Direct answer: I don’t have current tool access in this turn, but I can summarize recent public context about the Sharks’ captaincy up to late 2025 and what’s been reported most recently.
As of late 2024 and into 2025, the Sharks had moved away from a fixed captaincy, naming alternates rather than a single long-term captain. This approach followed leadership transitions after the 2013-14 era and was reaffirmed in various reports through 2025. This context suggests there wasn’t a singular, enduring captain heading into the 2025-26 season.[3][6]
In late 2025 and into 2026, discussion around team leadership continued to reference alternates and potential future captain selections, with reporting centering on leadership roles rather than a single “captain” designation. If the team elected a captain for 2025-26 or beyond, that news would appear in official Sharks communications or major sports outlets.[4][8]
