Celebrini Sends Carson Birthday Message After Sharks-Themed Party

celebrini turned a 4-year-old San Jose Sharks fan’s birthday party into a personal moment. Macklin Celebrini sent Carson a video after seeing the themed celebration last month.

The response came after Carson’s parents shared pictures of the party on social media. In the video posted by the NHLPA on Instagram, Celebrini opened with, “Hey Carson, It’s Macklin Celebrini here,” then added, “I just wanted to say I saw the video of your birthday party, that was awesome. Happy belated birthday. I hope you had an amazing day and hopefully see you at the Shark Tank at some point.”

Carson’s Sharks party

Carson’s party leaned fully into the Sharks theme. The setup included a decorated wall with a cutout of Celebrini, Sharks balloons, and the words, “He shoots, he’s four,” written on it.

He also wore hockey gear and shot at a mini net in a mini rink set up in the backyard. Those details made the birthday post easy to spot once it started moving around social media, and they gave Celebrini a clear reason to respond directly.

Celebrini’s video reply

Celebrini kept the message short and specific. He told Carson, “Hey Carson, It’s Macklin Celebrini here,” before thanking him for sharing the party and closing with a Sharks reference to the team’s home rink.

Carson answered after watching the video: “Hey Macklin, you made my birthday. Go Sharks.” That exchange is the whole story here — a child’s party went beyond a family post and became a direct back-and-forth with a Sharks forward.

For Sharks fans, the clip shows how quickly a young supporter can get noticed when a post lands in the right place. Carson got the reply he was hoping for, and Celebrini turned a themed birthday into a memory the 4-year-old could point to long after the balloons are gone.
