Ice hockey legend
Longtime captain Crosby remains loyal to Pittsburgh
Longtime captain Sidney Crosby is staying with the Pittsburgh Penguins for two more seasons!
As the NHL club announced on Monday, the Canadian, who was selected by the Penguins as the number one pick in the 2005 draft, has signed a contract extension until the end of the 2026/27 season. 37-year-old Crosby will earn 8.7 million US dollars (7.85 million euros) a year. Pittsburgh won the Stanley Cup three times with the star forward.
With 1596 points, Crosby is currently in tenth place in the all-time scoring rankings. The coming season with the Penguins will be his 18th as captain of the team. Only Steve Yzerman has captained the Detroit Red Wings longer in the history of the ice hockey elite league with 19 years.
