Podcast appearances and mentions of jonathan becher

The Sharks began the week by stopping a 6 game losing streak with an impressive outing by Yaroslav Askarov in a defensive win over a struggling Pittsburgh team. However, the Sharks finished a light week with what coach Warsofsky called a “downright embarrassing” loss in Seattle during the dad's trip followed the next morning with a bag skate. The Sharks also spent a down weekend making deals with Dallas. We also cover mounting injuries to the roster, moving goalies and what to do with Askarov. We discuss the obvious quarter century team, the manufactured hype, and what's wrong with the selections. Some notable quotes from the Q&A event with Jonathan Becher, Mike Grier, and Ryan Warsofsky are also debated. Meanwhile, Utah can't figure out what to name their team, salary cap increases excite pending UFAs, Vanecek rehabs with the Barracuda, and Igor Chernyshov starts strong for Saginaw. - Yaroslav Askarov posts a .970 in a 2-1 W over the Penguins - Yaroslav Askarov allows 3 goals on 3 shots during 6-2 loss in Seattle - Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci traded for picks to Dallas - Injuries mount while Vitek Vanecek is set to return - Askarov to be sent down, will play in the AHL All Star Game - Stock Up, Stock Down - The obvious quarter century Sharks team isn't so obvious? - Questionable answers to Sharks' fan questions - Around the NHL: Utah Hockey Club names, salary cap jumps, 4Nations jerseys drop too late - Barracuda update: Pink In The Rink, 3 of 4 points against Henderson, Vanecek rehabs, Bystedt returns, AHL ASG - and more… Teal Town USA - A San Jose Sharks post-game podcast, for fans, by fans!

Old friend Jack Han joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! Before we get to the ex-Toronto Marlies assistant coach and tactics guru (1:43:12), Keegan and Sheng talk about the latest San Jose Sharks news. Retiring Joe Pavelski revealed last week that the Sharks had reached out to him about coming back. But what about Pavelski joining the San Jose front office? (01:40) The San Jose Sharks re-sign Brandon Coe, we discuss Coe's development path and the 2020 Draft. (08:30) Bret Hedican is leaving the San Jose Sharks' broadcasting booth, who could replace him? (27:05) There was a bit of a Twitter kerfuffle with something Sheng posted from our recent Jonathan Becher interview. (32:40) What should the San Jose Sharks still try to add to this team? How about Yaroslav Askarov, would Keegan make the trade that Sheng proposed earlier last week? (50:40) The San Jose Sharks organization still need a No. 3 goalie, we talk remaining free agents, like Martin Jones. (1:19:00) How about a defenseman? (01:27:00) Finally, who won the Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski, Patrick Marleau, and William Eklund autographs that SJHN is giving away for its fourth anniversary? (1:33:25) Steve Sullivan, Lizbeth DeSelm, Andy Drexler, and Aaron Siek, in order, are your winners. Thank you for subscribing! And here's Jack Han! (1:43:12) Jack talks about the San Jose Sharks' structure, or lack thereof. How much was that on fired head coach David Quinn? (1:46:30) After Jan. 31, the Sharks' power play was seventh in the NHL. Was that real or just puck luck? (1:49:20) Han is impressed with San Jose's off-season acquisitions, especially Tyler Toffoli's subtle skills. (1:54:25) How will Celebrini and Smith transition to the NHL, what's their immediate impact? (2:09:45) Han thought that Nikolaj Ehlers or Martin Necas could be a good fit for the San Jose Sharks. Is there another type of player that they should target? (2:13:10) What about the top defensemen of the 2024 Draft? Han watched them all, including doing a Zayne Parekh video workshop, he thinks that they all have red flags. What does he think of the choice between Sam Dickinson or Zeev Buium? (2:16:35) What's the value of having a skills and development assistant coach like Jeff Ulmer around the bench now? (2:22:15) In Han's Hockey Tactics 2024, he talks about William Eklund's skill-set. What does he think of Eklund's development? (2:25:10)

