Sharks’ Macklin Celebrini receives individual awards at hockey worlds<\/p>\n

San Jose Sharks<\/a> star Macklin Celebrini came up short of a medal at the men’s hockey world championships<\/a>, but he did walk away with two individual honors on Sunday, May 31.<\/p>\n

The Canadian captain was named the tournament’s best forward by the International Ice Hockey Federation directorate. He also was one of the three forwards named to the media all-star team.<\/p>\n

Celebrini, who turns 20 in June, ranked second in the tournament with 14 points, one behind Switzerland’s Sven Andrighetto. He was tied for the second-most goals with six.<\/p>\n

He had one of the plays of the tournament with a long backhand flip pass that led to a Dylan Holloway goal against Finland.<\/p>\n

Celebrini was named captain before the tournament and held the position even after the arrival of Sidney Crosby.<\/p>\n

Canada, which was upset by Norway in last year’s quarterfinals, won its seven preliminary round games and beat the defending champion United States<\/a> in the quarterfinal.<\/p>\n

But it lost to Finland<\/a> in the semifinals and to Norway in the bronze medal game to finish without a medal for the third year in a row.<\/p>\n

Celebrini also represented Canada in the last year’s world championships and in the Olympics.<\/p>\n

He had a standout second season with the Sharks, setting a team single-season scoring record<\/a> and being named a finalist for the Ted Lindsay Award<\/a>. He’s eligible to receive a contract extension on July 1.<\/p>\n
