SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks will go without a captain this season, announcing Wednesday that they will instead have five alternate captains for this year.
The Sharks will have Tyler Toffoli, Alexander Wennberg, Barclay Goodrow, Mario Ferraro, and Macklin Celebrini as the team’s alternate captains.
The last time the Sharks went without a captain was during the 2014-15 season.
Logan Couture was the Sharks captain from 2019 to 2025 before he announced in April that he would be unable to play again due to a chronic groin/pelvic area injury.
Toffoli, Wennberg, Goodrow, and Ferraro also served as alternates last season. Celebrini, a cornerstone of the Sharks franchise and likely a future captain of the team, is entering his second NHL season.
The list of full-time Sharks captains includes Doug Wilson (1991-1993), Bob Errey (1993-1995), Jeff Odgers (1995-1996), Todd Gill (1996-1998), Owen Nolan (1998-2003), Patrick Marleau (2005-2009), Rob Blake (2009-2010), Joe Thornton (2010-2014), Joe Pavelski (2015-2019) and Couture (2019-2025). Marleau, Vincent Damphousse, Alyn McCauley and Mike Ricci shared the captaincy during the 2003-2004 season.
