Sam Dickinson, the 18-year-old defenseman and San Jose Sharks prospect, has made waves in the Ontario Hockey League, scoring an impressive 45 points in just 24 games, positioning him as the OHL's third-leading scorer. His remarkable performance earned him a spot on Canada’s national junior team selection camp roster, showcasing his potential on an international stage as he prepares for the upcoming IIHF World Junior Championships.
Dickinson's standout performance this season includes a stunning game where he scored two goals and assisted on three more during London Knights’ 10-3 thrashing of the Ottawa 67s. This game highlighted not only his scoring ability but also showcased his playmaking skills, solidifying his reputation as a premier defenseman at the junior level and underscoring his importance to the Sharks' future.
The Canadian national junior team selection camp invited only ten defensemen, including Dickinson, displaying the high level of competition he will face as he vies for a roster spot for the IIHF World Junior Championships starting on December 26 in Ottawa. This opportunity reflects his impressive performance thus far and sets the stage for potentially significant contributions to Canada's international success.
Dickinson was the sole prospect from the San Jose Sharks included in the selection camp. With other Sharks draft picks like Carson Wetsch and Colton Roberts remaining with their CHL teams, Dickinson’s invitation confirms his status as a key prospect, likely to play a pivotal role for the Sharks in the coming years, especially if he excels in the World Juniors.
