Sidney Crosby has let people know what career he would have chosen if hockey hadn’t worked out. In a video shared by the Pittsburgh Penguins on X, Crosby said he would have been a firefighter.
The Pittsburgh Penguins shared a video on X with the caption:
“These guys would have led some interesting lives if hockey didn’t work out… “
In the video, players were asked:
“What would your career be if you didn’t play hockey?”
One by one, the players responded to the question in front of the camera and Sidney Crosby was among them.
“Firefighter,” Sidney Crosby replied.
Previously, in a 2008 interview for the Achieve Spring 2008 magazine, Crosby mentioned he would have considered being a firefighter or police officer. He liked the idea of an active job that brings something new each day.
“I think something like a fireman or police officer. I think something that would be an active job as well as having a job that brings something new each day,” Crosby said.
What did other players reply in the video?
A majority of the players chose humor as the perfect response to the question. Here are some of the answers that stood out.
“Magician,” Kevin Hayes said.
“Maybe I’d be, like, a real estate agent or something,” Bryan Rust said.
“Fishing guide in Sweden,” Sebastian Aho replied in what was a humorous response.
“Tennis Player Probably,” Jesse Puljujarvi said.
“Probably a teacher,” Owen Pickering said in response.
“Soccor, or golf maybe, maybe tennis,” Lars Eller said, preferring sports.
“Farmer,” John Ludvig said.
“Selling potatoes at the side of the road,” Ryan Graves said.
