Watch Penguins' Sidney Crosby Gift New Car to Army Veteran Madeline Malizio
Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby celebrated Veterans Day a few days early this year.
The three-time Stanley Cup winner gifted the 2019 Honda Passport Elite that he won as last season's NHL All-Star Game MVP to Army veteran Madeline Malizio on Friday:
The 28-year-old single mother has served as a specialist in the Army for five years, according to NHL.com's Sam Kasan, and attends the Community College of Allegheny County in Pittsburgh "for legal studies." She did not previously own a car.
"Sidney Crosby got me a car!" Malizio told the media following her surprise, per Kasan. "It's been the best day ever. I can't even put into words how grateful I am and how blessed I feel for what he's done today."
Malizio will attend the Penguins' game against the visiting Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night at PPG Paints Arena as part of a larger Veterans Day celebration.
Maybe the Penguins and their 32-year-old captain will treat Malizio and other veterans in attendance to a win as well.
