Crosby to play street hockey for the Cup

While several members of the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins have already taken the Cup on a boat or to a pizza place, Sidney Crosby plans on playing some more hockey with it.

Crosby, along with Max Talbot and Marc-Andre Fleury, answered questions from employees at the CCM Reebok headquarters last week about how they plan on spending their day with the Cup.

I’ve always had this dream of playing street hockey for the Cup. I did it growing up but this time we have the real one, so I’m going to get some friends together that I grew up with, and we’re going to play for the real one this time.

Since turning pro, Crosby has been a strong supporter of street hockey. In 2006, Crosby sent an email to lawmakers when a proposed bylaw threatened the survival of street hockey in Halifax. “He just wanted to share some memories,” Crosby’s mom told the Canadian Press.

While Crosby is just inviting his friends to play, I have a feeling the streets of Cole Harbour may resemble the scenes from his Gatorade ad.
