Sidney Crosby donates car he won as NHL All-Star Game MVP to local veteran

PITTSBURGH — Imagine getting a brand-new car. Now imagine that it was Pittsburgh Penguins legend Sidney Crosby who handed you the keys.

That was the situation for one local veteran Friday, according to the Pittsburgh Penguins website.

The team's website reported that Madeline Malizio was an Army Specialist for five years, attending CCAC for legal studies, and is a single mother. She didn't own a car.

Crosby heard about her situation, according to the website, and met her Friday following the team's practice. He walked her to a corner of the team's practice facility, opened a garage door and there sat Malizio's new wheels: a 2019 Honda Passport that Crosby had won as MVP of the 2019 NHL All Star Game.
