San Jose Sharks Captain’s Skate: Michael Misa & Top Prospects Hit the Ice!
The San Jose Sharks have returned and excitement is in the air. On Monday, players, prospects, and members of the Barracuda took to the ice at Sharks Ice and TechCU Arena for a spirited practice session.

Both Misa and general manager Mike Greer have made it clear that the 18-year-old will be given a genuine opportunity to prove himself at the highest level of hockey. It’s also encouraging to see William Ecklund and Shakir Mukamadulan back on the ice, especially after both players have faced significant injuries.
