Crosby was Canadian player of the year for the last two seasons

Sidney Crosby, the top pick in this year's NHL draft, signed officially with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday.
The three-year deal will pay the 18-year-old Crosby £460,000 a season, the maximum allowed under the league's new collective bargaining agreement.
Crosby said: "It's nice to have that out of the way. I am looking forward to getting on the ice every day."
Crosby, the new wonder-kid of ice hockey, has been likened to Penguins great and part-owner Mario Lemieux.
