"Misa, 18, was taken second overall by the Sharks at the NHL Draft in June after he led all CHL players in scoring in 2024-25 with 134 points with the Saginaw Spirit to earn Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Player of the Year honors. Misa became the first player in Spirit history to lead the CHL in scoring, had the most points for an under-18 player since 2000 (tied, John Tavares), and boasted the eighth-highest point total in a single season in CHL history."
"His 62 goals were the most by an OHL player since the 2006-07 season (Patrick Kane), and was tied for third-most by a draft-eligible skater in OHL history. Misa is taking part in the Sharks' rookie camp on Wednesday and Thursday before the team leaves to play in the Golden State Rookie Faceoff this weekend, with games against prospects from the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings."
The San Jose Sharks signed first-round pick Michael Misa to a three-year entry-level contract. Misa, 18, was selected second overall after leading all CHL players in 2024-25 with 134 points for the Saginaw Spirit and earning OHL Player of the Year. He became the first Spirit player to lead the CHL in scoring, posted the most points for an under-18 player since 2000 (tied John Tavares), and recorded the eighth-highest single-season CHL point total. His 62 goals were the most by an OHL player since 2006-07 (Patrick Kane). Misa is participating in Sharks rookie camp and intends to pursue an NHL roster spot this season amid roster competition and recent offseason additions including Jeff Skinner, Adam Gaudette, Ryan Reaves, and Philipp Kurashev.
