Hailing from Stratford, Ontario, Jacob Middleton is attending his third Sharks Development Camp. Middleton may be a familiar face to many as he played the past two season with the San Jose Barracuda.
Even if he's a veteran at camp there is still a lot to absorb. "You're given so much information you just try to take it all in, learn as much as you can," the six-foot-three defensemen stated.
Another key as a returning camp attendee is to make the newbies feel welcomed. Middleton said he wants to "Help the younger guys coming in whose first camp it is and make them feel comfortable."

Taking that big-brother role at camp this year couldn't be truer for Jacob whose younger brother Keaton was also invited to attend the Sharks camp this year.
You can catch the Middleton brothers go head-to-head at Friday's Prospects Scrimmage. Jacob tells us that Friday's game "is what everyone is here for."
"For those guys who don't have the opportunity to play here," Middleton continued, "You guys are great fans and hopefully they can experience that as well."
Give the Sharks prospects a taste of the San Jose fanbase at the 2018 Prospects Scrimmage on Friday, July 6 at SAP Center.
