Macklin Celebrini to decide on next season soon

Macklin Celebrini has a big decision to make: Play with the Sharks or return to Boston University. The 18-year-old is eligible to play in the NCAA this upcoming season. However, he could also turn pro and head to the Sharks’ training camp in the fall.

Either way, Celebrini has a big decision to make. ESPN quoted the young star as follows:

“It’s coming up. I’ll make the decision pretty quick here.”

Despite it still being early in the summer, Celebrini needs to focus on what he intends to do next season. With that in mind, Celebrini stated:

"Just trying to enjoy this camp, and after that I guess it’s time to make a decision."

The Hobey Baker winner could spend another season honing his craft in the NCAA. Considering how he dominated the league last season, turning pro may be the wisest choice for his development. A positive experience at the Sharks’ prospect camp may sway his decision to turn pro.

“It’s been good. They were out there supporting today. From everything I’ve heard, they are some of the best fans in the league. I’m excited to start playing in front of them,” Celebrini concluded his thoughts.

Sharks fans hope to see Celebrini in action sooner rather than later. With the moves the club has made, the Sharks are poised to exit the NHL basement this season.
