How it started.
Born in North Vancouver, Macklin developed through Shattuck-St. Mary’s before joining the Chicago Steel. In 2022-23 he led the USHL with 46 goals and 86 points, setting the league’s scoring record for a player under 17.
The college breakout.
At Boston University he played alongside his older brother Aiden. His freshman season brought 32 goals and 32 assists in 38 games, a Frozen Four appearance and the 2024 Hobey Baker Award. At 17, he became the award’s youngest winner.
From draft day to San Jose.
The Sharks selected him first overall in 2024, and he scored seven minutes into his NHL debut that October. He became a Calder Trophy finalist after his first season. In 2026 he won Olympic silver with Canada and took on the Sharks captaincy.
