Pittsburgh Penguin and Canadian hockey star Sidney Crosby is carrying the Olympic torch through the streets of downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia on Nov. 16, 2009.

The Canadian hockey star grew up in Cole Harbour, a suburb of Halifax. There must be something in the water, as other NHL players include Joe DiPenta, Cam Russell and Craig Hillier.

The Olympic Torch Relay started on Oct. 30, 2009 in Victoria, BC and will travel 45,000 km throughout Canada before arriving in Vancouver, BC for the start of the 2010 Winter Games.

    About Me

    I'm a professional freelance writer and photographer who has been in the journalism 'biz since 1988. I live on a small farm on an island in Puget Sound with my husband, chickens, turkeys and our very own field of dreams. When I'm not packing and unpacking from exploring the seven continents (yup, I've done 'em all), I enjoy theater, movies, jazz, fine food, heavenly spas and long dinner parties with my family and friends. Oh, I grew up in the '60s and I sort of remember it through the haze.
