The Comeback Kid

At 21 years old, Sidney Crosby is the face of the National Hockey L eague. On July 30, 2005, the phenom Crosby arrived to the American hockey world as he was drafted first overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins. In just his first year in the NHL he was elected assistant captain of the Penguins, and then in 2007 was named captain, and became the youngest captain ever in the NHL. In just three years of being in the NHL he has almost 300 points and has achieved some of the highest honors in all of hockey.

Born in Nova Scotia in 1987, Crosby began playing hockey in his basement at the age of two, and then first stepped on the ice at the age of three. When Crosby got on the ice he was an immediate prodigy averaging almost 8 points per game. For Sidney Crosby’s freshmen year of high school he attended Shattuck- Saint Mary’s Boarding School in Minnesota leading his team to the U.S. National Championship. From 2003- 2005 Crosby played in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, then in the summer of 2005 Crosby signed with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Sidney Crosby began his career in the NHL at the age of 18, but his lack of experience did not hold him back from becoming one of the top scorers in the NHL in 2005 and still continues to be a top spot holder.

From September 2005 to February 2008 Crosby’s #87 jersey was the top seller on the NHL website. Sidney has endorsement deals with Gatorade and Reebok, which makes him one of the most advertised players in the U.S. In 2007, Crosby was nominated as one of the most influential people in TIME magazine. Due to Crosby, the popularity gain of hockey in the United States has increased greatly. In almost all arenas Sidney Crosby plays at, sell out crowds are there to see this young star in action.

Not only has Sidney Crosby brought success to the NHL but also to his team the Pittsburgh Penguins. He brought his team to the Stanley Cup Finals, leading the playoff series with most point scored. In 2007 Crosby signed a five year 43.5 million dollar deal with the Penguins, promising them that he will be there til the 2012-2013 season. Although the Penguins have had a struggling year, and are currently in 13th place, Sidney Crosby continues to shine. With ongoing injuries not allowing Sidney to play in every game, he is currently 3rd in the the league with total points. At only 21 Sidney Crosby has accomplished more than many do in their entire lives, and as he gets older we can only expect more greatness. As Crosby and the NHL continue on, the outlook only looks brighter.
