I know what happened. He made it to junior, played really well, tore up his knee his draft year. Gets picked in the 5th round by the columbus blue jackets. He plays two more years of junior and one in the minors before quitting.
"The next couple years are the most important so I've gotta stay level-headed and focus on the years ahead of me." That's such a powerful sentence. He's well aware of his ability, hit potential and his next steps, but he doesn't get hot-headed about it. Unbelievable humility from a kid of his potential.
Little did he know that one day he would get a beauty pass from Jarome Iginla and then score the Gold Medal winning goal in overtime for Team Canada...
@@ethane2753 connor is one of the most skilled to ever play the game ! But he still hasnt won a cup or gold medal .still far behind crosby in accolades. Bud lol
I'm from the even more distant future... This kid now works in Tim Horton's with another fellow Canadian hockey prodigy- think his name was Nathan something or another... Well at least they both found work and each other! Happy ending?
Jokes aside, Sidney truly seems like a fantastic guy. Yes, when he was younger he had some moments of immaturity but no one can honestly say they dislike crosby for anything other than his talent and beating your team. I’m a diehard stars fan, not a pens fan whatsoever but this guy is something else
All joking aside, I don't get it either. He's a sweetheart, a gentleman, a superstar, a champion and winner. Arguably the most accomplished hockey player Ever. Winning at All levels like Jerry Lucas and Bill Walton ...
Nah, but he got to the juniors... He now works in Tim Hortons with that other Canadian hockey prodigy on the air- Nathan something or other... Well at least they both found work, and each other! So happy ending?
He’s like 13 here, why does he walk like my grandma? I saw him at the bell center and was blown away. Hard to believe he looks better in person but he knows what he’s doing with the puck wayyy before it touches his stick.
I remember around 2004-05 , math teacher talked about him like a future gretzky lemieux . So he was around 16-17 at that time . Best in the world in his prime
Here's my prediction Lemieux comes out of retirement and the penguins become pretty much ready to relocate, and then crosby will be drafted number 1 overall in 2005, and will win 3 Stanley cups in 9 years. He will also make 4 cup final appearances in 10 years You're welcome
I thought I saw Geddy & Tull out there, with bass & flute, jamming, skating away on the thin ice of a new day... Neil Young at the Skate Rental, playing harmonica, selling pretzels ... Steve Nash on the Zamboni, Larry Walker sharpening skates... not sure...Randy Bachman plowing the parking lot ...
Update: He’s working at Tim Horton’s with Nathan MacKinnon.
The 3 Best Hockey Players in the World are Irish Canadians 🍀
Wow fast food worker? Jesus that sucks
bless this post
Nathan who?
He also does double shifts at sportcheck
Can’t believe this is only 3 years ago. He grew up so fast.
🤣🤣🤣
1000 games in 6 months is astonishing
Kids these days. Lmao
dude its because the video is recorded a long time ago
@@masavoie86 that’s the joke
wonder what ever became of this kid?
As a Flyers fan, he's ok I guess
@@Ykcin978 nah truly a bust.totally not a 3 time sc winner,and a phenomenon in the nhl.saw at him at my local arbys
CoolGuy 123 did you actually see him at an Arby’s?
@@___george1629 yup the cashier
Yeah I wonder if that hockey thing worked out for him? 🤣
I wish they could do a, “where are they now?” segment...I wanna know what happened to him!?
I know what happened.