Jonathan Becher joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! The San Jose Sharks' president talks about the Macklin Celebrini effect and why it took the Sharks so long to embrace the rebuild. But before we get to Becher (1:09:57), Sheng and Keegan talk about Celebrini signing his ELC. Where does Celebrini fit into the San Jose Sharks' line-up? What are our too early predictions for how many points that Celebrini scores in his rookie campaign? Who wins the 2025 Calder Trophy? (1:50) Ty Emberson also signed…does Emberson take a top-four defenseman job on the Sharks by the end of the season? GM Mike Grier hasn't added any blueliners via free agency, is that a sign of his confidence in younger D like Emberson, Shakir Mukhamadullin, and Henry Thrun? (36:26) Finally, we turn our focus on the San Jose Barracuda: Why did Nathan Todd leave? How impressive were GM Joe Will's free agent signings? (51:29) And now, Becher! (1:09:57) Three years ago, the San Jose Sharks seemed unwilling to go into a rebuild. Behind the scenes, what's changed in recent seasons, that the Sharks now embrace a rebuild? (1:11:00) How has owner Hasso Plattner's attitude changed about rebuilding? (1:13:47) Two decisions about the same player seem to speak to that shift of attitude? In Mar. 2022, the Sharks re-signed Tomas Hertl for eight years. Two years later, the Sharks traded him. (1:15:14) Plattner was recently spotted at the Jul. 4 prospects scrimmage: How much more involved is Hasso with the Sharks now? (1:17:22) What's the Macklin Celebrini effect on the Sharks, from the Draft Party to jersey sales to prospects scrimmage attendance to more? (1:19:26) What's so valuable about having so many San Jose Sharks alumni back with the organization? (1:29:26) Sheng has one more Hertl question for Becher. (1:32:38) What's going on with the Sharks' SAP Center management agreement? Becher said the terms change unfavorably against the Sharks on Jul. 1, 2025. What does that mean for how long the Sharks will play at SAP Center? (1:33:57) Finally, there's an ongoing lawsuit against the Sharks, Sharks Ice, and former Jr. Sharks coach Kevin Whitmer for failing to follow proper procedures to protect Jr. Sharks players from alleged pedophile Whitmer. What's the latest on the lawsuit? (1:39:00) Becher urges fans to get Joe Thornton retirement jersey tickets now -- they're selling fast! -- and shares that there will also be a Legends alumni game for Jumbo. (1:40:00)

“Job security” is the buzz phrase in this subscriber's mailbag edition of the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast. From Sheng Peng to John McCarthy to David Quinn to Mike Grier to Jonathan Becher to Hasso Plattner to the literal concept of the Sharks in San Jose, everybody's job security is questioned. Alaskan_ice started us off nice though, wondering if Sheng or Keegan have ever "geeked out" during an interview? (6:20) Gary To asked if Tomas Hertl is slowing down. (13:00) Embrace_the_rebuild asked where Sheng and Keegan would bet the San Jose Sharks would finish, over/under 34.5 Points? (17:30) Also, do the Sharks have any attractive Trade Deadline pieces?  Lizbeth DeSelm checked in on the severity of Logan Couture's injury (26:50) and just how good is Macklin Celebrini?  Chris Boucher-Lam wondered if the end is nigh for Marc-Edouard Vlasic and if the San Jose Sharks should buy him out this summer. (34:15) Bring Back Celebrini! asked who's worth bringing back from this current Sharks squad and what type of UFAs should they target this summer. (38:50) Just Steve inquired as to what the Sharks' scouting presence in Russia is. (49:10) Alex Genadinik wondered about Mike Grier's job security (51:00). Also, if the Pittsburgh Penguins' top-10 2024 first-round pick doesn't convey, does that mean the Pens' 2025 first-rounder is unprotected? matthias893 asked if there are any young, affordable NHL-caliber offensive defensemen available for the Sharks? (59:00) Anthony Morris inquired about Jonathan Becher's job security. (1:01:45) Zeke followed up about Quinn and McCarthy's job security? (1:07:20) Supreme_dream wondered how the Sharks D prospects were coming along?  (1:18:40) Teddy asked if any Barracuda prospects look ready for the NHL?

(1:42:10) Amy asked if Grier and Quinn are in danger of losing their jobs right now. (1:45:30) Jodv wondered when Sheng would get on Threads. (1:46:30) Jamnjon asked how high would you pick a defenseman in the 2024 Draft? (1:51:00) SummoningSalt had this gem of a question: “In 1984, Wayne Gretzky injured his shoulder. In his time gone from the team, the Oilers went into a tailspin, losing 5 straight while being outscored 33-9. This included brutal beatings of 9-2 and 11-0. “Is it possible that Logan Couture is Wayne Gretzky and the Sharks are the 1983-1984 Edmonton Oilers?” (1:55:00) Brownagedon requested a detailed analysis of William Eklund's season. (1:56:20) Kristian wondered if a perfect storm is brewing to blow the Sharks out of San Jose, indirectly questioning Sheng's job security.

In this week’s episode of The Breakout Growth Podcast, brought to you by SAP, Sean Ellis, and Ethan Garr talk with Jonathan Becher, President of Sharks Sports & Entertainment. If you are a hockey fan you probably know the San Jose Sharks, the flagship brand of Jonathan’s organization, but in this discussion, we quickly learned that when it comes to growth, the sports team itself is just one component of an exciting and complex ecosystem. With its huge media presence, four buildings (arenas and skating facilities), and fans with varying interest levels and unique backgrounds, Jonathan has a variety of tools and resources he and his team can tap into to create meaningful experiences to attract and retain audiences. But it is not without its challenges. Professional sports are typically steeped in tradition and slow to embrace change, but sports teams can’t afford to ignore the world around them. The Sharks literally live in the heart of Silicon Valley, and the world around them is becoming more digitized every day. Jonathan sees his job as one of “pioneering the future of sports entertainment,” so growth is then about embracing traditions while at the same time building new, engaging, and interconnected digital experiences for the future. A hockey fan at his core, Jonathan believes his staff is up to the task, and he brings a wealth of experience that includes everything from working as a developer to building startups, to even serving as CMO of SAP, to inform his approach. We learned quickly that Jonathan is a growth hacker at heart; working to understand the must-have experiences powering growth, and using data and experimentation to meet the needs of diverse audiences. It’s a great conversation, but before you jump in, learn more about SAP's cloud solutions for mid-size enterprises at sap.com/sme.

