Macklin and his brother Aiden Celebrini brought a stick and jersey and stayed for a long visit. Mavrik was in and out of sleep but continued to tell Macklin to lay in his bed with him. Which was very cute, and Mavrik was very happy. He has been playing as Macklin on NHL since his visit. The Sharks are lucky to have him!! [x] [GoFundMe]
macklin celebrini is the most loved 19-year-old in the world right now. if will ever does anything to hurt mack, he will have all of team canada on his doorstep ready to beat his ass
clock it, anon. that’s their baby, and any future suitor will have to deal with shovel talks from over 20 of the best and most terrifying hockey players on earth
Okay hear me out. I like Heated Rivalry, it’s a great show and yes the statistics are there that there must be closeted NHL players. I also like that because people are interacting with HR that they are seeing NHL content and also getting into the sport.
Being an NHL fan is great and I’m happy the fan base is growing but you cannot claim any close friends playing in the NHL are ‘real life’ Shane and Ilya. You can’t. I’ve seen it a lot recently with Will and Macklin from SJ Sharks where people are openly commenting on Instagram and TikTok comparing them to HR. Those two have a really special friendship and we should all be grateful they’re comfortable enough with each other to show it publicly.
This? Comparing them to Shane and Ilya? Publicly telling Will Smith ‘you know it’s okay to be gay’ is not acceptable. These are real people with real feelings. This isn’t a book. They don’t owe you their sexuality and it’s no one’s business but their own. Please leave NHL players alone 😭 they’re just doing their jobs with their besties and don’t deserve to feel uncomfortable doing it.
Obvs keeping things to closed fandom spaces is slightly different, but insta and mainstream social media? Come on guys we’re better than this
when you've just led your team to the greatest comeback in franchise history and sidney crosby called you one of the best players in the league and the rest of your team is celebrating like you made the playoffs but all you can think about is will smith
sanjosehockeynow: William Eklund’s mom, Mia, is doing trendy TikTok videos with Will Smith’s mom, Colleen!
Eklund and Smith react! Will #WillMack make a similar video?
spoiler alert: Will says no. But you never know lol
Carlos' little brothers send him a video message, he gets emotional
I accidentally stumbled upon this video, and it was so sweet I had to share it with you all. I added English subtitles, and I'll also leave the full transcription below, along with a link to the video.
It's an interview he did with the Real Federación Española de Tenis on April 19, 2020. Carlos was 16 years old. Sergio was 10, and Jaime was 8.
Transcription in English:
Host:
Carlos, do you remember that at the beginning of the program I told you we had a little surprise for you? A little surprise... let's see how you handle it. If it’s okay with everyone, let’s ask them to send us that question and that small surprise we’ve prepared — whenever you’re ready.
[Video message]
Sergio:
Hi! We’re Sergio and Jaime Alcaraz. We train at the Club de Campo in Murcia, and we’re Carlos’s brothers. We want to send both of you a very big hug and congratulate Carlos for everything he has achieved so far. We’re very proud of you, and we miss you a lot at home. We also want to congratulate Juan Carlos for his entire sports career and tell him that he’s very nice.
Jaime:
Our first question is for Carlos: Which two tournaments would mean the most to you to win in the future? And the second question is for Juan Carlos: When and why did you decide to become a coach?
Thank you very much.
Sergio:
Thank you very much.
*Carlos wipes his eyes*
Host:
See? I told you, I told you, Carlos — you got emotional seeing your little brothers, huh?
Carlos:
*laughs* Yeah, a little bit, to be honest.
Host:
Well, that’s perfectly normal man, no problem. You miss them, and they miss you too. *Carlos wipes his eyes again, smiles* But have you seen them — they were so happy and asked their questions so well, didn’t they? I think someone might have been holding the question card behind the camera!
Carlos:
Yeah, yeah, they really did it well, they did.
Host:
They asked good questions, and — man, cheer up a bit! I mean I guess these are tears of joy, from seeing them so well and so strong, no?
Carlos:
Yes, yes, from seeing them... and also because… I don’t usually say a lot of those kinds of things to my brothers. Like I love you, I miss you. So hearing those kinds of words from my little brothers, yeah… it gets me a bit emotional *he says softly, looking touched*
[...]
Host:
I’ll tell you something — we didn’t ask them to do this. They sent in the question themselves, and suddenly my colleagues at the Federation told me, "Hey, Carlos’s brothers sent something in". And I said, "Well, let’s set it aside, because this one is going to be really special for him"
Juan Carlos:
And I think he needed that a bit too... a little message of affection from his brothers.
the way you can see the instant the words hit carlos.....
like, he was starting to smile softly but when the "always choose you" lands... he nods quickly, the smile drops, and he looks down. when he looks up again you can see he's feeling the weight of those words. such small facial expressions, but they say so much. like.... look at his face oh carlitos.....
