SJHN Daily: What Did Sharks Do on Vacation? Guerin Wants Trump at 4 Nations Final
The San Jose Sharks are back at practice today, after more than a week off.
The Sharks did not have a representative at the 4 Nations Face-Off, so many of their players enjoyed a needed vacation.
Tyler and Cat Toffoli went to Hawaii with the Dallas Stars defenseman Cody Ceci, Colorado Avalanche goalie Mackenzie Blackwood, and other Sharks.
Besides the ex-Sharks, Luke Kunin, Timothy Liljegren, and Jake Walman also enjoyed the Aloha State.
Canadian Toffoli says that he watched Saturday’s USA-Canada’s 4 Nations contest with American Kunin…no wagers involved!
Nico Sturm and fiancee Taylor Turnquist traveled to Puerto Vallarta.
Alexandar Georgiev was also in Mexico, at Cabo San Lucas.
Marc-Edouard Vlasic said that he went on a lot of day trips, highlighted by a trip to Napa and Michelin-starred restaurant French Laundry.
Macklin Celebrini and fellow Calder Trophy-hopeful Lane Hutson both showed out for their alma mater at the Beanpot.

Celebrini even got the Boston University crowd going.

Both Will Smith and Celebrini were at the Beanpot, cheering on their respective sides, with Celebrini’s Boston University topped Smith’s Boston College 4-1.
The Terriers’ victory means that Celebrini is going to get his revenge on Will Smith: Celebrini was forced to wear Smith’s Eagles jersey in January, after BC beat BU in a weekend series. Now? Smith will have to return the favor.
Celebrini, Smith, and Ty Dellandrea also went to Arizona to golf; Celebrini said that none are particularly good golfers.
Finally, last but not least, Mario Ferraro got married!
He told SJHN before the break that he was eloping with McKenna Olson in Sea Ranch on Feb. 13.
What a beautiful way to spend your Valentine’s Day!
