Summary

A native of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, Sidney Crosby gave his first newspaper interview at the age of seven and hasn't looked back. Now one of the biggest sports stars on the planet, Sidney Crosby has already won an NHL scoring title, NHL MVP award, and Stanley Cup title. His legend only grew at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics when he scored the gold-medal-winning goal in overtime against the United States. And all this at just twenty-three years of age.
