raise banner for former captain and general manager Doug Wilson
The San Jose Sharks announced on Friday afternoon that they will raise a banner for former player, captain, and general manager Doug Wilson in the 2022-23 season.
The Sharks will honour Wilson with a special recognition ceremony before their October 15th game against the Chicago Blackhawks, the other team that Wilson spent his playing career with. The ceremony will include a banner raising, although a number retirement was not mentioned in the announcement. “Doug Wilson’s imprint on this franchise is unmistakable – on and off the ice,” said Sharks President Jonathan Becher in the team’s announcement. “As the new expansion team’s first captain in 1991, he set a standard and helped build a foundation that would allow the team to quickly morph into one of the League’s most inspiring and successful teams.
Wilson spent 16 seasons in the NHL, 14 with the Blackhawks and his final two with the Sharks after he was dealt to the team before their inaugural season in 1991-92, and also became their first captain in franchise history. He played 1,024 games over the course of his career, with 237 goals, 590 assists, and 827 points, including 86 games, 12 goals, 36 assists, and 48 points with the Sharks.
Wilson stepped aside from the role on medical leave on November 26, 2021, and officially resigned on April 7, 2022, with another former Shark in Mike Grier replacing him.
