Pittsburgh Penguins forward Sidney Crosby won the Stanley Cup. Now he’s keeping it with him for awhile.
The star hockey player will be taking the Stanley Cup to his hometown in Nova Scotia show it off.
A parade is planned in Crosby’s honor that will feature the Cup, and he will have a question-and-answer session with fans.
There is also a hall of fame being planned for the Penguins star that will showcase some of the odd things he used to practice when he was younger.

Pittsburgh Penguins playoff hero Maxime Talbot has undergone surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder.
He is expected to miss training camp and at least the beginning of next season, which is a big blow for the Penguins.
It will take four to five months for Talbot to recover from the injury, making it questionable whether he will return to the ice before 2010.
The forward scored both goals in the team’s 2-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings in Game 7 to clinch the Stanley Cup.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-signed veteran forward Bill Guerin to a one-year contract.
Guerin played a pivotal role in helping the team win the Stanley Cup and reach the Finals for the second straight year.
He wanted to return to Pittsburgh so badly that he took a significant pay cut in order to do just that.
Now he will have the chance to play for the defending Stanley Cup champions and try to help the team to accomplish a rare repeat.
