thehockeynews.comSidney Crosby’s rookie year in the NHL was the 2005-06 season, where he posted 102 points (39 goals, 63 assists) for the Pittsburgh Penguins and finished as the runner-up for the Calder Memorial Trophy as rookie of the year. He also became the youngest player in NHL history at the time to reach 100 points in a season.
