Sidney Patrick Crosby Canadian hockey player,
center forward.
Sidney Crosby was born in
Cole Harbor, Nova Scotia, in
the family of Troy and Trine
Crosby. Sidney has a
younger sister Taylor. Father
Sidney was a goalkeeper
and played for Verdun
Junior Canadiens from
QMJHL. In 1984, he was
drafted by the Montreal
Canadiens team under the
overall 240 number, but he
never played in the NHL.
Sidney began to practice
with a stick and puck in the
basement of the parent's
house at the age of two. The
drying apparatus, standing
nearby, was put out of
action after the throws of
the future NHL star. In three
years, Sidney learned to
skate

From the age of 12 Crosby played for
various teams in the junior leagues of
Canada. In 2003, he began to play for
the team "Rimuski Osianik" in the
Main Junior Hockey League of Quebec
(QMJHL) - one of the three largest
junior Canadian hockey leagues.
As part of the "Rimuski Oceanic"
Crosby spent two full seasons:
2003/2004 and 2004/2005. In both of
them he received the titles of the best
scorer and the most valuable player
not only in QMJHL, but also in the
Canadian Hockey League (CHL), the
league that unites the three strongest
regional junior leagues of Canada. In
the 2004/2005 season, the Crosby
team also won the QMJHL
championship and was given the right
to play in the CHL champions
tournament under the name of the
Memorial Cup. However, in the final
match of this tournament, "Rimuski
Oceanic" lost to the team "London
Knights" with a score of 0: 4.
Between these two seasons, in August
2004, only Crosby, who celebrated his
17th birthday, received an offer from a
professional adult Hamilton team,
announced for participation in the
WWA, again revived on the occasion
of the lockout in the NHL. Crosby was
offered a three-year deal worth $ 7.5
million, but he rejected it, arguing that
he was not ready to play in a
professional team.

Sidney Crosby is a high-tech player,
equally good in both attack and
defensive action. Has a high level of
vision of the site and hockey
thinking, which allows the player
himself to go on strike positions, and
to bring their teammates to them.
Also, the player's strengths are good
skating and leadership qualities.
Crosby can take on the game and
lead the partners along. Unusual for
such talented players, the feature of
Crosby's hockey is his tendency to
fight a lot at the sides and in front of
the gate, where he often gets
punches with clubs. The game on the
"patch" allows Crosby to throw a lot
of "junk" goals with finishing and
punching the puck on the fly, but
some experts have expressed
concerns that this style may have a
negative impact on the late stages of
the player's career.
Being the central striker on the role,
confidently feels at the point of faceoff. Also, experts note Crosby's hard
work and his habit of working on
himself, improving his shortcomings.
To the weak sides of the player can
be attributed to his uneasy character
and increased propensity to injury,
and at the start of his career Crosby
was often accused of simulation and
had a reputation as "crybaby."

Crosby lived in the house of
Mario Lemieux together with his
family from 2005 to 2010. In the
spring of 2010 Crosby acquired
his own house in the same area.
Together with the company
Reebok Crosby has developed
and launched its own clothing
line - Rbk SC87.
Although Crosby is a hockey
player, his clothes are not
designed for hockey.
Photos of Sidney Crosby
appeared on the pages of the
November issue of GQ magazine
in 2005. And in 2007 he entered
the list of 100 most influential
people in the world according to
Time magazine. In 2008, he
appeared in the documentary
Pond Hockey, where he talked
about his experience playing
hockey on a frozen pond.
Sidney Crosby is not famous for
Lovelace and does not expose his
personal life to the show. His only
famous girl is the American
model Kathy Lutner, with whom
he has been in relationship since
2008.
