Crosby Named Canada Captain for 2026 Olympics
Sidney Crosby steps up as captain for Team Canada at the Milano Cortina Olympics, a role that fits the Penguins legend like a perfectly broken-in stick. Teammates from McDavid to Reinhart rave about his steady presence in the room, the kind of leadership that's defined Canadian hockey for two decades. With his third Games on the horizon and a Penguins squad leaning on his 59 points this season, Sid's influence extends from the rink in Pittsburgh to the biggest stage in Italy.
