PITTSBURGH — This story originally appeared on pittsburghhockeynow.com

In what should come as no surprise to just about everyone, Team Canada on Thursday announced that Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby will serve a team captain for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.

Crosby, a generational and most likely all-time talent, will wear the ‘C’ as the NHL shuts down next month for a tournament with games in Montreal and Boston featuring Canada, the United States, Sweden and Finland.
