Thunder Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) There was a pretty cool story this morning in La Presse. Early morning on Tuesday January 9, this 19 year-old kid from Tremblant (a touristic area about 90 minutes north of Montreal) was skating by himself in -15 celsius weather on an outside rink when this Jeep pulled into the parking lot. At first, he's kinda bummed because he was hoping to have the ice to himself, but he immediately recognizes the man stepping out of the vehicle. Sidney Crosby walks over, takes a closer look at the ice and the area and asks the kid if he's expecting the place to get busy. The kid tells him it's usually pretty quiet this early in the morning and asks him if he wants to join him for a skate. Crosby, who is on vacation with his girlfriend, goes back to his jeep to get his equipment and ends up skating with the guy for over an hour!
