  • I love this podcast!!

    I think JD does an amazing job as the host of this podcast. He is entertaining and knowledgeable. His videos are always very well organized and comprehensive. I like how he presents all the information you need and want in a captivating way and gives his opinions but not in a ranting sort of way and he provides the perspectives of others too. He clearly does his research and I look forward to every video ! I watch other LockedOn podcasts for other sports teams I like but my favorite host is JD b... more

    I have been a Sharks fan for over 25 years and probably one of the few Sharks fans in Saskatchewan Canada. Great insights and an easy to listen to format. Love the show and thanks again!

  • Teal across the pond

    Before the Winter Olympics took my city by storm, I started planning to attend a hockey game and thought I should first learn the basics of a sport I knew nothing about.

    Last season was my first one, and while navigating the unknowns of the NHL, I somehow ended up becoming a Sharks fan. As an Italian fan of a Pacific Division team, time zones aren’t exactly on my side, so I’ve relied a lot on highlights and this podcast to grow both my fandom and my hockey knowledge.

    Now my morning commute is ... more

  • Go Sharks!

    I have been a Sharks fan for the last 20+ years. I’ve only recently started listening to podcasts. So far, I am really enjoying this one. I have been watching and liking your “shorts” on YouTube for quite some time. Thank you for your insight on the Sharks. Can’t wait to see what our boys in teal do this season. GO SHARKS!!

  • The ONLY Sharks podcast I listen to

    Listen, I’ve been watching the Sharks since October 4, 1991 and I wish JD had been covering them since then (even though I’m pretty sure he was conceived the same year as the Sharks) But seriously I’ve been listening to JD since 2020 and he is my only source of Sharks daily content. JD is smart, insightful and I low key think GMMG listens to the show and takes JD’s ideas. The Kesselring trade and drafting Ryan Lin all JD’s ideas. So do yourself a favor and subscribe to Locked on Sharks for al... more

Speedrunning The Offseason With Summoning Salt | Playoffs For 2026-27?
Q: What was your reaction to Macklin Celebrini's extension and the reported 18.8 million figure?
The guests agree it's a lot of money, but when you compare it to the cap trajectory and the big-picture goal of keeping a generational talent around, it's a reasonable investment that preserves room for other young players and signals a commitment to a winning window.
EXCEPTIONAL STATUS: San Jose Sharks’ Michael Misa OPENS UP on OHL & Rookie Season In NHL
Q: What does a typical development day look like in San Jose for you?
It starts with arriving at the rink, video work, some on-ice drills with Reach and the staff, then practicing, and finishing with a light meal and staying loose to keep sharp for the next session.
