Hockey superstar Sidney Crosby honoured as top N.S. athlete of all time
Acclaimed hockey superstar Sidney Crosby has another bullet point to add to his growing list of accolades, after he was honoured as the top Nova Scotia athlete of all time at a gala dinner last night.
The Cole Harbour native was voted number one on a list of the province's top 15 athletes compiled by the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame, which hosted the dinner and fundraiser at the Halifax Convention Centre.
More than a thousand people packed into the centre's ballroom for the event in celebration of the province's greatest players.
In a question-and-answer session, Crosby said his success in hockey is largely motivated by his love of the game.
Other top athletes attending the dinner include curling legend Colleen Jones, Hockey Hall of Famer Al MacInnis, and Paralympic gold medallist Jamie Bone.
