NHL Future Watch: Macklin Celebrini Hockey Cards, San Jose Sharks NHL Future Watch: Macklin Celebrini Hockey Cards, San Jose Sharks – The San Jose Sharks selected Macklin Celebrini with the first overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. A player of his ilk can’t change a franchise overnight but he’s working to make the Sharks contenders once again.

He started at Shattuck St. Mary’s, an elite hockey prep school, that Sidney Crosby and many other NHL players attended. In 2021-22, he was playing in 18U as a younger player and still scored 117 points. Celebrini had 50 goals in 52 games.

In 2022-23, he played for the Chicago Steel in the USHL. Again, as a younger player, he was masterful in a tough league. Celebrini scored 46 goals with 40 assists in just 50 games! He was scoreless in two playoff games showing that this league isn’t easy to play in for younger players. That year at the U18s, representing Team Canada, he had six goals and nine assists in 15 games. He was voted a Top 3 Player and walked away with a bronze medal.

Celebrini’s next stop was Boston University. He set a standard as a true freshman that’s going to be hard to match. He had 32 goals and 32 assists in 38 games. During the season at the World Juniors, he had eight points in five games. He was voted a Top 3 Player on Team Canada. His list of accomplishments at BU are too long to mention but he did win the Hockey East Scoring Championship, made the Hockey East All-Rookie Team, and was an All-American.
