With Sidney Crosby’s win at the 2007 NHL Awards Gala on Thursday night, the 19-year-old from Cole Harbour, NS became the 16th Team Canada medalist to also win the Hart Trophy.

The Pittsburgh Penguins forward, who won a gold medal with the National Junior Team in 2005 and a silver medal with the National Junior Team in 2004, beat out New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur and Vancouver netminder Roberto Luongo, who also would have joined the list if they had taken home the hardware.