Before he became the President of the NHL's San Jose Sharks, Jonathan Becher was one of the premiere marketing executives in the technology industry. And it's safe to say he brought the visionary approach he developed at companies like SAP with him to the Sharks – which has paid off during the past 18 months as the pandemic disrupted the traditional fan experience. Becher and the Sharks have been one of the more innovative teams in all of sports, which is why my CRM Playaz co-host Paul Greenberg and I were excited to catch up with Becher via LinkedIn Live to see what he and the Sharks have been up to, how they've been exploring ways to create more aligned fan experiences to the current situation with the pandemic, how lessons learned during the pandemic are being implemented in preparation for life after Covid, and to get his perspective on where he sees the puck going – so to speak – with how fans will experience content in the coming years, including how they become collaborators and creators with their favorite sports franchises.

In this one on one with San Jose Sharks President Jonathan Becher, we cover a variety of topics with the 2021-2020 season less than a month away including: - Getting Kevin Smith a new Sharks hat for Clerks 3 - The process and requirements for entering SAP Center for events and replacing the metal detectors - The new bag policy - Opening SAP earlier for events - Ordering food, beverages, and merchandise, where to eat, and mask requirements - Exchange options for season ticket holders - Plan B in case technology fails - Reverse ATMs for cashless transactions - New food options at the arena - New BMW club experience - Season ticket renewals and the pandemic impact on attendance - Fan Fests and Skills Competition - Upcoming promotions for the 2021-2022 Sharks season - Changes to in-game presentations, a new host, and fan appreciation night - A downtown west expansion update - The new Adidas PrimeGreen San Jose Sharks jerseys and what has changed - Will there be a 4th Sharks jersey this season? - Will sponsor logos be included on store-bought jerseys? - The possibility of returning to the original Sharks logo - and more Teal Town USA - A San Jose Sharks' post-game podcast, for the fans, by the fans!

Jonathan Becher is the President of Sharks Sports & Entertainment and former technology executive. He and Bryan talk about the key to life's shifts, how to make progress in anything, and not being an accidental diminisher.

Jonathan Becher, President of the San Jose Sharks, likes to say he isn’t the president of the San Jose Sharks. It’s not a tactic to avoid getting recognized at Starbucks. For Becher, it’s just the truth. His true title is President of Sharks Sports and Entertainment, with his purview extending past the National Hockey League team to the minor league franchise, facilities, a non-profit and other wings of the business. Still, men skating and using sticks in an attempt to get a rubber disk past a man with a glove drives most of their business. So, when the actual hockey stops, as it has during the coronavirus pandemic, what do you do to keep fans connected? If you’re Becher, you adapt. “I don’t think we’re in the business of putting on a hockey game,” he said. “What we’re actually in the business of is making memories.” Of course, that can be watching Evander Kane light the lamp in the third period, but Becher and his team are thinking of different ways for fans to make memories. It’s meant diving in to areas the team previously eschewed, like simulated games using a video game platform. The team has given some fans the opportunity to create an avatar and “suit up” next to their favorite Sharks players during the games the team puts out on its Twitch channel. “They’ve been surprisingly, to me anyway, because I’m not a gamer, popular,” Becher said. “Partly, I think it’s because we did some cool stuff.” One fan, after his digital alter ego scored the winning goal, posted on social that it was the best experience of his life. Another memory made thanks to the Sharks – without the team even taking to the physical ice. Those moments are just one of the innovations Becher believes will be “sticky” and carry over once the team is able to play games again. “Here’s a new line of business that didn’t occur to us before, that was born out of necessity because of this disruption, and which we will continue even long after live games are back, because not everyone can be in our building in one night,” he said.

Today's buzz: CMO. Who's calling your marketing shots today – your MBA'ed CMO or hyper-vocal/social/mobile customers? A pop quiz to help you answer. Is your CMO (a) listening and responding to social sentiment? (b) a champion of memorable experiences with your legions of brand-owners? (c) using analytics to pull signals from your big and small data? Pencils down. Before deciding whether to hug your CMO or post their job, listen to the experts: Jonathan Becher, SAP: “Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.” (Albert Einstein or William Bruce Cameron, “Informal Sociology”) Steve Carlotti, Cambridge Group, “Listening and reacting is what is required today, and that's a lot harder than the planning and acting that was required yesterday.” Allen Bonde, Digital Clarity: “In B2B, it's critical for CMOs to emphasize thought leadership and selling big ideas versus simply selling products.” Join us for The New CMO in the Age of Customer Experience.
