Records and landmarks
Before QMJHL training camp began last summer, Wayne Gretzky stunned the hockey world saying that a young 16-year-old player named Sidney Crosby, who had yet to play a game at junior level, could be the first one to break some of his records. As the QMJHL 2003-04 regular season is coming close to an end, the least you can say about Crosby’s junior debut that he went well over expectations.
To give an idea of the impact of Crosby on the Rimouski Oceanic team, note that this .500 club recorded a mere win, eight losses and two draws when he was off the roster for 11 straight games during the World Junior Championship. Over that period, the offensive of the Oceanic slumped from an average of 4 goals per game to a mere 2.4.
