Macklin Celebrini, the 19-year-old San Jose Sharks sensation, grabbed attention for all the right reasons off the puck last week. During a road game against the Edmonton Oilers last Thursday, he drew a high-sticking penalty on Matthias Ekholm. But here's the twist. The stick never actually hit him.
What did Macklin Celebrini do during the game against the Oilers?
Instead of celebrating the power play in his favor, Celebrini did something rare.
He protested to the officials, urging them to call it off. His teammates admitted they'd never seen a player fight against their own advantage like that at any level of hockey.
Sharks alternate captain Mario Ferraro raved about Celebrini's character, saying he doesn't cheat the game on or off the ice. Coach Ryan Warsofsky called it a sign of his respect for hockey, adding that for a teenager, it speaks volumes about who he is as a person. Zach Ostapchuk agreed, noting he plays with real integrity. This moment echoes a famous play four years ago when Colorado's Cale Macker convinced refs to rescind a tripping call against the Islanders. Ferraro, who played college hockey with Makar, said guys like them earn league-wide respect by staying honest. Celebrini shrugged it off, saying he'll never sell a call or go down easy. That's just not his style. At 19, he's already commanding huge respect in the locker room and beyond.
