Looks like Laila Edwards and the rest of the PWHL San Jose team are already familiarizing themselves with the SAP Center.
The Olympic gold medalist was joined by her teammates on Saturday to take part in the ceremonial puck drop before the San Jose Sharks hosted the Edmonton Oilers.
Sharks captain Macklin Celebrini and Oilers captain Connor McDavid joined Edwards at center ice for the puck drop.
Sharks players also arrived to the arena wearing PWHL San Jose’s sweaters to celebrate the new franchise.
