Sidney crosby wife

Sidney Crosby was born on August 7, 1987, at Grace Maternity Hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia, to parents Troy and Trina Crosby. Interestingly, his birth date (8/7/87) has influenced various aspects of his life, including his jersey number, 87, and even his 2007 contract, which was worth $8.7 million per year. Raised in the neighboring town of Cole Harbour, Crosby has a younger sister named Taylor.

His father, Troy Crosby, was a goaltender in his youth and played for the Verdun Junior Canadiens in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). Troy was instrumental in leading the team to win the 1985 President’s Cup and secure a spot in the 1985 Memorial Cup. Although Troy was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens, he never actually played in the NHL.

As a child, Crosby looked up to Steve Yzerman and, much like his father, was a fan of the Montreal Canadiens. Remarkably, he took up hockey at a very young age, playing in the family’s basement Usa hockey camp.
