Sidney Crosby, now 20 years old, enters the 2007-08 season as the
youngest captain in NHL History.
It's been known for some time now that the reigning MVP would begin
the season as the team captain. Pittsburgh went without a captain last
season, fearing the role might be too much for a teenager. "It's an
honour to be captain," Crosby said, "I don't think my focus or mindset
changes though. I'm going to keep everything the same. I've always
tried to lead by example. I've always played with emotion, and I need
to keep playing like that."
