SJHN Daily: Sharks Interested in Ekman-Larsson, Celebrini & Smith Read to Kids
Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, and Zack Ostapchuk took over an elementary school on Thursday afternoon.
The San Jose Sharks trio, joined by Dan Rusanowsky and Team Canada Olympic gold medalist Rebecca Johnston, headed to Bachrodt Elementary School in San Jose to read to students, as part of the Sharks’ Reading Is Cool initiative. SJ Sharkie was also a big hit among the kids.
The book that Smith and Celebrini read was “The HOME Team: San Jose Sharks,” written by Holly Preston and illustrated by James Hearne. After Celebrini announced it was his favorite book, most of the kids in the classroom seconded that opinion.
You guys are making my day!”
(Almost) all the kids pick Macklin Celebrini’s favorite book as their favorite book!

Grier said Oilers' 2026 1st was definitely in play this Trade Deadline for the "right" player, sounds like a younger and cost-controlled (or with term) impact player
