Sidney Crosby Special To Debut Thursday On ROOT Sports

The private side of Penguins star Sidney Crosby – a side so few fans and media see – will be the focus of a new PensTV video special that debuts Thursday night on ROOT Sports, following the Penguins’ preseason game at Detroit.

"There’s No Place Like Home” features exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of Crosby this summer in his hometown of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, where he hosted the inaugural Sidney Crosby Hockey School and prepared for the challenges of his 11th NHL season with fellow Cole Harbour native Nathan MacKinnon.

Pens TV cameras spent an entire week with Crosby and MacKinnon, a star with the Colorado Avalanche, documenting the intensity of their off-season workouts – and providing insight to both their friendship and competitiveness.
