SAN JOSE - San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the club has assigned forward Timo Meier (@MeierTimo) to the Halifax Mooseheads of the QMJHL.

"Timo had an impressive camp. He showed everyone why we selected him where we did," said Sharks Head Coach Peter DeBoer. "He has a nice blend of power, speed and skill and he has a really bright future."

The six-foot, 210-pound native of Herisau, Switzerland, was the Sharks first-round selection (ninth overall) in the 2015 NHL Draft. Upon his return, Meier was named the captain of Halifax for the 2015-16 season.

The Sharks training camp now stands at 27 players. An updated roster can be found here.
