Sharks’ Misa Injured Again, to Miss Start of Canada’s World Juniors Camp
San Jose Sharks prospect Michael Misa is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and expected to join Team Canada’s World Junior camp later; Vanacker replaces him.
- Hockey Canada announced Friday that San Jose Sharks center Michael Misa will miss the start of Team Canada National Junior Team’s training camp in Niagara Falls from Dec. 12-22, while Brantford Bulldogs forward Marek Vanacker was added.
- During a conditioning stint on Dec. 5 and 6, Michael Misa played two games with the San Jose Barracuda, collecting one assist as part of rehab.
- Recent form shows Michael Misa, 18, has one goal and two assists in seven San Jose Sharks games and completed a conditioning assignment with the San Jose Barracuda.
- Because Misa was named among 27 players, Team Canada must cut one forward, one defenceman and a goalie before the World Junior Championship in Minnesota, and Hockey Canada said he is expected to join camp by Dec. 22.
- He did not play in San Jose’s most recent game on Wednesday, underscoring limited availability during camp evaluations, and Misa has skated with Joe Thornton during rehab at the Sharks’ practice facility.
