The San Jose Sharks are hosting a unique event where players' fathers are accompanying the team during games, underscoring the importance of family in sports. During a recent 2-1 victory over the Penguins, Macklin Celebrini expressed his thrill at scoring in front of his father while facing his idol, Sidney Crosby. Defenseman Henry Thrun reminisced about playing catch with his dad post-practice, evoking early childhood memories. Coach Warsofsky noted that such engagements allow players to reconnect with their roots, celebrating the sacrifices parents made during their children's journey to the top-level league.
It's amazing. Anytime you get to play against him, it's just a really unique experience... It's awesome to have all the dads around.
I haven't done that with him, probably since he was my coach when we were seven years old... pretty cool to be on the ice with him.
All teams do it with the mothers and the fathers... they get to share this.
You're going to the cold rinks in Saskatchewan, Ontario... you get to tie your kid's skates.
