Got a fan email from Julie of Hamilton, ONT the other day telling us about her young two year old “Young Crosby Fan” and how much he loves Crosby. It included this link to a pretty cute little video that we thought we would share, when he is skating around the rink with the puck, his Granfather asks him if he is going to be the next Gretzky …. but listen to his response!!

“Only in Canada can they skate before being toilet trained!”

Sidney Crosby, Penguins advance

Four day Team Canada Olympic camp concludes

admin — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 04:05:09 +0000

As the four day Team Canada Olympic camp came to a close it was reasonable to assume that a number of things will need to happen during the early stages of the hockey season to help complete Steve Yzerman’s vision for Team Canada before he goes ahead and makes the final selections for the Olympic Team in December. There is a lot of pressure for Team Canada this year, performing on home ice and especially after coming home without medals at the last Olympic tournament. The camp in Calgary did offer a few hints or possibilities of how some players currently stand on the Olympic Team. As camp was wrapping up, Yzerman did acknowledge that there was a logic to the line pairings that they tested.

I think its safe to say that Crosby will not be snubbed this year and we will look forward to seeing him lead the team to Gold just like he led the Penguins to the Stanley Cup last year.

I want as many people as possible to be part of this day.” The parade is scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. at the Portland Hills bus terminal and head down to Cole Harbour Place where Sidney played hockey when he was younger.

Fans will have a chance to get their picture taken with the Cup, however due to the overwhelming demand, 87 special people (who have winning tickets from a charity raffle) will be able to get their picture taken with the Cup and Sidney Crosby as well.

DALLAS (AP) — Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby missed his third straight game Sunday because of a groin injury.

Crosby, who began the day third in the NHL scoring race with 79 points, was injured a week earlier in a game against the Washington Capitals.

Crosby skated Sunday morning before the Penguins faced the Dallas Stars and said he felt better, but not well enough to play in a game.
