It's opening night player introductions. The house lights go dark, the Shark head lowers, and the fog machine starts pumping.

Danny Miller introduces your 2026 San Jose Sharks one by one, but when they reach Macklin, the Danny pauses: "Ladies and gentlemen, to present the official jersey for your 2026–27 San Jose Sharks... please welcome 4-time NBA Champion, Stephen Curry!"

Steph walks out onto the ice on a teal carpet to a deafening ovation, carrying a folded Sharks sweater in his hands.

Macklin skates out as the last player. Steph meets him at center ice, hands the jersey over to him, and they share a hug. Macklin unfolds it, turns it around, and the jumbotron zooms in on the newly stitched "C" on the chest as the Tank erupts. Steph pulls out his signature "Night Night" gesture to the opposing bench just to hype up the crowd before walking off.
