Macklin Celebrini will lead Canada as captain at the upcoming World Championship in Switzerland. The 19-year-old forward earned the role after a standout season with the San Jose Sharks and a strong Olympic performance earlier this year.
Celebrini recorded 115 points in the NHL this season, finishing fourth in league scoring. He helped the Sharks compete for a playoff spot alongside teammate William Eklund. In February, he became the youngest Canadian ever selected for the Olympics and ranked among the tournament's top performers.
