San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager
Doug Wilson announced today that the team has signed unrestricted
free agent forward Cam MacIntyre, a Princeton standout, to an
entry-level contract. In keeping with club policy, financial terms
of the deal were not disclosed.
MacIntyre spent the last four seasons with Princeton and in
2009-10, finished with 10 points in 10 games (6 goals, 4 assists)
as one of the team captains. He finished the season with eight
penalty minutes and had a plus/minus rating of +6. MacIntyre
finished his Princeton career with 60 points (29 goals and 31
assists), 101 penalty minutes and a +7 rating in 87 career
games.
He’s been playing through injuries the last two years, but
his best year came as a sophomore when he had 31 points and was on
Princeton’s top line. That year Princeton won the ECAC and
Ivy League titles and made their first NCAA Tournament appearance
in 10 years. MacIntyre played with Mike Moore, a Sharks signee now
in Worcester, during his first two seasons at Princeton.
“Cam is a physical player that brings great leadership to
our organization,” said Wilson. “Head Coach Guy
Gadowsky and the rest of the Princeton staff did an exceptional job
in his four collegiate seasons and we look forward to continuing
his development as a professional hockey player.”
The six-foot-one, 225-pound native of Sooke, British Columbia also
spent three seasons in the BCHL with the Cowichan Valley Capitals
(2003-2005) and the Salmon Arm Silverbacks (2005-06) prior to
attending Princeton, including posting 75 points (41 goals, 34
assists) in 60 games in 2005-06 with Salmon Arm. The forward was
named a captain and first-team all-star of the BCHL Coast
Conference All-Star Team in 2005-06 and captained his teams in all
three years of BCHL play.
