The pride of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia will lead the way once more on the international hockey stage.
Sidney Crosby, captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins, will wear the ‘C’ and be captain for Team Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off coming up next month.
It’s going to be the fourth time Sidney has captained Canada at a best-on-best tournament.

His incredible run features gold medal wins at the 2010 and 2014 Olympics and a championship win at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.

Cale’s teammate Cole Harbour’s Nathan MacKinnon and Hammonds Plains Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins will also wear the Canadian red and white.

Good luck to all our Bluenosers.
