San Jose Sharks defenseman Sam Dickinson reveals his journey from OHL draft drama to becoming a key piece of the Sharks’ emerging young core. Is San Jose’s playoff push for real with three teenage NHLers leading the charge?
JD Young spotlights Dickinson’s development, including his unforgettable Memorial Cup win with the London Knights and insights into team dynamics alongside Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith. Topics include rising star Kasper Haltonen’s playoff heroics, London’s famed buzz cuts, and Dickinson’s welcome-to-the-NHL moment. The show explores how Sharks veterans guide the youth movement, the impact of recent NHL rule changes, and whether the blend of rookies and seasoned winners can propel San Jose back to postseason glory.

He watched Makar unload that shot and feel like he is inspired to be a weapon from the blue line like him.
This draft man macklin sam and Igor
Crazy GMMG trading up from 14th to 11th to get one of the top six defensemen and crazy how this dude fell to 11th!
Been really pleased with Sam's progress this season.
The NHL game is still too fast for him, but not nearly as much as it was in the first 1/3 of the season. D-men at 19 are rarely this good. Many good d-men don't figure out the position until age 25 or so. His future is pretty bright.
He’s gonna be good! Few years San Jose will be dominating!
JD's first interview with future Norris trophy winner, Sam Dickinson!
Celebrini, Dickinson and Chernyshov in the same draft.
All three are huge pieces of our future.
