SAN JOSE, CA — The Sharks have signed former Ottawa 67s defenseman, Jacob Middleton, to a three year, entry-level contract. The 6’3”, 210 pound defenseman tallied nine points and 56 penalty minutes in 50 games with the San Jose Barracuda last season. He added another four points and ten penalty minutes during the Barracuda’s Calder Cup run, bringing them to the Western Conference Final.
"Jacob really took a big step forward this past season in his first year of professional hockey and we're excited with his progress with the Barracuda," said Sharks Assistant General Manager and San Jose Barracuda General Manager, Joe Will.
