REASON #59He's SI's Cover Boy for their Olympics Edition
(in Canada)
[UPDATE] Just learned that the US cover features Lindsay Vonn and the picture of Sid on the cover is in the center (THANKS, Val!)!!!
Here's the cover and a story to go with it (I believe that this cover of SI is only available in Canada).

Very nice picture! I wish they'd had multiple covers available in all markets. The one we picked up last night had Lindsay Vonn (Team USA skier) on the cover. I like seeing female athletes get their due, but I'd have preferred this one given the choice.
The article's good, too. I particularly liked the way the author discussed the challenges he and his parents had while becoming/raising a future elite athlete. The author described the timing of his day with the Cup as "cute and superstitious", and I thought, "Well, what's more Sidney Crosby than that?" People who hate him won't like him any better after reading that article, but it's awesome anyway.
I love when SI acctually acknowledges hockey, but I hate when it's only in Canada. Don't they realize that there's American's who are cheering on Team Canada's hockey team; or at least would like to see what's going on north of the border? I don't know...*goes and hugs her Stanley Cup edition* Maybe I can find it online...I'm not a skiing fan. :/
*scurries off to read the article.*
yep. it is only available in canada. you cant order it off the SI website (I tried)[. TO EBAY!!! (you know.. it would be awesome if jords was on the cover...but alas.. no team canada for him :-( )
i wish that I could get it... :(
Definitely a REALLY REALLY good pic of him though!!!!
Totally buying this magazine.
Mmmmmmm<3
I got my copy with Lindsay Vonn on the cover yesterday in the mail and was excited to see her, and when I opened it up to Sid, he was as purty as always, same picture that is on the SI Canada cover in the center of the mag. I'll take it!
@ Val:
So wait. The article is in the US copies, too? Or just the picture? Or both? Because if there's hockey in there, screw the cover, I'll go get one.
I read the article. Crosby is not only an amazing hockey player, but an amazing guy! I can't believe how jealous people were! They practically threatened to kill him! And poor Crosby would cry! Crosby's character is what really makes him the best player ever. He's a perfectionist...and Max thinks he's crazy, but he's getting better and keeps growing and learning. He's truly a hockey hero in my mind and I wish I had as much drive as he has.
What an incredible article. So well written and not a bunch of cliches at all. I was honestly worried about how an article in SI would read about a hockey player.
Sid and his family are amazing. Such genuinely good people, but truly how scary that adults would mock and threaten a child! Sports parents can be so ugly. I wonder how much crap his sister has to take just because he's her brother. I hope people lay off her.
He is truly the best role model I can think of. Not just on the ice, but most definitely off the ice too. It has to be hard on him. I have no idea how he endures it all. I would fall to pieces under that much scrutiny in a week!
While I'll be rooting for Team USA to pull off another miracle, I'll be secretly wishing team Canada the best.
