The latest major update on the San Jose Sharks captain is that Logan Couture stepped away from professional hockey in April 2025 because of ongoing injury issues related to osteitis pubis. He remained under contract through the 2026-27 season, but the Sharks later moved to a leadership-by-committee approach instead of naming a new captain for 2025-26.[1][6]
Couture said he was no longer able to play hockey and thanked the Sharks organization and fans for their support. The team announced the news on April 15, 2025.[1]
By October 2025, San Jose chose not to name a replacement captain and instead rotated five alternate captains: Tyler Toffoli, Alexander Wennberg, Barclay Goodrow, Mario Ferraro, and Macklin Celebrini. That marked the first time since 2014-15 that the Sharks went without a designated captain.[4][6]
Couture had been the Sharks’ captain since the 2019-20 season and was one of the franchise’s most accomplished players. His departure closed a long chapter for the team’s leadership core.[1]
