SidneyCrosby

Sidney Crosby was selected at the top of the 2005 draft by Pittsburgh and has stayed with the Penguins, playing centre in the NHL. A Canadian from Cole Harbour, he brought a left shot to the position and soon turned the weight of that draft slot into a breakthrough. Stanley Cup and Hart Memorial Trophy success followed, alongside other major individual honours. Pittsburgh has been his only NHL club, while Canada has provided the international stage. Now his NHL regular-season totals read 1,420 appearances and 1,761 points. Those figures capture a career that began with enormous expectation and has produced sustained output. He is still a centre for the Penguins, and his influence there endures well into a long career.
