Born: August 7, 1987
Well we’re down to the top 3. As the dust begins to clear on our list of the top 25 athletes under 25 years of age, I present number three, Sidney Crosby. The 22-year old Canadian prodigy has played four full NHL seasons, in those four years Crosby has been a three-time all-star and an MVP , much like friend turned foe, Alex Ovechkin. However, what separates Sid the kid from OV is the Stanley cup victory that Crosby and the Penguins secured last season.
Aside from an injury shortened season in 2007-08, Crosby has put up 100 points every year, including a 120 point campaign in his sophomore season, which netted him the Art Ross trophy (most points in a regular season) in addition to the Hart trophy for the league’s most valuable player.
At such a young age Crosby has been able to accomplish a career’s worth of goals (no pun intended). The sky is the limit for this guy, and with guidance from close friend, Mario Lemieux, Crosby is on track for a hall of fame career.
