According to Jonathan Becher, the president of Sharks Sports & Entertainment, there has been a surge in ticket sales and demand for No. 71 jerseys for the San Jose Sharks' upcoming game against the Chicago Blackhawks on October 31st. This increase in excitement can be attributed to the recent signing of Macklin Celebrini to an entry-level contract with the team.
Becher took to social media on Saturday afternoon to share the news about the team's newest addition. He mentioned that there has been an incredible demand for Celebrini jerseys and they have already restocked several sizes to accommodate the fans. While the news about the jersey sales cannot be immediately confirmed, an employee at the Sharks' team store chose not to comment on the matter.
The highly anticipated game against the Blackhawks will also feature the top draft picks from the past two years. Chicago's Connor Bedard, who was the No. 1 overall pick last year, will face off against San Jose's own top pick, Macklin Celebrini, from the recent draft in Las Vegas. As of Saturday afternoon, tickets for the game ranged from $30 to $131 on Ticketmaster.
Fans can also show their support for the Sharks' top prospects, Celebrini and Will Smith, by purchasing their jerseys online or at the team store at SAP Center. Celebrini will wear No. 71 while Smith will sport No. 2 for the team. The Sharks will kick off their regular season at home on October 10th against the St. Louis Blues.
In other Sharks news, there has been speculation about where Will Smith will fit on the roster after the team's recent additions. Fans turned out in large numbers to show their support for Macklin Celebrini at a recent scrimmage, and there is no doubt that the excitement will continue to grow as the season approaches. Smith has been working hard to get bigger and stronger before his first professional season.
Lastly, Sharks prospect David Edstrom, who was acquired in a trade involving Tomas Hertl, has revealed that he will be heading back to Sweden for the 2024-25 season. While fans may have to wait a few more years to see him in action, they can look forward to seeing him in a Sharks jersey in the future. The team is constantly looking for ways to improve and strengthen their roster, and the addition of Celebrini and the potential of prospects like Smith and Edstrom only adds to the excitement for the upcoming season.
