Longtime Sharks color commentator Jamie Baker announced that he is stepping down from the role to focus on himself once again.
He has been part of the Sharks organization for over 25 years as a player in the 90s and a member of their broadcast team for the past 15 years. Baker stepped away from the broadcast booth a few times during the 2017-18 season to address his mental health and well-being. In 2019, he made his struggles with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts known publicly.
I knew Jamie Baker best as a broadcaster from many of the Sharks games I have watched on TV. He has been a fantastic color commentator while also raising more awareness toward mental health issues through his own personal struggles. I will miss seeing him in the broadcast booth and hearing his commentary on my TV during Sharks games.
Wishing nothing but the best in retirement Bakes!
