Nova Scotia won't name street after Sidney Crosby until he retires

It appears as though Sidney Crosby won't be getting a street named after him in his home province of Nova Scotia anytime soon.

The city of Halifax had discussed renaming Dartmouth's Forest Hills Parkway to Sidney Crosby Parkway, but the staff is now advising against it. Crosby does not yet meet the existing criteria for commemorative naming because he's not retired, according to the Canadian Press' Alex Cooke.

A report states that while staff acknowledges "the broad range of positive impacts that Sidney Crosby's athletic achievements have on the local community," renaming the street after him would conflict with municipal policies, Cooke adds.

Exceptions cannot be made, even for a player like Crosby, who has won three Stanley Cups and two Olympic gold medals.

Other ideas are being floated around in order to commemorate his impact on the community, including the declaration of "Sidney Crosby Day," installing a public art project in his honor, and naming an existing Cole Harbour park after him.

The Cole Harbour native is not only one of the greatest hockey players ever, but he's arguably the most notable person born and raised in Nova Scotia.
