The San Jose Sharks, a professional ice hockey team that competes in the National Hockey League (NHL), will start accepting Dogecoin, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and some other cryptocurrencies after partnering with payment processor BitPay, Sports Business Journal reports
From the get-go, it will be possible to use crypto for making substantial purchases such as season-ticket memberships and sponsorship deals, according to President Jonathan Becher.
The official app of the California-based hockey franchise will also add a crypto payment option.

Earlier this year, Mark Cuban's Dallas Mavericks also started accepting Dogecoin payments.
