By the age of ten Sidney was already being compared to Wayne Gretzky who is the greatest hockey player to ever play the sport. Sidney had his share of off ice attention. For example after putting up 275 points in one season parents made a petition to make kick Sidney out of the league. To solve this problem Sidney got put into a league where the guys were 2-3 years older than him. That season Sid put up 200 points. It was clear that Sidney would be a first round pick in the NHL. Later on Sidney joined the QJHL (Quebec Junior Hockey League) with the Rimouski Océanic. With his two seasons with them he put up over 150 points. It was clear that Sidney was ready for the NHL so he declared for the NHL draft. Everyone knew that Sid was going to be first overall pick but no one knew what team that would be lucky to have him. Then the day came the Pittsburg Penguins won the lottery draft and were granted the first overall pick. Sidney was drafted to the pens on July 30th 2005. The second Crosby was drafted he was an instant star. Everyone knew who Crosby was. Before he even made his debut he was already being compared to Gretzky for his outstanding skill.
