SJHN Daily: Behind the Scenes With Warsofsky & Celebrini at Practice, Sharks Going to WJCs
Hockey Canada announced their 25-man roster for the upcoming IIHF World Junior Championship on Friday.
San Jose Sharks prospect and current London Knights defenseman Sam Dickinson will don the red and white this year, marking his debut at the tournament. As the Ontario Hockey League’s top-scoring defenseman, it’s hard to imagine him anywhere other than on Canada’s top pairing which is where Steven Ellis of Daily Faceoff has him projected.
On Saturday, Finland announced their roster as well. San Jose Sharks prospect and Dickinson’s teammate with the Knights, Kasper Halttunen, was the organization’s lone representative for the Scandinavian team.
Both players should be an important part of their respective team, and should play big minutes. There are a few more teams that still need to release their roster, so it’s entirely possible we’ll hear about some more representatives for the Sharks in the near future as well.
At San Jose Hockey Now…
