Devin Cooley: From Sharks to Flames: A Bay Area Native’s Journey in the NHL

Devin Cooley, the former Sharks goaltender and Bay Area native, recently signed a two-year contract with the Calgary Flames. Cooley, who is 27 years old and hails from Los Gatos, played six games for the Sharks in the 2023-24 season after being elevated to the No. 3 netminder position following a trade that sent Kaapo Kahkonen to the New Jersey Devils. In those games, Cooley posted a 2-3-1 record, with his first NHL victory coming in overtime against the St. Louis Blues on April 6.

Cooley’s contract with the Flames includes a two-way deal for the 2024-25 season, with salaries of $775,000 in the NHL and $400,000 in the AHL. With this move, Cooley becomes the first Bay Area native to appear in net for San Jose Sharks.

After signing his contract with Flames, Cooley expressed his gratitude towards Sharks organization and fans. He stated that despite no longer playing for Sharks he will continue to support and watch them from outside as a fan. The Sharks will now be looking to acquire a new No. 3 goalie behind Mackenzie Blackwood and Vitek Vanecek following Cooley’s departure.
