SJHN Daily: Bordeleau Represents Sharks at NHLPA Rookie Showcase

The NHLPA Rookie Showcase is back.

Per the NHLPA: “This unique event provides Upper Deck the official trading card partner of the NHLPA and the NHL with an opportunity to capture photographs and videos of many of the game’s top young prospects and rookies in their official NHL team uniforms. The content collected will be used for upcoming Upper Deck trading cards and related promotional materials.”

Thomas Bordeleau was one of the 27 prospects at the Showcase, and the lone representative from the San Jose Sharks.

Yaroslav Askarov, Matty Beniers, Matt Boldy, Simon Edvinsson, Owen Power, Juraj Slafkovsky, and Shane Wright were among the prospects invited.

Sammi Silber of Washington Hockey Now was there and shared some exclusive Bordeleau pics with San Jose Hockey Now! Thanks, Sammi! Follow Sammi, she’s doing a bang-up job covering the Washington Capitals.
