Answer: True

After finishing his second season in the QMJHL with 66 goals and 168 points in just 62 games, Crosby was awarded the player of the year honours for the second straight year. This feat has never been acheived before, not even by Mario Lemieux, the most famous player in the history of the Q.

Troy was drafted 240th overall in the 1984 NHL draft by Montreal, who also picked goaltender Patrick Roy earlier in the draft.

Sidney played in Minnesota for one year, scoring an incredible 162 points in just 57 games!

4. Sidney Crosby was drafted 2nd overall by the Rimouski Oceanic in the 2003 QMJHL draft, behind sniper Guillaume Latendresse.

Answer: False

After many months of scouting, Crosby was put ahead of Latendresse on most draft boards, leading to the Oceanic taking him first overall.

5. Where does Crosby's 2006 number 87 come from?

Answer: His birthday

Sidney's birthday is August 7, 1987. When he went from high school to junior, he gave up his previous number 9 to take on the later infamous number 87.

Answer: True

This goal made him the youngest player ever to score for the team at age 16 years, 4 months, 24 days. The puck from Sidney's record making goal is in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

7. On Canada's stacked team at the 2004-05 World Junior Championships, Crosby rounded out the high-powered first line. Who were his two linemates?

Answer: Corey Perry and Patrice Bergeron

Crosby had an incredible tournament playing on this line, with 6 goals and 3 assists in just 6 games. Bergeron of the Boston Bruins, won Player of the Tournament.

8. Sidney led the 2005 Memorial Cup tournament with 11 points in just 5 games. Who won the tournament?

Answer: London Knights

Crosby played a great tournament, but his team came up short, after getting shut out by his World Junior linemate Corey Perry's London Knights in the final.

9. How did the Pittsburgh Penguins acquire the number one pick in the 2005 NHL draft, and the rights to draft Sidney Crosby?

Answer: By winning the draft lottery

"Crosby's lottery" as many called it, gave every team a chance to grab the phenom, based on a weighting system done by the league. When it came down to it, the Pens beat out the Mighty Ducks, and got the number one pick.

10. How did Crosby's first NHL point come about?

Answer: An assist on Mark Recchi's goal

Sid slid the puck across the crease, past a sprawling Martin Brodeur, to a wide open Mark Recchi, who easily finished it. This goal came on October 5, 2005, in his very first NHL game.
