Sidney Crosby is Canada’s secret weapon at the ice hockey World Cup

Of course, he wears the maple leaf on his suit. If he mandatory, he listens to the name Captain Canada. There is no connection with the home and the symbol on the flag. Captain Canada is a fictional superhero, not quite as well known as his North American neighbor Captain America, but that only results from the importance of her home countries. However, nobody should underestimate this Captain Canada. He too has superhuman forces.

Sometimes it looks like Sidney Crosby could also build on them. At least he also bears the name Captain Canada. Probably also because it sometimes works like that, as if he were flying effortlessly and invisible to the opponent over the ice. Crosby is a very above -average ice hockey player. He was born and grew up in Canada, and he achieved amazing success with the puck. For 37 years, Crosby is now old, which has by no means prevented him from being successful in sports.

The captain plays with his national team at the Ice Hockey World Championship. For the first time for ten years. Because his regular club Pittsburgh Penguins, for which he has been playing since 2005, once again missed the play-offs in the North American professional league NHL. Crosby gave this an earlier end of the season than expected what he used for a trip to Europe.

Crosby has already won many titles in his career

In 2015, Crosby was at a World Cup last time, at that time he led Canada to the title. Nothing less is expected this year by one of the best ice hockey players in the world. He has often proven that he can do it. He won the Stanley Cup three times, twice he had become Olympic champion with Canada and world champion in 2015. That alone speaks for quality.

Crosby is a center, a kind of center forward. He puts the opponent under pressure early, commitment and combat power are his great strengths. Loyalty also seems important to the 37-year-old. To see sporty on the long connection with Pittsburgh. And privately in the relationship with the model Kathy Lautner. The two of them are already a couple for more than 15 years.

From 2005 to 2010, Crosby lived with the family of ice hockey star Mario Lemieux in Sickickley (Pennsylvania), in 2011 he bought his own house nearby, which he had designed according to his wishes. Money does not play a major role. In addition to his well -endowed contract, Crosby has several advertising partnerships with large companies as a player.
