Sidney the Hairdresser?

Our favourite Calder candidate may have been giving frosted tips to hair rather than tipping picks into opposing nets.

From a Readers Digest Quiz:

When hockey sensation Sidney Crosby was six, he dreamed of playing in the NHL or pursuing what other career?

Correct Answer: hairdresser

According to Sidney’s mom, “When he was six, Sidney and I would play hairdresser. One day we were driving to practice and he said, ‘Dad, I don't know if I want to play in the NHL or be a hairdresser.’ Shocked, his dad said, ‘Well, Sid, uh, you don’t have to make any suggestions just yet.’ We didn’t play hairdresser anymore.” Learn more about the NHL’s Next One, Sidney Crosby, in an exclusive interview only in the October issue of Reader’s Digest.

Good thing he woke up to reality!
