The Pittsburg prodigy attracted the spotlight at the early age of 7 after skating for the first at the age of 3. In his sophomore high school year, Sidney Crosby recorded 72 goals and 90 assists in 57 games, earning the attention of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky.

After his 2016 Stanley Cup win, Gretzky noted that “Sid the Kid” is on a “different level”. He further went on to state, “I watch him play a lot because I admire the way he plays”. “It’s not a big secret. I think he’s the best player in the game. He just sees the game the right way; he always has. He’s on a different level when he’s playing like he is right now.”

“What Sid has is a little bit of an extra gear as far as his passing ability, his playmaking ability, the ability to make players around him on his team that much better”. “Guys like Bobby Orr did it, and Mario [Lemieux] did it, and obviously Crosby’s doing it. He’s just making his team better.”

His comparisons with Gretzky couldn’t be avoided as his play got attention all over in NHL. Starting from his electric NHL debut till his 2023 games, his plays have always pulled in the fans, producing extraordinary plays even in the last period during matches. Gretzky went as far as noting, that Crosby has something which puts him a level higher than Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid.
