COLE HARBOUR, Nova Scotia — In most years, July would represent the heart of the offseason for Sidney Crosby. But winning the Stanley Cup throws that usual schedule out of whack.
Would he have it any other way?
The Penguins captain is in his hometown for the second Sidney Crosby Hockey School at Cole Harbour Place, a community center where he played youth hockey. A little more than a month since leading the Penguins to their fourth Stanley Cup championship, the Conn Smythe Trophy winner will get to spend two days with the silver vessel this weekend, including a parade Saturday through Cole Harbour.
