Earlier today, Canada announced its U-20 WJC roster, which featured two Sharks prospects. The first of which was Michael Misa, who will be representing Canada for the first time at the U-20 level. In addition, 2025 first-round goaltender Joshua Ravensbergen was also named to the team.
There was little surprise that Misa was named to the team, but his availability was in question with the Sharks not guaranteed to loan him out. Given how his year has gone, with missing time to an ankle injury and recently being loaned on a conditioning stint in the AHL, the Sharks could use the WJC as a ramp-up before the 2nd half of the season for Misa.
