‘It was near unanimous’: Crosby to be honoured as top N.S. athlete of all time
HALIFAX — Hockey superstar Sidney Crosby may not be bringing the Stanley Cup home to Nova Scotia again this year, but he will still take centre stage at a unique event celebrating the province’s greatest athletes.
Crosby will be the headline attendee at a gala dinner Thursday honouring Nova Scotia’s top 15 athletes of all time.
The Cole Harbour, N.S., native added to a long list of accolades this year when he was voted the province’s number one athlete in a list compiled by the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame, which is holding the dinner and fundraiser at the Halifax Convention Centre.
Bruce Rainnie, the hall of fame’s CEO, said the list was voted on by 36 Nova Scotia athletes, coaches and media representatives, as well as by members of the public.
