Celebrini Set to Become Sharks Captain | San Jose Sharks News
Description
Macklin Celebrini is poised to become San Jose Sharks captain — a role that feels inevitable as training camp nears. Already an alternate captain, the 20-year-old phenom shattered Joe Thornton’s single-season points record with 115, led the Sharks’ historic 34-point playoff surge, and earned Ted Lindsay Award finalist honors — a feat last seen in teens since Sidney Crosby. Celebrini’s international rise includes becoming the first teenager to play for Team Canada in an NHL-headlined Olympics and captaining them at the World Championships. He also signed a record-breaking five-year, $94 million extension — the highest AAV in the league at $18.8M — positioning him to become one of hockey’s top earners. With Crosby’s own early captaincy as inspiration, Celebrini’s leadership pedigree is undeniable, making him the Sharks’ next captain — and the 11th in franchise history.
