San Jose Sharks rookie Macklin Celebrini will play against his hometown Vancouver Canucks on Monday
Macklin Celebrini #71 of the San Jose Sharks looks on during the first period against the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena on Nov. 30, 2024 in Seattle, Washington. VANCOUVER, British Columbia — When San Jose Sharks rookie centerman Macklin Celebrini was younger, he and his older brother Aiden sometimes got to skate on the ice surface at Rogers Arena.“It was probably eight to 12,” Celebrini, a North Vancouver native, said of his age at the time.
Celebrini’s father, Rick, used to work for the Canucks in health sciences, meaning the children would often be inside the arena for games. Celebrini will have dozens of friends and family members in attendance Monday, including his parents, his older brother Aiden, a Canucks prospect, plus his two younger siblings, brother R.J. and sister Charlie. Rick Celebrini, the Warriors’ director of sports medicine and performance, took some time away from the team’s road trip to be in Vancouver.
“I was sad. I didn’t want to leave,” Celebrini said. “It’s my hometown and I was here my whole life, so making that move wasn’t easy.” The Celebrini’s didn’t set out to move close to the North Shore Winter Club, but Rick said it wound up being “our sort of cul de sac, so to speak, or our open ice or outdoor ice.
