"Each of the players that will serve as our leadership group for the 2025-26 season brings an important skillset and character to the room, Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said in a statement. These individuals embody what it means to be a Shark, and the identity we want to have as a team. As a coaching staff, we are excited to have each of these players in a leadership role and setting an example for the rest of the group."
"The Sharks will have Tyler Toffoli, Alexander Wennberg, Barclay Goodrow, Mario Ferraro, and Macklin Celebrini as the team's alternate captains. Toffoli, Wennberg, Goodrow, and Ferraro also served as alternates last season. Celebrini, a cornerstone of the Sharks franchise and likely a future captain of the team, is entering his second NHL season. Toffoli will wear an A' for all games, while Goodrow and Celebrini will serve as alternate captains for home games, and Ferraro and Wennberg will serve as alternate captains for all road games."
The San Jose Sharks will begin the 2025-26 season without a captain and will use five alternate captains instead. The designated alternates are Tyler Toffoli, Alexander Wennberg, Barclay Goodrow, Mario Ferraro, and Macklin Celebrini. Toffoli will wear an A for all games; Goodrow and Celebrini will serve as alternates at home; Ferraro and Wennberg will serve as alternates on the road. Celebrini will wear an A for the first time in the NHL and is entering his second season. Ferraro is entering the final year of his contract and will become an unrestricted free agent next summer. The Sharks last went without a captain in 2014-15, and Logan Couture, the previous captain from 2019 to 2025, is unable to play again due to a chronic groin/pelvic injury.
