Tyler Toffoli is happy to represent once again when the Sharks host their annual Pride Night on Saturday against the Minnesota Wild.
Toffoli told San Jose Hockey Now that he will, as he often does, use Pride tape on his stick during warmups.
“I know it’s a really big deal here, it’s really important, and something that my wife and I support,” Toffoli said of Pride Night.
Toffoli’s support goes beyond the tape.
“I’m down for whatever way,” Toffoli said.
Toffoli and his wife Cat showed that in August, when they walked in the Silicon Valley Pride Parade shortly after moving to the Bay Area.

“It was just one of those things that, when we got asked, my wife and I said yes immediately, and we had a great time,” Toffoli said. “It’s a great event, something that obviously is a really big, a really big deal here in San Jose and in California, in general.”
Tyler Toffoli is already making an impact in the San Jose community by marching in the Silicon Valley Pride Parade this past weekend 🏳🌈 👏
