Macklin Celebrini is a Canadian professional ice hockey center and alternate captain for the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He first gained major recognition as a star college player for the Boston University Terriers, where his exceptional freshman season culminated in him winning the Hobey Baker Award as the top men's player in NCAA ice hockey, making him the youngest-ever recipient.
His professional career began with significant anticipation after he was selected first overall by the San Jose Sharks in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. Celebrini immediately made an impact in his rookie season, earning a finalist spot for the Calder Memorial Trophy, which is awarded to the league's best first-year player. He has also represented Canada in international competitions, including the World Junior Championships and the IIHF World Championship.
Recently, Celebrini has been in the news for his on-ice performance. As highlighted by numerous sports headlines in late November 2025, he scored his 14th goal of the season in a game where the San Jose Sharks defeated the Boston Bruins 3-1. This continued to demonstrate his offensive contribution and development as a key player for his team early in his NHL career.
