Kirsch Shines, Celebrini Shines Too

Christian Kirsch, the Sharks’ fourth-round pick in 2024, just won the Memorial Cup with Kitchener, going 4-0 in the playoffs with a .95+ save percentage — a massive leap from his NAHL season. Standing 6’4” and hailing from Switzerland, he’s headed to Quinnipiac next year. Meanwhile, Macklin Celebrini lit up the World Championships, finishing second in scoring with 14 points, earning best forward and media all-star honors despite Canada’s lack of a medal. Off the ice, Will Smith crushed the Home Run Derby at Drake Maye’s Celebrity Softball Game, and Sharks assistant coach Jeff Ulmer’s penned a children’s book. The Sharks also extended qualifying offers to four 2025 draft prospects, locking in future talent. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
