Patrick Marleau on Saturday had his number officially retired by the San Jose Sharks, the organization with which he made NHL history.
SAN JOSE – The large teal banner with a No. 12 on it began to be raised at 6:46 p.m. on Saturday. Watching from a short distance away, Patrick Marleau, already teary-eyed from a touching 30-minute speech, stood with his family as it was slowly lifted to the rafters at SAP Center.
Marleau, drafted second overall by the Sharks in 1997, retired as the most prolific forward in team history, as he finished with 1,111 points in 1,607 NHL games with the organization. His franchise-leading 522 goals are 167 more than anyone else in team history, and the 566 goals Marleau scored for his career put him 23rd on the NHL’s all-time list.“I don’t know that I truly have a favorite moment,” Marleau said before he took a moment to fight back tears.
“I really don’t know what I did to deserve someone like you,” Marleau said as he spoke to Christina. “You’ve seen me and my best, you’ve seen me at my worst, and you’ve loved and supported me through it all.” Patrick Marleau, former San Jose Sharks captain, hugs former teammate Joe Thornton during his No. 12 jersey retirement ceremony at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Saturday, Feb. 25, 2023.
