Nova Scotia plan to honor Crosby hits roadblock

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia -- How's this for a slap shot to the ego: Sidney Crosby is not getting a road named for him in his home province.

It seems one of hockey's greatest players does not meet the criteria for commemorative naming because he has not yet retired.

The Pittsburgh Penguins captain has won three Stanley Cups and two Olympic gold medals. Over the summer, he was voted the province's No. 1 athlete by the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame.

But when it comes to changing the name of Dartmouth's Forest Hills Parkway to Sidney Crosby Parkway, a roadblock is now up.
