Sidney Crosby kicking off long 2025-26 season later this month with Team Canada

Sidney Crosby extended his 2024-25 season by playing in the World Championships, and he’s going to be getting a de facto early start on 2025-26 in Calgary at the end of this month.

Crosby was included in the 42 players invited to Team Canada’s Olympic orientation camp in Calgary from August 26-28. That’s no surprise, since Crosby was already named in the first six players to the Canadian national team and is again expected to captain his homeland for the 2026 Olympics in Milan.

Kyle Dubas is also involved with Team Canada, serving as their director of player personnel.
