"SAN JOSE San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini joined elite company on Wednesday as he was officially named to the Canadian team's roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina. The 19-year-old Celebrini was the youngest player named to the Canadian team, which includes Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid, Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar of the Colorado Avalanche, and several other top NHL players."
"Celebrini, a native of North Vancouver, British Columbia, and a former player with the Jr. Sharks, made a convincing case over the last three months to be named to the team, as he entered Wednesday as the NHL's third-leading scorer with 60 points in 39 games. With 21 goals and 39 assists, Celebrini has been involved in exactly half of the Sharks' 120 goals this season,"
"Celebrini's production has actually increased in the weeks leading up to Wednesday's announcement. Celebrini had 37 points in 26 games through October and November, but in 13 games so far this month, he has seven goals and 16 assists."
