Sidney Crosby says second hometown tour with Stanley Cup is something to savour
HALIFAX — As Sidney Crosby prepares to carry the Stanley Cup through his Nova Scotia hometown, he says in many ways a championship tour is all the sweeter the second time around.
The Pittsburgh Penguins captain is in Halifax this week overseeing his annual hockey camp and will bring the Cup to the city for a parade on Saturday, ending at the same rink where he honed his skills as a boy.
During a break Wednesday from working with excited kids at the Cole Harbour rink, Crosby reflected on a season that had its ups and downs — and a championship ring that shone all the brighter as a result.
“This time I appreciate it a little bit more,” said Crosby. “I’ll make sure I spend every second I possibly can with it (the Stanley Cup).”
