Origin
and identity

Sidney Crosby combined championship leadership with the overtime goal that defined Vancouver's Olympic hockey tournament.

Crosby's rise placed enormous expectations on a young centre from Nova Scotia. Pittsburgh selected him first overall in 2005, and he grew into the captain of a team that won three Stanley Cups between 2009 and 2017.

For Canada, his career supplied a different collection of defining moments. Vancouver's overtime winner was followed by another Olympic title in Sochi and a world championship in 2015, completing the three championships of the Triple Gold Club.
