À propos de cet audio

Sidney Crosby is ready to tell his story in his own words. As one of the greatest NHL players of all time, he reflects on his 2005-06 rookie season with the Pittsburgh Penguins. From a Canadian phenom dubbed “the next Gretzky” to an 18-year-old carrying the burden of a struggling franchise, he talks candidly about the intense pressure he was under, the surreal experience of lacing up alongside his childhood idol Mario Lemieux and the truth about his rivalry with Alex Ovechkin. Sidney Crosby, with the help of his family, coaches and former teammates, gives listeners an all-access pass to one of the most scrutinized and tumultuous rookie seasons in the history of professional hockey. Hosted by Pittsburgh native and Penguins fan Joe Manganiello.

About Sidney Crosby

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby is one of the most accomplished players in the history of the National Hockey League, having won three Stanley Cup championships, two NHL scoring titles, two Hart Trophies as the NHL’s MVP, and two Conn Smythe Trophies as the MVP of the Stanley Cup Playoffs through the first 17 years of his professional career.

The nine-time NHL All-Star has also starred internationally for Team Canada on several occasions, including winning gold medals in both the 2010 and 2014 Olympic Games, with his overtime goal in the 2010 gold medal game against the United States known as the ''Golden Goal.'' In May 2015, Crosby became the 26th player to enter the International Ice Hockey Federation’s (IIHF) Triple Gold Club, achieved by winning the Stanley Cup and gold medals at both the Olympics and World Championship.

Crosby, a two-time Emmy Award winner, has multiple commitments to community and charitable efforts. He founded both the Sidney Crosby Foundation and Sidney Crosby's Little Penguins program, which has provided free hockey equipment and lessons to over 13,000 youths in the Pittsburgh area since 2008. He has also purchased a private suite at PPG Paints Arena for over 15 years, which he has reserved for use by children's charities in the Pittsburgh area. Crosby is a native of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia.

I am a big hockey fan, Canadian hockey fan to be exact and I found this book very eye opening. It was interesting to hear about Crosby’s youth at home and in hockey. We saw him entering the NHL at the age of 18 but I don’t think I truly grasped how young that was at that time. To the fans he was a hockey player just entering the league, like many before him. I’m happy he has done so well for Canada and even the Penguins. He deserves to be respected for all he has done, he’s definitely earned it. Congratulations to Sidney!
Ps ( I once held a sign that said “Sidney marry my daughter”. At a Toronto Maple Leaf Game 😀

An excellent biography of Sidney’s first year with the Penguins with just enough introduction to explain why he was chosen as the most sought after rookie by all NHL teams. I just wish that Halifax would have had an NHL team so that he could have played here. However, we still think of Sidney as one of us since his roots are here and I like to think that his work ethics are founded in his Nova Scotia boyhood.
