Sidney Crosby chats with Ariel Helwani for an exclusive conversation on his Olympic journey, his motivation this season, and what it will take to compete for Canada again on the world stage. He reflects on the iconic 2010 Golden Goal, the possibility of becoming the first Canadian to win three Olympic hockey gold medals, and when he officially turns his attention to Milan 2026.
Crosby also opens up about leadership, the Team Canada group chat, his reaction to the Four Nations tournament, life without social media, and whether he’d accept the honour of being Canada’s flagbearer. He has just been announced as a Lululemon ambassador for Team Canada for the Winter Olympics.

Former hockey player here..still huge hockey fan and also huge MMA fan. Ariel with Sidney is something i never expected 😁 greetings from Slovakia!
What a crossover
Why is my tax dollar paying Ariel Helwani???? Why is cbc using my tax dollar to pay this grifter? CBC needs to stop taking my hard earned money and paying this fraud
Epic interview thank you
Sid’s Daytona is really catching a lot of light, creating so much lens flares on his left side 😉
Love this!
Oh wow cbc isn't limiting comments
What a great interview!
Ill never forget that 2010 goal❤❤

Ok this is peak crossover
Canada for gold, but want to have some competition. We need Russia there too
WHAT THE F*CK!? Now this is the Helwani we miss. Screw Jake Paul. INTERVIEW REAL ATHELETES
Could we possibly see Ariel interview another Canadian royalty, The Hockey Guy?
No Russian equals asterisk
🐐
Great interview
Wish I could watch this but anything from the corrupt broadcasting corporation is a no go for me, I’ll fund them unfortunately to put out censored biased government propaganda, helwaninyour lowering your stock linking up with this propaganda arm of the government
Good job Ariel.
Ariel, its time to come home to Canada.
