San Jose Sharks prospects Michael Misa and Josh Ravensbergen were named to Team Canada’s 2026 World Junior Championship training camp roster.

Misa, who has just returned from an ankle injury and is playing for the San Jose Barracuda on a conditioning loan, is being loaned by the Sharks to join Canada. Misa has one assist in two games played for the ‘Cuda, playing in a top-six role with Cam Lund and Oliver Wahlstrom.

In seven NHL games with the San Jose Sharks, Misa has one goal and two assists. He was beginning to heat up offensively with more consistent games, but the month-long injury slightly derailed his season.

Misa told reporters following his first game in the AHL that he would love to play for his home country, but wasn’t sure what the plan was.

“Just taking it day by day,” Misa said. “If I do get the chance to go there and help them, the plan is to win a gold medal.”

Ravensbergen was selected by the San Jose Sharks 31st overall in the 2025 NHL Draft. The netminder was arguably the highest-rated goalie prospect of the 2025 draft class.

After two strong years in the WHL, Ravensbergen has entered his third season with the Prince George Cougars as a superstar. The 18-year-old’s play should put him in the conversation to be Canada’s No. 1 goalie. Carter George, a Los Angeles Kings prospect, started for Canada in the 2025 WJC.

In 22 games, Ravensbergen has a 16-6-0 record, a 2.50 GAA, and a .921 save percentage. The Sharks prospect ranks fourth in the WHL in both GAA and save percentage.

What about Sam Dickinson?

San Jose Sharks defenseman Sam Dickinson was not included on the training camp roster by Canada, but is still eligible to play in the tournament.

Per Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects, Hockey Canada is holding spots open on their roster for NHL players until Dec. 22. Dickinson would likely be the No. 1 defenseman for Canada.

Team Canada is leaving room for eligible NHLers, holding potential WJC roster spots open until December 22.

Like Misa, the Sharks would have to approve and loan the 19-year-old defenseman to Canada for the Tournament. In 23 games this season, Dickinson has one goal and one assist. He’s shown flashes of great play, but is still figuring it out at the NHL level.

Sending him to the WJC would have pros and cons. The biggest pro of the Sharks sending him would be to build his confidence. A con is that playing against U20 players could create bad habits upon his eventual return to the NHL after the tournament.

For all three Sharks prospects, if they go to the tournament, there is a risk of injury, but the same can be said for every other team in the NHL or at the Junior level.
