Crosby said he never went to a homecoming dance. At age 15, he attended Shattuck-Saint Mary's in Faribault, Minnesota to play for the school's hockey program before transfering to Harrison Trimble High School in Moncton, New Brunswick to play for the Rimouski Océanic of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
In lieu of college, he was selected with the No. 1 pick of the 2005 NHL Draft by the Penguins.
After 17 years in the League, Crosby finally got to ask someone to homecoming, even if it wasn't his own date.
