What Secrets Make Sharks’ Macklin Celebrini Hockey’s Most Electrifying New Prodigy?
Looking back, this is a natural next step for both of them.
Celebrini moved from Vancouver to California when his dad took the Warriors job and then progressed through a series of top hockey factories, going from Shattuck-St. Mary’s prep school in Minnesota to the USHL’s Chicago Steel to the Boston University Terriers before getting drafted by the Sharks.
For those who crossed paths with him along the way, it’s only natural to see Celebrini’s name quickly shoot up the NHL’s scoring chart.
“I’ve seen it since he was seven years old playing against my little brother and scoring five goals every game,” said Boston Bruins forward Fraser Minten. “I’m not really surprised, to be honest. He’s such a stud. He works super hard. Super competitive guy, too, so he doesn’t really have any holes in his game with all of the skill he has. It makes for, like people have been saying, that kind of Crosby-like player. He’s got it all. Super competitive, good kid.
