Crosby becomes Canada’s scoring leader at Olympics featuring NHLers

Captain Canada added another item to his long list of accolades Sunday at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina.

Rimouski Océanic legend Sidney Crosby (PIT) became Canada’s all-time scoring leader at NHL Olympics when he recorded his 15th point as part of a 10-2 win over France Sunday. The previous record belonged to fellow CHL alumnus Jarome Iginla.

Crosby is a previous two-time Olympic gold medallist (2010 / 2014) and famously scored the overtime winner in Vancouver in 2010 while he captained the 2014 squad. The 38-year-old also captained Canada to gold at the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off tournament and is a member of the exclusive Triple Gold club.

Drafted first overall in 2005, he has captained the Pittsburgh Penguins for 19 seasons, winning three Stanley Cups (2009 / 2016 / 2017), two Conn Smythe, two Hart, and two Art Ross trophies, while posting 20 straight point-per-game seasons.

Earlier this season, the Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia native recorded his 1,700th point and played in his 1,400th game. His 652 goals are currently the 15th most in NHL history.

Last week, Crosby – who won a QMJHL title with the Océanic in 2005 – was named as one of the Top 50 CHL players of the last 50 years.
