0kaz sharks lb

introducing the san jose sharks class of 2026 !!!

like for the first time in history beta and omega captains outnumber alpha captains. there are more omega captains than ever before

alphas get endless shit for taking stupid penalties. they are stereotyped as muscleheads but at the same time everyone expects them to stand up for their teammates especially for omegas. if an alpha doesnt answer a hit or defend a teammate, they are criticized just as much. there are entire fan debates about this

if an omega or beta captain is quiet or more of a lead by example type, they are usually criticized much more harshly than an alpha captain with the exact same leadership style

most players only take the mandatory amount of suppressants because a lot of them think higher doses make them feel numb

relationships between teammates are still considered taboo. if you are not planning to marry or mate them, you keep it quiet because everyone worries it will affect team dynamics. omegas get the worst of it, so many dont bother making relationships public. alpha/omega relationships are especially controversial because people assume they will be possessive

using filthy language toward an omega on the ice is basically the equivalent of going after a goalie. the entire opposing team is going to be on your ass immediately. players can get suspended if refs or cameras catch it. most of the time they dont...

betas are generally the most well-liked by fans because they are seen as more emotionally mature and less dramatic than alphas or omegas. but the players people become obsessed with are usually alphas or omegas

Since there won’t be any additions to the roster until after the draft on the 17th, here are the first 10 players and their 25-26 season stats.

Stats are mostly sourced from the pwhl website, eliteprospects, or hockeystats. Jersey numbers are what they wore with their previous team. Edit: found a site (slotwork) that has ATOI!
