HALIFAX — Sidney Crosby is welcoming the Stanley Cup to his native Nova Scotia for a third time.
Phil Pritchard, the Cup’s keeper, tweeted a photo Saturday night of Crosby hoisting the trophy above his head beside an airplane in Halifax.
On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Penguins shared a photo of their captain placing a stuffed, pink kitten on the Cup’s rim while making the rounds at a local children’s hospital.
“Sidney Crosby being Sidney Crosby,” the team tweeted.
Nick Cox, a spokesman for the IWK Health Centre, said he was among a handful of people at the hospital who knew about Sunday’s special guest in advance.
