The San Jose Sharks brought back a big part of their historyon Sunday.

Jonathan Cheechoo, the Sharks single-season goal leader, did the honors of opening the locker room door before Game 5 of the Western Conference Final against the St. Louis Blues.
Cheechoo scored 56 goals for the Sharks and won the Rocket Richard Trophy for the 2005-06 season.
He's the only 50-goal scorer in a single season in San Jose history and led the team in goals in three straight seasons.
But Sunday he was playing cheerleader.
