Sharks Release Michael Misa to Team Canada for World Juniors

The 18-year-old stayed in San Jose for added treatment per coach Ryan Warsofsky.

Overview

  • San Jose officially loaned the 2025 No. 2 draft pick to Canada on Wednesday, finalizing his availability for the tournament in St. Paul.
  • Warsofsky said the team kept Misa a few extra days because he was "nicked up" and needed time with strength and medical staff before departing.
  • Misa opened his rookie season with one goal and two assists in seven NHL games, then logged one assist in two AHL conditioning outings.
  • He is expected to join Canada’s practices Thursday after missing the start of camp, with the event set to begin Dec. 26 in Minnesota.
  • Reporting indicates he is projected for a top-line role for Canada, while the Sharks continue to weigh a separate loan decision on defenseman Sam Dickinson.
