It was a weeknight game at the Cole Harbour community hockey rink just outside of Dartmouth, N.S., back in 1995. I was there to watch Sidney Crosby.

I interviewed the future star in the changing room. He was so little and was as cute as a bug. His feet didn’t touch the ground and he swung his legs back and forth during the interview.

I asked him if he hoped to make it to the NHL. He was polite and soft-spoken and thoughtful with his answers. There was no seven-year-old bravado or delusion of greatness.

“They say you have to do your best and work hard and things will happen. You can make it if you try,” he said.

and now he’s played 1000 games in the NHL…

“It’s never easy to get to a thousand games, and that man did it. All in a penguin uniform.”

Nothing was going right. Ever since Matthew woke up in the morning troubles seemed to follow him everywhere. He spilled hot coffee all over himself, burned his hand while preparing his breakfast, forgot his hockey gear on the way to the ice rink and when he returned home for it, he got stuck in traffic. Y/n was coming home after a few weeks of living in New York and he was strangely nervous about it though he had no reason to worry. Things were great between them; he was crazy for her and it seemed like she was crazy for him as well. But he felt like he needed to do something special to welcome her home but didn’t know what. She didn’t even like surprises.
