In case you weren't aware, Pittsburgh Penguins' captain Sidney Crosby still has a great deal of influence in the sport of hockey.

And that showed on Saturday at an off-day practice in Vancouver. 

At the practice, fans - in particular, young fans - showed up in droves to watch Crosby and the Penguins take the ice, quite literally packing the arena to near-capacity.

Do you think Sid is still hockey's biggest draw in Canada?
