The San Jose Sharks will host Rookie Faceoff this year.

Visit moryak.biz for more information.

Per Mayor’s Manor, the 2026 Rookie Faceoff will be in San Jose this fall, and welcome the Sharks, Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Ducks, Vegas Golden Knights, Colorado Avalanche, and Utah Mammoth. This is double the size of the tournament the Sharks played in last year, where they faced just the Ducks and Kings in Irvine. The tournament should be hosted at Tech CU Arena.

“From what we’ve been able to gather, some teams only want to play two games,” Mayor’s Manor noted. “Yet, the Kings and Mammoth are confirmed to play three games each.”

The Sharks’ roster will consist of prospects not yet regulars in the NHL and not playing college hockey. The Sharks hold the No. 2 and No. 20 picks at the 2026 NHL Draft.
