The expected No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft, Celebrini has seen athletic success up close over the years with his dad working for a number of professional sports teams.
Draymond Green didn't want to go to dinner or out on the town. He had another idea: going to the suburbs to watch junior hockey."I was like, really? You wanna go?" Rick Celebrini said to Green."I mean, it's actually not close to where we stay with the team."The 2024 NHL draft will take place June 28-29 in Las Vegas, and the draft lottery will be held May 7.
"It was amazing. But afterward his coach told me, Macklin needs a break after this," his mom, Robyn, recalled."Like, hide his skates for two weeks, keep him off the ice.""That lasted two days," she said, with a smile. It didn't help that the local hockey club was within walking distance. Robyn eventually succumbed to Macklin's pleas.
From an early age, Macklin was determined to reach the highest levels -- and began to differentiate himself."Every step of the way he has set goals that seem almost unreachable," Rick Celebrini said."And each step of the way he's surprised us." The head of one NHL scouting department told ESPN that Macklin was"as complete a prospect as there is" and said he's more than ready to make an impact in the NHL next season.
The family is extremely close, texting and supporting each other constantly. In his interview with ESPN, Macklin wanted to make sure he gave love to his mom, citing her as the one who keeps it all together.
