Penguins' Crosby Named an Officer of the Order of Canada
On Thursday, news broke that star NHL center Sidney Crosby was named an Officer of the Order of Canada for contributions to his country. Crosby joins 98 others, including key contributors in academics, arts, medicine, law and other areas critical to our society.
Rob Rossi of The Athletic writes: Crosby will be an officer of the Order of Canada for "being one of the greatest hockey players of all time and for supporting community service initiatives for youth."
The Order of Canada is one of the country's highest honours. It recognizes folks on every societal level who have made extraordinary and sustained contributions to our nation. DESIDERANTES MELIOREM PATRIAM, which translates to 'They desire a better country,' is the motto of the Order.
As a hockey player, for Crosby to be included in this year's honors list is no small matter. As if he hadn't already, Crosby now stands as a pillar of Canadian society, symbolizing leadership, devotion to one's craft, excellence, and community.
An incredible honor for the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
