“Forget about style; worry about results.” This quote that was written by former professional ice hockey player Bobby Orr, was one toughest maxim and inspiration of hockey players in Canada. One of them is the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL (National Hockey League), Sidney Crosby.

Sidney Crosby, a 24-year-old center that is popularly known “The Next One” will again be joining to ice for the Penguins on November 28! After his absence since January 5 because of post-concussion symptoms following a pair of collision due to head-first slammed into the boards by Tampa Bay’s Victor Hedman, he will be again play in an NHL game.

Penguins captain Crosby was allowed to resume contract training with his teammates by doctors last October 13, and his doctor Michael Collins who treated him said the NHL star suffered an injury that affected motion and spacial judgement, such a blow being among the hardest to recover from among concussions.

Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said on their website that Crosby will feels totally comfortable before and back to the level that he was playing when he went on that point streak. Sometimes Game 1 is on adrenaline and it takes a few games for players to get that timing back and speed of the game.”

Some were afraid that the captain might never play again, but Crosby himself said he has been confident throughout his rehabilitation and that he and the team wanted him to avoid coming back too soon.

Watch Crosby as he think of the goalies again! Welcome back, Sid!

Sidney Crosby returns!
