2025 San Jose Sharks as sharks
Briefly

Vincent Desharnais, at 6-foot-7 and 226 pounds, is compared to a whale shark, embodying the gentle giant persona. Known for his humanitarian efforts, he was nominated for the Hockey Humanitarian Award in 2019 while at Providence College. He has participated in shaved head challenges to raise money for cancer. Desharnais is open about his struggles with mental health, including anxiety and depression stemming from a concussion, expressing feelings of wanting to quit hockey altogether in a podcast interview.
So if you're a big friendly giant and a chilled, laid back dude, we reckon you're most like a Whale shark!
At 6-foot-7, 226 pounds, Vincent Desharnais is certainly the biggest of the San Jose Sharks. And much like the beloved whale shark, Desharnais is a gentle giant.
Desharnais was one of the nominees for the Hockey Humanitarian Award while playing for Providence College.
I wanted to quit hockey. Wanted to quit on life.
