By Sean Facey
Sidney Crosby will forever be a legend in Pittsburgh for his amazing feats on the ice, but his acts of kindness outside the rink shouldn't be lost on anybody. In celebration of Veterans Day, the Penguins star gave the SUV he won for earning All-Star Game MVP honors last year to a local military veteran.

The man really knows how to make an impact on his team and on the lives of the fans who support them.
Crosby won the car thanks to his efforts in the All-Star festivities in which he notched four goals and four assists. It was the first time he had ever won MVP, but the opportunity to give back to this veteran was simply too good to pass up.
“Sidney Crosby got me a car!"

The donated car came as part of an event at the team's practice facility meant to honor veterans, and suffice it to say, Crosby did a good job of giving back.