He’s in the NBA now

This.
"His potential? You phrase it in a way that infers you think this is recent when this is like 20 years old and he is the greatest since #99
@@bretthughes8679 no. They phrased it as if he has awareness of his potential back then. Read it again...
And he's still the same today!
@@bretthughes8679you read it wrong. They wrote it right.
My teammate played goalie against him when he was 14, he said they played Sidney on D after the 2nd period because he scored too much
Played goalie ?
“played Sidney on D?”
@@T0mat0_S0up put him on d
Crosby from the blue line..
Put him on defense not offense
Sid had a solid mentor as a kid. It shows. Quality human being, the Kid is.
Excellent observation, this is, master yoda
14 years old talking about staying level headed. Should’ve known then that he’d be an all star.
Nathan, yes, that was the name of that other Canadian hockey kid on the air. So glad they found work and each other!
He’s too small he’ll never make it to the nhl
You silly goose !
That's what they said about Theo Fleury. Too small to make it in the NHL.
1000th like
Well the Nhl aint what it used to be
Nathan Gerbe, it doesnt matter how big you are
It's funny that he basically looks and sounds exactly the same in 2021
😂😂
He’s been focused since day 1, incredible talent.
I think he’ll have a great career!
With that kind of ability, he should get drafted by NHL.
I dont know, dont get your hopes up
Crosby scored 95 goals and had 193 points in 74 games that season (playing, as the video says, against some players three years older).
No, that was with his Midget team
@@JimBurlakoff Yes. Some players were 17 years old.
1:03 Amazing pass! Great camera work!
Little did he know that one day he would get a beauty pass from Jarome Iginla and then score the Gold Medal winning goal in overtime for Team Canada...
One of my favorite hockey moments!
Yup amazing stuff!
In my hometown Vancouver!! That was spectacular
But he’s only 14 how did you know
Kid is has bust written all over him, he will never make it
Mehhh I think he could be a bottom tier 4th line center, but don’t expect him to put up any sort of big numbers
Nail Yakupov is better than him
Louis Leblanc puts that guy in the rearview mirror
That’s what I said I don’t think he has the work ethic probably will be a math teacher or something
@@richrealdeal6606, please tell me you’re joking.
Watching this in 2021, and knowing all his accomplishments is pretty cool
His parents did an amazing job raising him. The closest player I would say that could even come close to be in the same category as the great one
Lemieux??
@@demitriusrawluk5747 i think he means of our generation.

Saw that too
Hahahahaha
That's what I noticed as well. Lmao... 😂😂😂
Im from the future, this kid ended up becoming one of the best centerman to play hockey
Players of all time*
Yeah, okay, sure dude.
And I bet you have flying cars too.
Hows life on mars ?

Meh, he'll be a fringe NHLer at best
if he gets drafted
He is now a bartender at a dive bar in suburban Truro, Nova Scotia
@@steve11263 Nah he's working two jobs. One at Timmys and one at sportscheck.
I'd say he would be lucky to get 3rd line AHL
1:03 that’s a pretty interesting team name😂
Midgets isn't part of the team name btw. It's an age group.
The Dartmouth subway midgets
@Rangus i do get what u mean but it sounds a bit ridiculous calling them midgets 😂😂. But i guess its a canadian thing?
@@valitsemllaluokanavahyvaks3556 No, it is a hockey thing.
Mite, squirt, peewee, bantam, midget, junior.
For a guy who went the major junior route and not college he is really smart and well spoken
This kid's got a lot of potential, he should play in the NHL some day...
It's been amazing watching him all these years. He's aging well. He's one of the best players today!
If he keeps up the hard work he might just be a decent player in the show !
Idek what my childhood would’ve been without Sidney Crosby’s face on my mini hockey stick
That's a future golden goal scorer
Kid has potential. I could see him playing on team Canada in the Olympics and scoring an overtime winner in his home country
My roomate in the Canadian navy played with Sid and still had him on his MSN at the time. Crazy the different paths life takes.
Now one of the all time greats and arguably the most dominant player of his era.
36 years old now and still putting up numbers!
Thanks for the amazing memories Sid. Excited for more!
So this is where it all began... Sid the kid 🤩 absolute GOAT Go Pens!
I think lemieux is the penguins goat for now but Crosby is definitely the best player of his generation
He might make it to the NHL!
Doubt he'll make it those! If he does he definitely wont make it that far!
Stfu
This daniel ally guy is a troll.
From a skinny kid to a bona fide hall of famer and legend in his own right.

