Can’t believe this is only 3 years ago. He grew up so fast.

Update: He’s working at Tim Horton’s with Nathan MacKinnon.

"The next couple years are the most important so I've gotta stay level-headed and focus on the years ahead of me." That's such a powerful sentence. He's well aware of his ability, hit potential and his next steps, but he doesn't get hot-headed about it. Unbelievable humility from a kid of his potential.

I wish they could do a, “where are they now?” segment...I wanna know what happened to him!?

Kid is has bust written all over him, he will never make it

[robertstroud]

Sid had a solid mentor as a kid. It shows. Quality human being, the Kid is.

My teammate played goalie against him when he was 14, he said they played Sidney on D after the 2nd period because he scored too much

[sillythygoose]

He’s too small he’ll never make it to the nhl

[VaughnCheezy]

He’s been focused since day 1, incredible talent.

[marcmoretti]

It's funny that he basically looks and sounds exactly the same in 2021

[amosainger]

Watching this in 2021, and knowing all his accomplishments is pretty cool

[Compy]

Crosby scored 95 goals and had 193 points in 74 games that season (playing, as the video says, against some players three years older).

Little did he know that one day he would get a beauty pass from Jarome Iginla and then score the Gold Medal winning goal in overtime for Team Canada...

[gregmadore]

His parents did an amazing job raising him. The closest player I would say that could even come close to be in the same category as the great one

[PoorManChef]

Why Did the subtitles call him a Cannabis Kid? 🤣

[vithursan.b]

Im from the future, this kid ended up becoming one of the best centerman to play hockey

[JM-ynmb]

Meh, he'll be a fringe NHLer at best

[the_real_goofy]

This kid's got a lot of potential, he should play in the NHL some day...

[BobBob-tmfd]

1:03 that’s a pretty interesting team name😂

[DeathWish]

That's a future golden goal scorer
