Sidney Patrick Crosby (born August 7, 1987) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. He plays as a centre and is the captain for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the National Hockey League (NHL). People often call him "Sid the Kid" or "The Next One". He was the very first player picked in the 2005 NHL entry draft.

Sidney Crosby grew up in Halifax, Canada. Many people think he is one of the best ice hockey players ever. Before joining the NHL, he played two years of junior hockey with the Rimouski Océanic. He won many awards and helped his team reach the 2005 Memorial Cup final. In 2019, his jersey number 87 was retired by his junior team and league.

Crosby started in the NHL during the 2005–06 season. He scored 102 points and was almost named the NHL Rookie of the Year. At just 18 years old, he became the youngest player to score 100 points in an NHL season. In his second season, he led the NHL with 120 points. He won the Art Ross Trophy for most points, becoming the youngest player to win a scoring title in any major North American sport. That same season, he won the Hart Memorial Trophy as the league's best player and the Lester B. Pearson Award (now Ted Lindsay Award) as the most outstanding player chosen by other players.

He became the Penguins' captain in the 2007–08 season. He led them to the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals, but they lost. The next year, in the 2009 Finals, they won the Stanley Cup. Crosby was the youngest captain in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup. He also led Pittsburgh to Stanley Cup wins in 2016 and 2017. He became only the third player to win the Conn Smythe Trophy (playoff MVP) two years in a row.

In 2009–10, he won the Maurice Richard Trophy for scoring the most goals (51). In 2017, he was named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players of all time.

Crosby has also played for Canada many times. He won gold at the 2005 World Junior Championships. He scored the winning goal in overtime at the 2010 Winter Olympics gold medal game. He captained Team Canada to another Olympic gold medal in 2014. A year later, he led Canada to gold at the World Championship. This made him a member of the Triple Gold Club, meaning he won the Stanley Cup, Olympic gold, and World Championship gold. He is the only player to have captained all three winning teams. In 2016, he captained Canada to gold at the World Cup of Hockey and was named MVP. In 2025, he captained Canada to a championship win in the inaugural 4 Nations Face-Off.

Early Life and Hockey Beginnings

Sidney Crosby was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on August 7, 1987. His jersey number (87) and a contract he signed for $8.7 million per year match his birthdate (8/7/87). He grew up in Cole Harbour and has a younger sister named Taylor.

His father, Troy, was a goaltender who played junior hockey. Troy was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens but never played in the NHL. Sidney started playing hockey in his basement at age two. He would shoot pucks into a net with the family dryer behind it. He learned to skate at age three.

From age 12 to 15, Crosby was a straight-A student at Astral Drive Junior High School. He was known for being kind to other students. At 15, he moved to Shattuck-Saint Mary's in Minnesota to play hockey. He graduated from Harrison Trimble High School in New Brunswick in 2005.

Minor Hockey Journey

Crosby started getting media attention for his hockey skills when he was very young. He gave his first newspaper interview at age seven. When he was 13, he was not allowed to play in a higher age group (midget, for 15-17 year olds). His family tried to change this but couldn't.

The next year, he played midget hockey with the Dartmouth Subways. He scored 217 points and led his team to second place at a national tournament. He was named MVP and Top Scorer at that event.

Crosby even appeared on Hockey Day in Canada when he was a midget player. He faced a lot of rough play and mean comments from opposing parents. Because of this, he decided to play for an American hockey program at Shattuck-Saint Mary's in Minnesota for the 2002–03 season. There, he scored 162 points in 57 games and helped his team win a national championship.

Junior Hockey Success (2003–2005)

The Rimouski Océanic picked Crosby first overall in the 2003 junior draft. In his first practice game, he scored eight points! His teammates nicknamed him "Darryl" after a famous player who scored ten points in a game.

In his first regular game, he scored a goal and two assists. He won many awards in his rookie season, including the league's leading scorer (135 points in 59 games). He was also named Rookie of the Year and MVP.

In the 2004–05 season, Crosby continued to shine. He led the league with 168 points (66 goals, 102 assists). His team, the Océanic, had the best record and won the President's Cup as league champions. Crosby led the playoffs with 31 points and was named MVP.

His team went to the 2005 Memorial Cup, a national junior tournament. They lost in the final, but Crosby was named to the All-Star team and was the top scorer with 11 points. In 2019, the Rimouski Océanic and the QMJHL retired his jersey number 87.

Pittsburgh Penguins Career

Becoming a Superstar (2005–2007)

Crosby in November 2006, after being designated an alternate captain

Sidney Crosby was the top pick in the 2005 NHL draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins. This draft was often called the "Sidney Crosby Lottery" because so many teams wanted him.

He made his NHL debut on October 5, 2005, getting an assist on his team's first goal. He scored his first NHL goal on October 8. Crosby started his rookie season playing with Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux.

