Michael Misa should play in the World Junior Championships.<\/p>\n
The San Jose Sharks\u2019 2025 second-overall pick is currently on an AHL conditioning loan with the Barracuda. It looks like that loan is going to lead directly to the WJCs and not the NHL.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old center had a goal and two assists in seven Sharks games before his Nov. 5 right ankle injury.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Cam Robinson reported that Misa should be loaned to Team Canada for the tournament.<\/p>\n
The Canadian WJC training camp roster will be announced tomorrow, but I’m told Michael Misa, Harrison Brunicke, and Ben Kindel are expected to be loaned from the NHL<\/p>\n
Additionally, 2026-eligibles, Carson Carels and Keaton Verhoeff will be included<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cam Robinson (@Hockey_Robinson) December 7, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Last year, Misa was passed over by Team Canada- who were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
