All-Star selections more meaningful to Crosby as he gets older

Related Topics: Sidney Crosby

Sidney Crosby's All-Star Game selection last week marked the ninth time he's been chosen for the honor, following selections in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

The All-Star weekend is set to be held in Sunrise, Fla. at the home of the Florida Panthers, with the skills competition taking place on Feb. 3 and the game the following day, Feb. 4.

Of those eight prior selections, Crosby has only actually played in half of those games. Four times he has been selection for an All-Star Game and missed out on the event due to injury.
