"Mark my words: It is only a matter of time before the attention of the Bay Area fan shifts south, the hockey world feels a distinct tilt to the west, and everyone in North America knows that Mack means No. 71 in teal. And, folks, things are just getting started down here. Because Celebrini isn't just good. He is already great. He's a teenager dominating grown, millionaire men in the world's best league."
"Celebrini, born in 2006, is now tied for second in the NHL in scoring with 30 points in 20 games. By hitting that mark in 20 or fewer games before turning 20 years old, Celebrini joined one of the most illustrious lists in the history of the sport. Here are the players who have done it before: Wayne, Mario, and Sid. And now, Macklin. That is the list. That is the kind of rarified company he keeps first-name-only legends."
Macklin Celebrini, the 19-year-old No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, is producing elite performances for the San Jose Sharks. Celebrini scored all three goals in a 3-2 overtime win over Utah, with each goal showing casual, transcendental skill. The Sharks sit 9-8-3 and two points out of a playoff spot as Celebrini is tied for second in the NHL with 30 points in 20 games. He reached 30 points in 20 or fewer games before turning 20, joining Wayne, Mario, and Sid. Celebrini is dominating older professionals and projects as a franchise-altering superstar for years to come.
