COLE HARBOUR, Nova Scotia --The staging area Saturday was the church parking lot where Sidney Crosby played street hockey as a kid.
"I don't think I ever thought I'd be starting off a Stanley Cup parade there," Crosby said.
The 1.1-mile parade route he traveled while standing in the back of a Ford F-150 truck with the Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe Trophy is one Crosby could probably drive in his sleep if he had to.
