Paddock was invited to the Sharks rookie camp as a free-agent and played one rookie tournament game against the Colorado Avalanche in Las Vegas.

He then joined the team at their main camp.

The 18-year-old is entering his first full season as the Pats number one goaltender after posting a record of 19-7-1-1 last season.

Paddock had a 2.90 goals-against average last year, good for third in the WHL and a twelfth-best .904 save percentage.

The Brandon, Man. native also went 3-1 in the Memorial Cup, and was named to the tournament all-star team.
