HALIFAX — As Sidney Crosby prepares to carry the Stanley Cup through his hometown, he says in many ways a championship tour is all the sweeter the second time around.
The Pittsburgh Penguins captain is in Halifax this week and will bring the cup to the city on Saturday for a parade.
Through this week he's running a hockey camp at the rink in the suburb of Cole Harbour where he refined his skills and was first scouted as a future NHL star.
Crosby said during a news conference Wednesday that he appreciated winning more this time around after a challenging regular season.
The Penguins beat the San Jose Sharks in six games in June to capture their fourth championship in franchise history and Crosby's second.
The 28-year-old Crosby will also bring back the Conn Smythe trophy as the post-season MVP after scoring six goals and 13 assists in 24 games.