Midway through his first season, Crosby was named an alternate captain for the Penguins. Some people thought he was too young for the role. Even though the Penguins finished last in their conference, Crosby had a great season. He set team records for assists (63) and points (102) for a rookie. He was the youngest player to reach 100 points in an NHL season. He finished second in rookie scoring to Alexander Ovechkin, starting a big rivalry between them.

Crosby in April 2007 during the 2007 Stanley Cup playoffs

In his second NHL season (2006–07), Crosby got even better. He scored his first NHL hat-trick on October 28, 2006. He finished the season with 120 points, becoming the youngest player to lead the NHL in scoring since Wayne Gretzky. He won the Art Ross Trophy, Hart Memorial Trophy, and Lester B. Pearson Award. The Penguins also improved, making the playoffs for the first time since 2001.

Captaincy and First Stanley Cup (2007–2009)

On May 31, 2007, Crosby became the Penguins' team captain. At 19 years old, he was the youngest captain in NHL history. He had actually turned down the captaincy earlier because he didn't feel ready. But after the playoffs, he felt more confident.

The Penguins signed Crosby to a five-year, $43.5 million contract extension in July 2007. In the 2007–08 season, he had a "Gordie Howe hat-trick" (a goal, an assist, and a fight). He also scored the winning goal in the NHL's first outdoor Winter Classic game.

However, Crosby suffered a high ankle sprain in January 2008 and missed many games. His teammate Evgeni Malkin stepped up during this time. With Crosby back and new player Marián Hossa, the Penguins made a strong playoff run. They reached the Stanley Cup Finals but lost to the Detroit Red Wings. Crosby tied for the playoff scoring lead with 27 points.

In the next season, Crosby reached 100 goals, 200 assists, and 300 points in his career. He finished third in league scoring. In the 2009 playoffs, the Penguins faced the Washington Capitals again. Crosby and Ovechkin both scored hat-tricks in one game. The Penguins won the series and then swept the Carolina Hurricanes.

They met the Detroit Red Wings again in the Stanley Cup Finals. This time, the Penguins won in seven games, and Crosby lifted his first Stanley Cup. He was the youngest NHL captain to win the Cup since 1895.

Injuries and More Cups (2009–2018)

In the 2009–10 season, Crosby tied for the league lead in goals with 51. He also won the Mark Messier Leadership Award. The Penguins lost in the second round of the playoffs that year.

Crosby's 200th NHL goal, November 27, 2010

In the 2010–11 season, Crosby had a 25-game point streak. He scored his 200th NHL goal during this time. However, in early 2011, he suffered a concussion and missed the rest of that season and most of the 2011–12 season. Even with his injury, he was still the Penguins' leading scorer that year.

Crosby returned to play in March 2012. The Penguins were expected to win the Stanley Cup, but they lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Philadelphia Flyers. Crosby was criticized for his actions and comments during that series.

In June 2012, Crosby signed a 12-year contract extension with the Penguins. The start of the 2012–13 season was delayed by a lockout. When the season began, Crosby was playing great. However, in March 2013, he broke his jaw after being hit by a puck and missed the rest of the regular season. He returned for the playoffs, scoring many points. The Penguins reached the Eastern Conference finals but were swept by the Boston Bruins.

He also won the Hart Memorial Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award again. The Penguins won their first playoff series but lost in the second round to the New York Rangers.

The 2015–16 season started slowly for Crosby and the Penguins. Some people wondered if his best years were over. But after a coaching change, Crosby turned his season around. He scored his 900th career point and was named the NHL's First Star of the Month in March. He finished the season with 85 points and was voted team MVP.

In the 2016 playoffs, the Penguins beat the Rangers and then the Washington Capitals.

They defeated the San Jose Sharks in six games, and Crosby won his second Stanley Cup. He also won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.

Crosby missed the first six games of the 2016–17 season due to another concussion. When he returned, he quickly reached 1,000 NHL points. He finished the season with 89 points and won his second Rocket Richard Trophy for most goals (44).

In the 2017 playoffs, the Penguins again faced the Capitals. Crosby suffered another concussion in game three but returned to play. The Penguins won the series and then beat the Ottawa Senators to reach the Stanley Cup Finals again. They defeated the Nashville Predators in six games, winning their second straight Stanley Cup. Crosby won his second consecutive Conn Smythe Trophy, becoming only the third player to do so.

Player Skills and Reputation

Crosby's Style of Play

Sidney Crosby is known for his amazing vision on the ice. He can see plays developing before others do. He's also very fast and can turn a defensive play into a scoring chance quickly.

Other NHL players often talk about his incredible backhand shot. Jonathan Quick, a famous goalie, said Crosby has "the best backhand shot" in the NHL. He can quickly switch from a forehand shot to a powerful backhand shot that goes right into the top of the net.

His Reputation in Hockey
