Young Fan Overwhelmed with Emotion as Captain Crosby Hands Him The Gift of a Lifetime

Sidney Crosby has always been generous with fans, and he works to connect with them when he can. Crosby is known as an ambassador for the NHL for a reason.

Crosby currently sits at 1502 career points, and he is 83 points away from breaking into the top 10 points all-time in the NHL. Last season, Crosby had 93 points, and the season before he had 84, so it should be no problem for him to eclipse that mark.

How it Started

As the players were leaving the ice at the conclusion of the game, Sidney Crosby saw a young fan wearing a Kris Letang shirt who was excitedly watching the players leave. He was cheering them down the tunnel as the players headed down the tunnel. Crosby noticed this and tossed the young fan a puck




The reaction from the child looked to be one of the happiest and most excited kids ever. It easily made his night as he jumped for joy and screamed with enthusiasm. The parents could not get him to sit still for a photo after he had the puck as well.

The Sidney Crosby Foundation

Sidney Crosby established the Sidney Crosby Foundation in 2009 as an organization working to improve the lives of children who are sick or struggling. He obliviously cares about leaving an impression on young fans.
