The NHL awards ceremonies turned into The Sidney Crosby Show as the 19-year-old superstar scored an impressive off-ice hat trick Thursday night.The youngest player in league history to win the Art Ross Trophy as scoring champion won the Hart Trophy from writers as most valuable player and the Pearson Award from his peers as most outstanding player.
Crosby was recently named captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins and after winning the most coveted individual awards in hockey he was asked if he’d just had the best two weeks of his life.
"I haven’t won the Stanley Cup yet so ask me after that," he replied during the post-awards news conference. "But this has been a couple of memorable weeks."
The Cole Harbour teen became the seventh player in league history to pull off the Ross-Hart-Pearson hat trick.

Congratulations to all the winners, but a big :up to Sid and Evgeni Malkin for winning the Calder Trophy as top rookie. A good night for the Penguins.
