SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks announced this week that during the team’s preseason, fans will have a say in their in-arena experience at SAP Center.

Although details were scarce, several Sharks’ followers on social media were hoping that meant debuting a new goal song — and turfing the one the team used last season.
The Sharks decided before the start of the 2025-26 season that they needed a new goal song after using “Get Ready For This” by 2 Unlimited for most of the previous nine years. Elevated season ticket holders got a choice between four new selections created by music producer BVRNOUT and picked a track called “Power Bite,” which first debuted during a game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Oct. 9, 2025, before a sold-out Shark Tank crowd.
At the time, the Sharks said they would have full ownership of the song and were “planning to use it beyond the arena on digital platforms and through remixes.”
Nevertheless, the social media reaction among some members of the Sharks’ fan base to the song was not kind. And, in a review of all NHL goal songs, sportswriters at The Athletic — never to be confused with Rolling Stone magazine’s music critics — gave “Power Bite” a four out of 10 rating.
But whether “Power Bite” soon bites the dust is unclear.
In its social media post on Tuesday, the Sharks, declaring their “preseason lab” officially open, said their home arena would become a “testing ground, and (fans) get a say in what we test.” The team said social media posts this week would feature different categories, allowing fans to cast their vote “to help shape the future of the Sharks in arena experience, from games and music to lighting, S.J. Sharkie, fan cams and more.”

One example was a poll about what game should be played inside the arena during television timeouts. The selections were ‘Minute to Win It,’ ‘Deal or No Deal’ and ‘Complete the Logo.’
Still, almost all replies on X, if not every one, said the Sharks needed a different goal song.
“Please god let this mean we can change the goal song,” wrote one fan.
“100th reply to say change the goal song; everything else is irrelevant,” wrote another.
The Sharks play preseason games at home on Sept. 22 against Vegas and two days later against the Anaheim Ducks. They open the regular season on Oct. 1 at home against the Florida Panthers.
