Lost Footage of a Young Sidney Crosby

Amazing footage of a young Sidney Crosby!

[@hazardous0887]

Imagine being the coach that gets to say "I trained Sidney Crosby"

[@scracing4212]

Lol he's coached pretty well every nhler from this province from the last 25 years. MacKinnon, Marchand, killorn and MacIsaac also. He's an amazing coach.

[@kohlny]

Robbie glanz did and he just got down coaching me

[@donairsauce2496]

he was my gym teacher in elementary lmao hes a beast

[@afloppingtuna]

@@scracing4212 he never coached macIssac

[@scracing4212]

@@afloppingtuna not on a team per say... But I was in plenty of camps that Brad coached and MacIsaac worked with him very closely.

[@google2com]

I love how his eyes lights up when he talks about getting up everyday to play hockey...whatever you think of him, you can't help but aspire to that kind of passion on something.

[@PavelGaborik]

"Probably one of the most talented individuals I've ever coached" PROBABLY...ONE of the most talented, really dude? really?

[@wilmerriepe4398]

PavelGaborik he also coached kane, stammer and John scott

[@PavelGaborik]

Wilmer Wallman It makes sense now with Scott.

[@wilmerriepe4398]

PavelGaborik ikr

[@deckednhl8051]

He's probably coached John Scott I mean c'mon man

[@georgepetrina6600]

You boys laugh! But John Scott sniped 2 mediocre goals in the all star game! And he followed it up with returning to the Habs AHL affiliate the St John's IceCaps!, (apparently sponsored by Tim Hortons, who respectfully named the team after their most popular frozen summer drink). So next time you make fun of John Scott, ...think about how you would feel if Tim Hortons got rid of the Ice Capp!!

[@mcgregor-hy1eu]

He’s literally been targeted with cheap shots since the age of 14. Incredible

Exactly

[@notmatthew3183]

I like the way you think

[@BonkoPlayzMinecraft]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you say he doesn't dive? Have you ever watched Crosby, oh wait, Crosbaby? There are lots of players better then Crosbaby like Alex Ovechkin, Patrick Kane, Jamie Benn, etc. Sure he's good, but he dives and there are players better than him.

[@LBP15]

none of the players you listed are better than crosby. league of his own

[@BonkoPlayzMinecraft]

Lets see, Ovechkin, Benn, Taresenko, Kane, Pavelski, well, they scored more goals than Crosby now didn't they?!

[@olit92]

what a great person this guy is

I hope he’s bought his parents a new washer/dryer since then 😂

[@lindenanderson9814]

The funniest part is is that Sidney Crosby is the best player in the chel, people just don't like to admit it but it's the truth

[@staysaucy]

But you found the footage....

[@antmrz2069]

its been 5 years remember this

[@TheReviewSpace]

I know I'm over 9 years later on this upload but I do remember his draft in '05. That was a huge deal and there was so much hype around the him. We're born in the same year, so it was a little bizarre to see someone from the same generation be regarded as one of the "greatest" in NHL history, but he's proven himself!

[@andyx1205]

He's 22 and already he's won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins and a Gold Medal in the Olympics. Kid has a great career ahead of him.

Lmfao you mad bro ????? Every news cast with him in it says worlds best hockey player

[@Saxguy1985]

Jacob Brewer I could care less what a news cast says. No need to be mad. Any true hockey player knows the best is Howe and Gretzky. Sid cant even take a hit without being bent over

[@TheGatewayPunditNews]

Lmfaooo!!!! Your talking about the past time kid haha by saying best in the world that means now .not back in the shoot anything and score years

[@Saxguy1985]

Jacob Brewer youre not going to have much of an ass by the end of this convo little 14 year old. You cannot be a good hockey player if you cannot take a hit

His First year novice 159 goals, i would like to see any of you do that.

Less than 10 years later, he's centering Team Canada's first line in the Olympics... Awesome!

Soo mature at that age. Even now hes such a great human being. Hes the guy who you point to your kids and tell them thats who you should look up to

[@sommerenglish5866]

Hes so amazing

[@Boots2Bike]

Crosby is a class act. Man people love to shit talk him but the guys incredible on and off the ice. Amazing personality, amazing player. Clearly has been humble since the beginning. 14 year old kid talking about playing his game scoring goals while the grinders try and chase him around I mean he just sounds like a pro even back when he was a freakin kid lol

[@MsPensgirl]

how adorable. amazing to see how great he was, even as a youngster (:

[@jillfischer-peters251]

Lol. This is a nice video, he has a sucessful life because he does what he loves with passion. Crosby isn't a big star that tv portrays, people try to make him that, but he is just a person that loves the mental dance of hockey, when you do it for love vs ego, you become one. I don't think he ever wanted to be a star or famous, he just wants to play. I like the video bc it's a pure accurate picture of him doing what he loves. His personlity is different, quiet, but consitent quiet good personality. If he had a different personaliy, perhaps he wouldnt do so well in hockey. God doesn't make mistakes when designing his creations. His personality is Moe quiet than mine but, 2 of me would be 1 too many! If I were him, I would say, my hand is killing me, I would just carry sgned cards and explain I have to save my hand for the game. I'd say thank you for your support!!! Then I would smile and 👋. He was born to use his hands to play not sign things, he needs a body guard and someone to deal with the public to protect him. He does too much signing, all bc people want a piece of him, why not be less social and more focused on hockey, like he is. There is nothing wrong w sidney, he is a good boy. Not only dos his hand hurt, but he deals with people living him when he wins and hating him when he loses. Strong inernal locus of self control, parents and Cole harbor was good, very strong, intelligent both on and off ice as a man. I never stop wondering why or how people dislike him. Forget his hockey statistics, his personality and character alone, his intelliece,... If the guy never touched a puck in his life, he would sell be a superior catch to an employer, great son, good hymn being. I wish kids would stop trying to have his skills and look at his internal values... Just a thought. Stop picking him apart.

[@alexgalardini7593]

[@GLevine]

+valiante1998 I agree, but he doesn't play anymore. Gretzky skated with Crosby in LA at a NHL combine, pre-draft and was quoted as saying "He has what I had."

[@valiante1998]

G. Levine Hes got the talent, and he was a huge threat. But he's not the best on the ice anymore, you can't argue with numbers.

3 years later, gets drafted as 1st overall pick to Pittsburgh in the NHL Draft. 4 years later, won the Stanley Cup as the youngest captain. 8 months later, score the game-winning goal in the 2010 Olympic Gold Medal game. The way I describe Sidney is "future Hall of Famer/ Canadian Hero". I can't wait to meet him on February 16, 2011. I have to meet the "Canadian Hero".

That's Bruce Rainnie speaking, he does the news for PEI and is also a renowned sports announcer.

[@holobalobalo]

@canuck21 Yeah he's really stepped up his game this year, hopefully he keeps improving like he has over the past few years. Ovi seems to be working on becoming a better playmaker and two-way player (he still seems to be having difficulty backchecking into his defensive zone, something I don't like at all) this season and Sid's working on scoring more goals. With luck they'll both be good all-around players within a few years.
