Sidney Crosby hosts his peewee team, gives them memory of a lifetime

It’s hard to believe but 20 years ago Sidney Crosby truly was Sid the Kid. Crosby was a superstar from even a young age and always seemed destined for the NHL.

Need proof? Just look at this little boy wonder:

Still, despite all the success Crosby has had in his career he’s remained humble and true to his roots. That’s why when his former peewee team from Nova Scotia was in Pittsburgh for a minor hockey tournament, Sid the Kid made sure they had the time of their lives.

Check out this post from Crosby’s former coach, talking about the hospitality that #87 showed the kids this past week:

“We had a rocky adventure getting to Pittsburgh but a great trip after that. The players won 2 games including the consolation final where they North Pittsburgh 3-1, who beat us 6-1 in the Round Robin. Most players got to see two Penguins games and some saw three. Today Sid took the players and families down to the dressing room after the game for a tour, took pictures and signed some items for the kids. A great experience of all. If you want to know why he’s the face of the NHL - he held the door open for every person and welcomed them as they entered the room, he took time with every person and he put up 7 points in 3 games while we were here!

How awesome is that!?

Pure class.
