À propos de cet audio

Sidney Crosby is ready to tell his story in his own words. As one of the greatest NHL players of all time, he reflects on his 2005-06 rookie season with the Pittsburgh Penguins. From a Canadian phenom dubbed “the next Gretzky” to an 18-year-old carrying the burden of a struggling franchise, he talks candidly about the intense pressure he was under, the surreal experience of lacing up alongside his childhood idol Mario Lemieux and the truth about his rivalry with Alex Ovechkin. Sidney Crosby, with the help of his family, coaches and former teammates, gives listeners an all-access pass to one of the most scrutinized and tumultuous rookie seasons in the history of professional hockey. Hosted by Pittsburgh native and Penguins fan Joe Manganiello.

About Sidney Crosby

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby is one of the most accomplished players in the history of the National Hockey League, having won three Stanley Cup championships, two NHL scoring titles, two Hart Trophies as the NHL’s MVP, and two Conn Smythe Trophies as the MVP of the Stanley Cup Playoffs through the first 17 years of his professional career.

The nine-time NHL All-Star has also starred internationally for Team Canada on several occasions, including winning gold medals in both the 2010 and 2014 Olympic Games, with his overtime goal in the 2010 gold medal game against the United States known as the ''Golden Goal.'' In May 2015, Crosby became the 26th player to enter the International Ice Hockey Federation’s (IIHF) Triple Gold Club, achieved by winning the Stanley Cup and gold medals at both the Olympics and World Championship.

Crosby, a two-time Emmy Award winner, has multiple commitments to community and charitable efforts. He founded both the Sidney Crosby Foundation and Sidney Crosby's Little Penguins program, which has provided free hockey equipment and lessons to over 13,000 youths in the Pittsburgh area since 2008. He has also purchased a private suite at PPG Paints Arena for over 15 years, which he has reserved for use by children's charities in the Pittsburgh area. Crosby is a native of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia.

Great to hear it from Crosby himself

If you're a hockey fan definitely give it a listen! The perspective was very Pittsburgh centric for a hockey player who is so much more than just a Penguin. I understand the focus though.

Emotional

By the end of this audible I felt like I was part of Sid the Kid’s family. It was so emotional and triggered past family memories for myself. My husband was shocked to hear that I was listening to this book. Great work I just became another fan.

A must listen for any Penguins fan.

If you’ve been watching hockey for a while now or have been following Crosby’s career since the beginning then you probably already know a lot of what’s discussed in this audiobook but it gives a nice insight into Crosby and others thought process at the time. One thing I couldn’t help thinking however while listening is how well this audiobook would have worked as a documentary, either split into 2 parts or as just one long 4hr documentary. There’s lots of discussions and moments that I feel would have benefited from having visuals however you can still get a lot out of this audiobook even if you are struggling to visualize what’s being discussed. As my title for this review suggests, if you’re a Pens fan this is a must listen in my opinion and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Wow

Well worth the listen. Loved it from beginning to end. I have always been a Sidney fan being from the Maritimes but I appreciate him even more now that I better understand his rookie year and the sacrifices made. Had the privilege to see him play in person in Montreal and although I am a Canadien’s fan, I did not mind them losing to Sid. Recommend this audible to all hockey lovers.
