Devin Cooley, 26, will make NHL debut Sunday for the San Jose Sharks against the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center

Devin Cooley, a Los Gatos native, was acquired by the San Jose Sharks from the Buffalo Sabres on March 8, 2024. Devin Cooley’s introduction to ice skating as a young boy growing up in the South Bay was a bit of a happy accident.
“So having it come full circle and seeing him play for the Sharks,” Scott Cooley, Devin’s dad, said, “it’s just nothing short of a miracle.” “It was maybe his second year,” Scott Cooley said, “and they said ‘Hey, Devin, do you want to try it?’ So they threw him in, and he just loved it and never looked back.”
Devin Cooley was around 16 years old and playing at the AAA level in San Jose when his parents started to think their son could have a future in hockey past the youth level. Like other special players his age, there were opportunities to go to a more traditional hockey environment with better competition.
In his sophomore year with the Pioneers, Cooley had a .934 save percentage in 20 games, still the second-highest single-season mark in program history.
