I think a bit of caution with the wording here is necessary and for future edits that may change the way its written. Sidney crosby is by definition the youngest player to capatin a team in winning the stanley cup in the history of the NHL. But is not the youngest captain to win the stanley cup. This was done by Mike Grant on the montreal victorias who was 21 years old and 2 months in 1895 when he won the stanley cup (born 1874 Januray), where crosby was 21 and 10 mths this June. By definition youngest in the NHL. Ottawa4ever ( talk) 02:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
The article mentions: "At 21 years, 10 months, and 5 days, Crosby became the youngest NHL captain to hoist the Cup.[6] (The youngest captain to lead his team to the Stanley Cup in the history of the trophy is Mike Grant of the 1895 Montreal Victorias, who was 21 years and 2 months at the time.)" so that means lead his team to AND WIN the trophy I'm assuming, because Crosby captained his team in the Stanley Cup Final a year before that at 20 years and 10 months. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.161.180 ( talk) 06:40, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
I attended Harrison Trimble in Moncton, N.B and thats where Sidney earned a diploma from Harrison Trimble High School (Source: http://timestranscript.canadaeast.com/sports/article/698292)
Sidney then attended SNHU, where he took an online course in History and earned his bachelor's degree.

This article has been locked for ages, and for good reason too. Because whenever it is unlocked a large group of users enter and label all mention of the word Sidney with Cindy. But given how much this goes on not just on Wikipedia but on other media outlets and amongst fans, is it encyclopaedic to include a criticism section which includes this perception of him and the common nickname he is given by opposing fans? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.176.223.69 ( talk) 09:35, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
The Detroit Red Wings article has "The Dead Wings Era" as one of its headings. And I think the Cindy derogotary nicknames came from his rookie season where he was criticized for diving and whining. 124.180.152.251 ( talk) 07:49, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
The bottomline is that this critisism DOES exist & if it is done in an unbiased way it can go on Wikipedaia. Also, it could say in the article that he is critisized often in blogs & on Youtube (I would know that, as I said I'm an avid Youtube user). And if it is put on Wikipedai in an unbiased way, it can be added. AndrewEnns ( talk) 16:13, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
I see one thing missing from this discussion: A single reliable source which is critical of Crosby. Until we have one of those, there's not much of a reason to add any critisism. YouTube nor blogs are relaible. black ngold29 19:31, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
I have to agree with Wafulz, a criticism section is not a good idea. Criticism is empty of value. It comes, it goes. Some specific instances, such as Crosby and the hats is completely trivial. If we have one criticism section, then why not everywhere? Bad idea. Hating a player is not something we should encourage here. Alaney2k ( talk) 17:48, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
If you want to put criticism on Crosby's page, you must put it on every NHL player's page. I don't know of a player who hasn't been criticized for something! Even people who aren't as well known as Sid face criticism from fans and supporters of other teams. Backstrom of the Capitals shot the puck into his own net. Everyone criticized that. "Crybaby" should not be used for a player so great that he led his team, at the age of 21, to the Stanley Cup. And to the Finals two years in a row! It took Gretzky 5 years in the league and took Lemieux (men who both have said that Sidney was great enough to break their records) 7 years. Crying isn't what gets you a Stanley Cup. Being a leader is. MariosMinion 15:10, 24 July 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by MariosMinion ( talk • contribs)
What this article lacks and I am blown away by the void is a discussion of what makes Crosby a great player. Commentators say he can see three moves ahead and that he has a genius hockey brain comparable to that of Bobby Orr. Can this be integrated into the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fanfardon ( talk • contribs) 00:04, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Can we now add the fact that he doesn't like the Philadelphia Flyers? As per his locker room interview following Game 1.

I was just wondering why his particpation at the 2003 Junior World Cup isn't included on his international stats. He led the tournament in scoring, and other NHL players have the tournament mentioned. For years, it has been the premier national championship for players under 18, since the "Official" U18 takes place in the Winter around the time of the U20, and the Junior World Cup, or the Ivan Hlinka tournament, as it is now known, takes place in the summer. It doesn't have to be mentioned in the article, but I feel it should be added into this international stats collumn at least. He led the tournament in points and was also the youngest player to ever play in a national U18 tournament. He was only 15. It's truly an important part of his career since it had never been done before. It's mind-boggling to think that he was playing for an American prep school when all the others were playing Major Junior or an equivalent. His stat line was 4-2-6 in 5 games.
You can see him on the roster here: http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php/ci_id/4418/la_id/1.htm Source of his statline: http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php/ci_id/3264/la_id/1.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.76.46.226 ( talk) 19:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
One sentence begins, "At thirteen, the..." It is about a federation denying crosby permission to play with 17-year-olds.
That sentence has a dangling modifier. If you want to start it with "At thirteen," the subject has to be crosby, not the federation.
It needs to be rephrased as "When Crosby was thirteen, the ..." That rephrase eliminates the grammatical error currently embedded in the sentence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.220.49.251 ( talk) 14:56, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

"Crosby was drafted by the Penguins out of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) first overall after earning back-to-back CHL Player of the Year awards and leading his club to the 2005 Memorial Cup during his two-year major junior career with the Rimouski Océanic"
My problem is with the bolded statement. While it is a true fact in that it refers to the Memorial Cup Tournament (where the Oceanic made the finals, losing 4-0 to London) it can easily be mis-interpreted as meaning that Sidney Crosby led Rimouski to a Memorial Cup Championship (which is false). It could easily be clarified with the addition of the word "finals" or "tournament" or re-written as "leading his club to the 2005 QMJHL Championship and a birth in the Memorial Cup" or something along those lines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.6.165.123 ( talk) 02:26, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
The caption of the second picture on the page reads "Crosby shortly after being designated the alternate captaincy during his rookie campaign." The verb designated should work like "appointed," not like "given." So "Crosby shortly after being designated alternate captain during his rookie campaign" would make much more sense and read better.

