The only thing Crosby does better than play hockey is to give back to his fans and community. Crosby comes from humble beginnings and has kept this quality as he grows more successful. The captain is always signing autographs and giving back to his fans and, even this post-season, has brought the Stanley Cup to children’s hospitals and a veteran nursing home. Crosby is constantly giving back to his community, fans and all those who helped him get to where he is now.
3. The NHL 100

Crosby’s career has been incredible thus far. Though now the captain is 30-years-old, he is far from being finished.
