In a story by Tom Gulitti of NHL.com , Warsofsky said he is ready to see where Celebrini can take the Sharks.
“He’s so driven,” Warsofsky told Gulitti at the 2024-25 South Carolina Stingrays Fan Fest at North Charleston Coliseum on Saturday. “I think at times we’re going to have to reel him back just because he wants to go, go, go, but he’s a super competitive, self-driven young person, which you don’t see a lot this day and age. That’s what impressed me the most.”
His drive to be first in everything and challenge others has been echoed throughout the Sharks franchise. Director of Player Development Todd Marchant said a similar thing following the 2024 Prospect Scrimmage.
Warsofsky then hinted at the chance of Celebrini becoming a team captain in the not so far future.
