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.

Crosby continues to build upon his early NHL successes, still earning many firsts and continuing to break both team and league records. 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.
