Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn about the inspirational story of Sidney Crosby In Sidney Crosby: A Biography of One of Hockey's Greatest Players you will learn about the life, professional career, and accomplishments of Sidney Crosby. In this biography you will read about Sidney Crosby's incredible life story. Crosby is currently among the most dominant players in the NHL. The former first-round draft pick has made a huge impact on professional hockey as a center for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Not only has he been the NHL MVP, but he has also led his team to a Stanley Cup championship. Crosby's talent was apparent early in his life when he played for the Cole Harbour Red Wings and the Rimouski Oceanic. Since entering the NHL, he has consistently been among the league's leading scorers. Sidney Crosby's career has not been without bumps in the road. He has dealt with various injuries and a concussion. Despite this, he continues to be a leader for the Penguins, as well as Team Canada. Read this biography to gain insight on the career, rivalries, and personal life of this hockey great. Here is a preview of this biography: Harbours and Castles To the World Stage To the Pros The Road to the Stanley Cup The Golden Goal Concussion and Aftermath Back to the Best 2014-15 to the Present Here is an excerpt from the book: With his growing résumé, Sidney Crosby had become the poster boy for the NHL. He was the most recognizable hockey player in the world. In an interview in Calgary in 2010, he was asked how he spends his time in a city where he's so recognized. Crosby laughed and said he mostly stayed in his room and definitely didn't go shopping. Crosby has been humble throughout his career and it really shone through in this interview. It's important to remember that Sid the Kid had been in the spotlight since he was a real kid, since before he was a teenager. A lot of child stars don't learn how to deal with the spotlight and they develop a warped sense of what the world is like and what their place in it is. Not Sidney Crosby. He says that, in the age of camera phones and very little privacy, he has to remember that that's all he's ever known, and he must learn to live and deal with it. That's a lot of hiding in hotel rooms; but it's the price you pay when you're the best hockey player in the world. Perhaps the more difficult part is what happens when you fall out of the spotlight.
Download or read book Most Valuable written by Gare Joyce and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 National Bestseller This hockey generation's brightest talent has been plagued by concussions. Now, the very style of play that has brought Crosby such success may be heralding the end of his career. Sidney Crosby is arguably the best player ever to put on skates. You could argue that Bobby was better, or Wayne, or Gordie. But it would be hard to argue that any of those guys changed the game as much as Sid. No defenceman came along in Bobby's wake to play like him. There will never be another 99. But in Crosby's case, the entire league was re-made in his image. The game can be divided into two eras: before and after Sidney Crosby arrived in 2005, breaking Mario Lemieux's rookie scoring record. Says NHL star Matt Duchene, who entered the league in 2008, just three years after Crosby: "Just in the time that I was going from peewee and bantam to junior, there was a whole other game before and after. You didn't have a choice really--you had to adapt and adopt the way he did things or get left way behind." In an effort to keep up with Sid, the game changed. It's faster now, more skilled. There are more highlight-reel goals, and fewer fights. And in many ways, Crosby has thrived. Three Stanley Cups. Two Olympic gold medals. A World Cup. And enough individual trophies to fill a truck. But then, if Crosby hadn't changed the league, he might expect a longer career. Today, Sidney Crosby is the first generational superstar whose every shift could be his last. He invented a faster game, and the faster game has taken its toll on its creator. Crosby has suffered several concussions, and missed most of an entire season with symptoms. He plays the game fearlessly, but he also plays it without a bodyguard. The irony is that he created a league that made it harder for him to thrive. And the tragedy may be that he has created a league that will bring his career to an end in one fell swoop, in front of millions. Telling the story of a generational talent and the way he has revolutionized the game, Gare Joyce will also bring into focus crucial questions about the way the game is played today, assessing fighting and concussions in the light of the way these issues impinge on arguably the greatest player ever to skate.