Risky pick; could be a franchise #1 centre or bust material. We'll see what happens.
I heard he was a bust
@@EpicEric2002 same here
Aww, throwback to babyface Crosby 🏒☄
@Reel Tawk Nah, not *that* young.
Aging like a fine wine.
throwback? lol he looks the same
Yeah the jaw surgery changed his face a little
@@KaleFGBNot remotely.
@@camdenmacek43It didn't.
Look at this angel babe. 😇🤗
He goes to the same school Ricky sells dope at in TPB😭😭 “Dartmouth”

** Sidney Crosby **
@@InfiniteHorizons shut up
Sidney crosby
What a talented kid, I wonder if he will ever make it into the NHL?
Nah, but he got to the juniors... He now works in Tim Hortons with that other Canadian hockey prodigy on the air- Nathan something or other... Well at least they both found work, and each other! So happy ending?
One of my favorite player of his era, on and off the ice.
Back when the news had something other than covid coverage.
Thank you for representing Canada Sid you are awesome
He is now a 3rd-line center in finnish Liiga.
That kid has potential for a 14 year old. I see him making it big someday.
Wow... He really could've been a legend if he continued !
Seems decent. Hope he makes it to the big leagues.
How dumb are u? He has already won 2 stanley cups. Like seriously u should know this guy.
Don’t think so he don’t even compete with his own age

And look at him now! 🙏🙏👏👏
Wow, this guy is gonna be a star when he grows up.
Wish him the best hope he makes it to the NHL.

greatest player ever in all around game.

@@mr.brenman2132 Not better than Wayne and Mario to be honest
@@SaveznaRepublikaJugoslavija He said all-round game.
Amazing, 14 year old Sid plays the game the exact same was as 34 year old Sid.
Homie looks like the captain of Pittsburgh penguins
Not even close
This kid is 14 tho lol
@fcfnfjnfvnfv and to you
Update: He's now working at a McCafe in Halifax
Live, breathe hockey and staying focused. That's the key
He’s like 13 here, why does he walk like my grandma? I saw him at the bell center and was blown away. Hard to believe he looks better in person but he knows what he’s doing with the puck wayyy before it touches his stick.
I remember around 2004-05 , math teacher talked about him like a future gretzky lemieux . So he was around 16-17 at that time . Best in the world in his prime
Rod Smith from TSN doing the story! WOW HAS TIME FLOWN BY!
Hopefully he ends up making the big show
Kid looks exactly like the Sidney Crosby in the NHL right now, that's crazy
Meanwhile, Connor McDavid in kindergarten playing with blocks and biding his time
Wonder where he is now! Would love an update!
He worked extremely hard and also was extremely skilled,but was definitely raised well by his parents its easy to see.
And thus a legend is born
8 years later he scores the golden goal.
Hey hopefully he does well in there NHL
Sidney crosby is the best hockey player ever in this time
It's adorable that he basically looks the same.
I saw him on a magazine, guess he became a model or something, kinda sad, he looked like he had talent.
His dad, Bing, was very proud of him.
Where is he now, an update on who he has become would be nice
Living legend
He’s gonna be a great player in the future
I see some potential in this kid! Maybe he could go pro one day! Maybe hard to see it now, but I could definitely see him as a captain or something.
Here's my prediction
Lemieux comes out of retirement and the penguins become pretty much ready to relocate, and then crosby will be drafted number 1 overall in 2005, and will win 3 Stanley cups in 9 years. He will also make 4 cup final appearances in 10 years
You're welcome
@fcfnfjnfvnfv just a few 🤣
Is there a follow up on this kid ? Where is he now ?
Hey this guy served me at Tim’s the other day
and now he’s played his 1000th nhl game

Who would’ve ever thought he would be a future hall of famer
He was well trained since 5 years old. No genius or magic. Just correct training.
Does anybody have a follow up on this kid? Did he make it?
16 days after this aired I was born
One of the rare times a story on a child prodigy actually grew up to be a star
Literally Sid the Kid
I remember seeing him play for the charlottetown rockets when I was 17 and few years later he is considered one of the goats
This kid is gonna be the next big thing
Sid had all of the right mentors to keep him on track.
To think he's now the most accomplished player the game had ever known or outside Gretsky that is
Twenty years later he is the 2nd greatest player in history.
This kid could play in the NHL
And now he is a furtre hall of famer
Was he not a future hall of famer at 14 too?
Hahahahaha
Is that the guy from American Pie?
He did Stiffler’s mom
Haha !! And a Boston Terrier !!
He's hoisted Lord Stanley 3 times. Kids a legend.
Smart Kid
sure he has some potential but i’m not sold on him quite yet
Keep your eye on this 1
This kid has potential. Maybe even the NHL.
