The Sharks are without a permanent captain for the 2025–26 season, instead rotating five alternate captains. Logan Couture served as captain historically, but injuries have sidelined him, fueling discussion about future leadership choices. Recent reporting suggests Macklin Celebrini has been discussed as a potential long-term captain, though the team opted for a leadership group rather than a single C.[1][2][3][9]
Key points:
- 2024–25 leadership: Couture as captain, with an established group of alternates.[3]
- 2025–26 approach: rotation of multiple alternates instead of one captain, per AP and team reports.[7][9]
- Possible future captaincy: Celebrini has been highlighted by coaches and analysts as a potential future leader, though concrete decisions for the current season varied by report.[2][7]
