Welcome to this edition of the 2025 WHL Prospect Pools. Throughout the 2025 off-season, we will be taking a look at current or recently graduated WHLers who have either been drafted or signed by NHL clubs. Today's organization is the San Jose Sharks, which has five WHLers in its prospect pool.
The Sharks have built a deep prospect pool which features some exciting WHL talent. They drafted Kelowna Rockets forward Carson Westch, Victoria Royals defenceman Nate Misskey and Vancouver Giants defenceman Colton Roberts in 2024, before adding Prince George Cougars goaltender Joshua Ravensbergen and Prince Albert Raiders forward Max Heise this year. San Jose also has Gannon Laroque, Luca Cagnoni and Zack Ostapchuk, which shows just how committed they are to adding WHL talent to their roster.
Starting with Wetsch, he was traded to the 2026 Memorial Cup hosts this off-season. The 19-year-old spent last season with the Calgary Hitmen, where he recorded 52 points in 68 games. Listed at 6'1", 198 lbs, Wetsch will be a name to watch for this year's Canadian World Junior Team.
Up next is Misskey, who wrapped up his WHL career last season. The 20-year-old played 179 games for the Victoria Royals, scoring 22 goals and recording 95 points. Listed at 6'4", 212 lbs, Misskey is headed to UMass-Lowell next year.
The third member of the 2024 draft class is Roberts. The 19-year-old had a successful season with the Giants, recording 36 points in 66 games. Listed at 6'4", 209 lbs, Roberts will be playing at Colorado College in 2025-26.
Moving to Ravensbergen, he was the second goaltender selected in the 2025 draft. The 18-year-old posted a record of 33-13-4 with a save percentage of .901 in 51 games. Listed at 6'5", 192 lbs, Ravensbergen will be fighting for a spot on Canada's World Junior team later this year.
Lastly, we have Heise, who will be making his WHL debut next season. The 19-year-old played last season with the Penticton Vees of the BCHL, recording 40 points in 50 games. Listed at 6'3", 170 lbs, Heise will be headed to Michigan State University in 2026-27.
