The most successful year in the history of the franchise saw the Las Vegas Sharks finish strongly and make the 1982 play-offs.

They defeated Detroit Iron in the Conference finals to meet the Boston Princes in the championship series. However injuries to key personnel, especially star guard and captain Blane Holt, saw their performance dip and they were beaten by the Boston Princes.

This was still seen as a very big achievement by the young franchise and they went into the 1983 season as one of the early favorites.
