Sharks Development Camp Roster Released, Public Scrimmage on Thursday Night

The San Jose Sharks are set to kick off development camp this week, highlighted by a 3-on-3 scrimmage on Thursday night at Sharks Ice.

In attendance at camp will be most of the prospects Sharks fans are most excited to see again, including Thomas Bordeleau, Ozzy Wiesblatt, William Eklund, Brandon Coe, and Tristen Robins. Also in attendance are a few prospects to keep an eye on, including 2022 first-round draft pick Filip Bystedt, Jasper Weatherby, Santeri Hatakka, Strauss Mann, and San Jose native Reese Laubach.

One player invited to camp to watch is TJ Hughes:

One interesting name on the Sharks camp invite list … T.J. Hughes, who led the AJHL w/66 goals in 60 games + is headed to Michigan.

Wolverines have 5 NHL picks plus 2023 stud Adam Fantilli coming to Ann Arbor next year … and another Hughes (no relation, that I see) as well.

Hughes was second in AJHL scoring, with his linemates finishing first and fourth and a defenseman from his team finishing third. He and Brooks Bandits were a powerhouse team in the AJHL in the 2021-22 season, and it will be interesting to see how Hughes looks at camp.

Notably missing from the development camp roster are recently signed defenseman Gannon Laroque, goaltender Magnus Chrona, and Sharks 2019 second-round pick Dillon Hamaliuk.