The Stanley Cup should be an award under the NHL section. Also, "Most points in the NHL as a teenager" should be on there. It is perhaps his most impressive record.

Don't have a Wikipedia account & have never edited anything, so I'm not really comfortable editing this myself. But the statement "Youngest All-Star Game Participant" under Records needs to be changed/corrected. He's the youngest to be voted a starter in the All-Star Game (which is what it actually says in the article cited), not the youngest to ever play in one period. Several players played in one at a younger age than Crosby. 75.34.26.34 ( talk) 01:46, 1 May 2010 (UTC) Jess05
Something about Crosby's disgraceful behavior, not playing in the World Championship 2010, must be put on the main page. It should be in the top intro as well, since there is mention of his scoring in the World Championship 2006.
Even though his Pittsburgh counterpart Malkin played for Russia in the World Championship 2010, Sidney Crosby did not set foot on the ice for Canada. Rene Fasal criticized Crosby's decision to abandon team Canada at the World Championship of 2010. (citation needed) —Preceding

I came to this page to find out more about Cosby's injury -- after hearing of lingering effects from the concussion just discussed briefly on the Dan Patrick show, which referenced other reliable source(s) in sports journalism I think, including speculation about whether he will be ready to play this upcoming season. I believe that the section within the article here should be fleshed out more with updated details.. I dont have a link to other sources handy but i'm sure someone more familiar with this article (and hockey in general) could easily find one or two at least. Perhaps this injury can now be considered substantial enough to be mentioned in the lead, which by the way looks like it could be trimmed of some extraneous details, IMO.

Please change paragraph 2 of the Sidney Crosby article where it states that in the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals, the Penguins were "swept by the Detroit Red Wings." This is not accurate. It should read that "the Penguins lost in 6 games to the Detroit Red Wings."
Supporting Information: (Detroit won Games 1 and 2, Pittsburgh won Game 3, Detroit won Game 4, Pittsburgh won Game 5, and Detroit won Game 6, winning the Cup that game.)

I think, considering the media coverage, it is worthwhile to add some information here on the recent outburst of criticism Crosby has received not just from opposing teams but also from other people in hockey.

All of these "records" are in HEAVY dispute. Wayne Gretzky played in the WHA, then a pro hockey league as big as the NHL at the age of 17 in 1978. When the WHA was folded into the NHL in 1980 Gretzky and his WHA team, the Edmonton Oilers, came with it. Gretzy was ruled ineligible for the Calder Trophy (rookie of the year) in 1979-1980 because he had already played a year of "pro hockey" and all of the records of the WHA teams that were folded into the NHL (Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, Hartford Whalers) were absorbed and regarded as official NHL stats. Therefore Gretzky's points as "professional hockey player" must also count if he was not eligible to be rookie of the year. In 1978-79 Gretzky scored 110 points for Edmonton and Indianapolis in 80 games, a MUCH faster rate to 100 points than Crosby. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Gretzky). In 1979-80 for Edmonton Gretzky scored 137 points for Edmonton in 79 games, again a MUCH faster rate to 200 points than Crosby (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Gretzky). Both of these campaigns happened before Gretzky's 19th birthday. Please remove these invalid "records" from Crosby's page. They contradict the Wayne Gretzky entry in wikipedia and are, really, at best based on a technicality. Jyoders19 ( talk) 20:23, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi wikipedians,
I have 2 comments on this page. First, the first paragraph of the page makes it seem like the most noteworthy element of Crosby's career is that he was one of the most highly-coveted draft picks of all time. While this is factually true, it obscures the reality that, by 2017, the fact that he is now regarded by many as one of the greatest players of all time has certainly eclipsed the mere speculation that he would come so (as embodied in the fuss made over his draft at the time). The page should be modified to reflect that.
Secondly, the "reception" section references a recent Fox Sports article ranking Crosby 15th on their "21 greatest athletes of the 21st century (so far)" list. But an article that purports to rank the top athletes in the world and yet includes 16 Americans and only 5 non-Americans (all of whom are for various reasons prolific in American media) does not merit inclusion.

Crosby didn't design the patch. I think, that was nowhere said? Main intention of the addition was to list the second highest sold jersey and the good cause it went to! AlexMPgh412 ( talk) 02:30, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

After the Tree Of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, local graphic designer Alexander Messmer created the Stronger Than Hate Logo for the Penguins, which they made patches out of and had players wear the jerseys in the game against the New York Islanders on October 30, 2018.
In a later auction to support the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh and to establish a fund with the City of Pittsburgh Department of Public Safety to benefit the Pittsburgh Police officers injured in the events on October 27, Sidney Crosby's autographed jersey with the patch on sold for $31,010.00 the second highest price his jerseys ever achieved.

These have been included in the article for 12 years. Superstar stats at young ages are absolutely relevant. Hawerchuk ( talk) 07:12, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
This article says that Crosby's 2010 Olympics stick was found in a shipment to the IIHF Hall of Fame that was intercepted in Toronto but intended for St. Petersburg, but the Wikipedia article for the Hall of Fame and the IIHF website says that the IIHF Hall of Fame is in Toronto. The source cited matches the article (saying it was meant to be sent to St. Petersburg), but I can find no source for any hockey-related Hall of Fame in the city, meaning the CTV article sourced may be incorrect. 2601:603:4E00:9BF0:AED8:C33B:7C4F:8F4F ( talk) 09:30, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Tchilliard2116 ( talk) 02:58, 2 October 2023 (UTC) Sidney Crosby tries his best to keep his personal life out of the media. Crosby owns no social media accounts. Sidney who grew up in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia keeps his private life to himself by not participating in any social media platforms.
