Sydney Crosby is my favourite hockey player ever.He is a Canadian proffessional ice hockey player.Sydney Crosby plays for the Pitsburgh Penguins of the N.H.L. .Sydney Crosby started playing hockey in his basement at only 2 years old he ruined there family clothes dryer badly during the process.when he was 3 he learned how to skate and when he turned 7 he gave his first news paper interview.At thirteen, the Nova Scotia Minor Hockey Council refused to allow him to play Midget hockey, alongside seventeen year olds.so his parents sued and they lost.when he was 14, he appeared on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Hockey Day in Canada, and scored 217 regular season and playoff points to lead his Midget AAA team, the Dartmouth Subways, to second place in the Air Canada Cup.Other players became very very jelouse of his talent and so he had to play through there constant attempts to injure him.Other parents kept on taunting and threatening him so much he decided not to wear his jersey between tournament games so that he wouldnt be recognized.Partly because of how people mistreated him he left the country to play for a renowned hockey program in minnesota for the 2002-2003 hockey season and while he was there he lead the sabres to the U.S. National Championships.
Sydney Crosby was selected first overall in the midget draft by the Rimouski Océanic of the QMJHL. In his first exhibition game he scored eight points,wich lead to his teammates nicknaming him "Darryl" (reffering to Darryl sittler and his 10 points game).
