Crosby’s decision comes at a time when the Penguins are focusing on a mix of veteran leadership and developing young talent. His presence both on and off the ice continues to inspire teammates and define the culture of the franchise.

As he nears the twilight of a remarkable career, Crosby remains driven to help the Penguins compete for another championship.

“As long as I can contribute and help this team win, I’ll keep pushing,” he said. “There’s still work to do — and I want to do it right here in Pittsburgh.”
