The Sharks have named their leadership group for the upcoming 2025-26 season. The Sharks will forgo naming a captain and instead operate with five alternates throughout the season.
Tyler Toffoli will be the main alternate captain for both home and away games, while Mario Ferraro and Alex Wennberg will serve as alternates for road games, and Barclay Goodrow and Macklin Celebrini will serve as alternates for home games.
The Sharks' decision not to name a captain isn’t much of a surprise; they have spent much of the past two seasons without a captain on the ice, though technically Couture was still the captain, even though he was not expected to contribute much at any point last year.
