Siouxhockey78 Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 There is this kid named Sidney Crosby out of Cananda I would to see the Sioux pickup. I think he is 16 or 17 and would be a really great player to grab in the next year or 2. What do you all think? Have any you heard anything about him Quote
Diggler Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 I hope you aren't serious. If you are, he's playing major Junior and would be ineligible until like the second half of 2006-2007. He will be drafted #1 overall in this years draft and will be playing for that team next year, if there is a NHL. Quote
Sioux #805 Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 this is no surprise. this kid has taken the amateur spotlight for a while. he played at shattuck a couple of seasons ago with zp and all the other ssm sioux. he has been the projected #1 pick in the 2005 or 2006 (forgot which one he'll be eligible for) nhl draft for quite a few years. he even made an unofficial visit to UND when zp played here (i believe his freshman year). he has since given up his eligibility by playing major junior up in canada last season and this season too i would imagine. he was plugged by wayne gretzky last year in an article as the next player to likely break his records...quite strong words for a such a young kid. we'll at least get to see him this winter at the wjc's. his name has been mentioned on different threads on this forum in the past, but it appears he is on the fast track to the nhl and college is way out of the question. even if there wasn't the major junior rule in the ncaa.

Siouxhockey78 Posted September 16, 2004 Author Posted September 16, 2004 Oh thanks for insight. Didn't know the major junior league rule. Would be great if he could paly for the sioux. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 If Crosby played College hockey, he would have chosen UND like most of the other premiere SSM players. He opted for the higher competition of Major Juniors in his home country. Quote
jloos Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Sidney Crosby? Is that name for real. I've never heard of him. I've also heard this guy named Gretzky or something is thinking about coming out of retirement and wants to get an education and play hockey, the Sioux should think about looking at him. Anyone else hear anything? Quote
ScottM Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Is Sidney related to Bill Crosby, the semi-funny guy on TV? I don't know about Gretzky, but I think Bobby Orr still has some eligibility left ... Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Crosby is very much for real. You will be able to see him play in the World Junior Championships in Grand Forks this winter. Quote

You see that up there... Look up ... Higher Yes that is me and ScottM's sarcasm going over your head. The topic of Sidney Crosby has been discussed many times. In fact I remember discussions about him before using my current name. A quick search - yes there is a search button, reveals this posted by Schmidtdoggydog well over 1 year ago. There is several discussions since then. Crosby Forum Welcome to the site Siouxhockey78, but please don't post something like this until searching for previous discussions. Everyone on this board is familiar with Sidney Crosby, he is easily the hottest prospect since Mario L. Really I'm not trying to be an a-hole, I'm just a very sarcastic person. Quote
