The Sharks<\/a> have signed Carson Wetsch to an entry-level contract.<\/p>\n

Wetsch, a third-round pick by the Sharks in the 2024 NHL Draft, enjoyed a career year with the Kelowna Rockets, notching a personal WHL-high 50 assists and 72 points. The 20-year-old also captained a Rockets squad that featured over a half-dozen NHL draft picks, including 2024 sixth-overall Tij Iginla.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-2 winger was acquired by the Rockets from the Calgary Hitmen last May. In 2024-25, Wetsch set a personal WHL high with 33 goals.<\/p>\n

The North Vancouver native, who grew up with Sharks superstar Macklin Celebrini<\/a>, is a heart-and-soul physical winger, evidenced by being named Kelowna captain. He also was invited to Hockey Canada\u2019s 2025 World Junior Summer Showcase.<\/p>\n

\u201cWetsch is a well-rounded winger who plays the game the right way, knows his role and is consistent shift to shift,\u201d Scott Wheeler wrote in The Athletic<\/a> in April. He was also an honorable mention in San Jose Hockey Now\u2019s post-trade deadline top-10 Sharks prospects rankings.<\/p>\n
