COLE HARBOUR, Nova Scotia -- As a young man, Sidney Crosby hardly ever walked the streets of his hometown.
He either spent his time at the rink or school, or playing street hockey in front of his parents' house or in a parking lot of a local church.
For the second time in his NHL career, the 28-year-old captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins strolled those same streets of Cole Harbour on Friday and Saturday with the Stanley Cup in hand for all to see and enjoy. After all, he said it was this community, its people and his family that helped shape him into the person he is today, which is arguably the greatest hockey player in the world.
