Sidney Crosby reached the pinnacle of his profession and childhood dreams at 21 years old by winning a Stanley Cup during the 2008-2009 season.

Funny how things don't always turn out the way you want them to, no matter how hard you or others try to make it happen.
Much of what Crosby could have become, we'll never know because of the concussion he suffered at the Winter Classic.
