For those that may not know, Sidney Crosby is a young professional hockey player whom currently plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins of
the National Hockey league (NHL). He was the first pick overall of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft and one of the leading scorers during the
2005-06 NHL season finishing 6th in scoring with 102 points.
He is often known as the Next One and certainly is star player material
as in his first season alone he led his team in scoring and has already broken team records set by Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux, and
league records such as being the youngest player to reach the 100 point mark in their rookie season.
Sidney Crosby has been viewed by many as hockey's next great talent, one who might be good enough to rival Wayne Gretzky and Mario
Lemieux, a title that many young up and coming stars have been given but have never been able to live up to.
During the past season, Crosby continued to build upon his rookie successes, still earning many firsts and continuing to break both team and league
records. In October, Crosby scored his first NHL hat trick against the Philadelphia Flyers and then later in December
he recorded his first six point game of his career (against the Philadelphia Flyers again).After this six point game,
he led the NHL in scoring for the remainder of the season, and eventualy becoming the first teenager to lead the NHL in
scoring since Wayne Gretzky in 1980.
At the young age of 19 led the NHL with 120 points (36 goals, 84 assists) to win the Art Ross Trophy
and he lead the Penguins to a 47-24-11 record and their first playoff game since the 2000-2001 season. His leadership was
also recognized by the team, as they named him the team Captain in May making him the youngest team captain in NHL history.
Crosby has recently been awarded the 2007 Lou Marsh Award, he is the first hockey player to capture the
honour since 1993 when it was presenred to
Mario Lemieux. The award is given annually to Canada's outstanding athlete by the Toronto Star.
Last season Crosby became the youngest NHL player to win the Art Ross Trophy as the league's
scoring champion and only the seventh player in league history to capture the Ross-Pearson-Hart all in the same season.
