Max Heise Joins Denver Pioneers | San Jose Sharks News

Max Heise, a top forward drafted by the San Jose Sharks in 2025, is making a bold leap from the WHL’s Prince Albert Raiders to the NCAA—switching from Michigan State to powerhouse University of Denver. With 29 goals and 63 points last season, Heise is primed to add another national title to Denver’s recent three-championship run. He’s sharpened his physical game, boosted his confidence, and is ready to dominate with speed and puck control against tougher, faster competition. Though he spent three years committed to Michigan State, Heise felt Denver’s culture and coaching better matched his growth. He’s eager to bring his two-way game—especially on the penalty kill—to the Pioneers and prove he belongs at this elite level.
