Day 160: Sidney Crosby


He's hot! (I think he's a good hockey player too!..haha)

That's all I have to say about him. Ok, I can stop drooling now and write something about him. Sid the Kid, that's what some people call him. He helped the Pittsburg Penguins win the Stanley Cup. He celebrated his 21st birthday in his hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia with the Stanley Cup. So young and accomplished so much. There are many players that aim for the Stanley Cup but never achieve that goal. I'm sure there was a little push from his parents. So determined from a young age. He was involved with Timbits Minor Hockey programs since he was young.

There are many things that are great about him (besides his good looks). From the interviews in the documentary tonight on TSN, his coaches describe him as low key, dedicated to his sport, has great sportsmanship, humble and an excellent hockey player. The documentary was on Sid the Kid vs Oveckin. It was quite interesting. Both of them started hockey at a young age. Both of them reached the 100 point mark at about the same time. At the Vancouver Olympics, Crosby will be playing for Canada and Oveckin will be playing for the Russian team. It will be an exciting match!
