The Mic is Open with Alan Hoshida | Episode 13 - Ryan Warsofsky

🏒 Ryan Warsofsky on Sharks Training Camp, Team USA Gold & Life as a NHL HC dad 🎙️

On this episode of The Mic is Open, host Alan Hoshida sits down with San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky as he gears up for his second season behind the bench.

Fresh off a monumental World Championship gold medal as head coach of Team USA, Ryan reflects on what that moment meant — and how he balances coaching with the perfect offseason day: a little golf and a lot of family time.

With the Sharks Rookie Faceoff kicking off this weekend and training camp just days away, Warsofsky breaks down:

The roster heading into the 2025–26 season
Key questions he needs answered during camp & preseason
How the Teal Core — Michael Misa, Sam Dickinson, Will Smith, and Macklin Celebrini — will pair with a new wave of veterans

The conversation wraps up by looking at the coach as a family man. As he gets emotional, Ryan shares the best lesson he ever received from his father and why family continues to be his deepest foundation.

This episode is the perfect way to get set for NHL training camp and what should be a big step forward for Team Teal.
