Cam Lund is set to begin his professional hockey career with the San Jose Sharks after signing a three-year entry-level contract. Following the end of his college season at Northeastern, where he excelled as an assistant captain, Lund is eager to make his NHL debut. At 20, he represents the vibrant youth movement within the Sharks, joining other under-21 teammates. Lund's dedication and impressive stats, including 18 goals, underline his readiness for this next chapter. This transition marks a significant milestone in his journey from college star to professional athlete.
"It's a dream come true for me," said Lund, who signed his three-year entry-level contract with the Sharks on Friday. "My whole life (I've been) dreaming of this opportunity to play in the NHL and being able to come out here, it's such an honor."
Lund, a 2022 second-round draft pick by the Sharks, had discussed with the team during last summer's development camp that the 2024-25 season would be his final one at the NCAA level.
"I knew it was a big year for me," Lund said. "I was kind of planning on turning pro after the year, and then obviously had a good year and ultimately signed."
Lund will start his pro career on the wing, coach Ryan Warsofsky said, and become the latest 21-and-under player to join the Sharks this season.
