Angelo Greek got to experience the opportunity of a lifetime when he attended the Sidney Crosby Hockey School last month.

The son of Michael and Michelle Greek, Angelo was picked to take part in the five-day hockey camp with the Pittsburgh Penguins star at his hometown Cole Harbour Place in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, skating on the same rink Crosby did when he was growing up.Though not the product of hockey fans, Angelo fell in love with the sport when he attended a Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins game at 7-years-old.Angelo stepped onto the ice for the first time at eight-years-old when Lake Hauto froze, taking along a beat-up stick to play. It was that moment Angelo fell in love with the sport.Despite living nearly an hour from the nearest ice skating rink, Angelo honed his skills traveling to Learn to Skate and Learn to Play programs and clinics.When he was nine-years-old, Angelo expressed his desire to become a goalie. For his 10th birthday, Angelo asked to go to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. It was there that he was fitted for his first set of goalie pads, a position he's played since.Angelo has proven to be a quick learner, as his teams have won championships and experienced a great deal of success.Part of the process for Angelo's selection was a letter, "Why Pick Me?," submitted by a parent or the person submitting the registration form. The essay outlined what the sport, and the chance to attend the camp, meant to Angelo."We've logged many miles over the past few years to Wilkes-Barre for practice, games, and to see the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins play. He is a huge Pittsburgh Penguins and Sidney Crosby fan. His bedroom contains everything Penguins and we call it the "Igloo". Angelo is a respectful, polite, dedicated boy who is a good student and a Cub Scout. Attending this camp would further develop his abilities and also be a dream come true," the letter stated.The camp, which was for boys and girls ages 9-12, included on-ice skill development, dry-land and other off-ice activities and included special guest presentations.The school benefits the Sidney Crosby Foundation, which "was established to financially assist charities that improve the lives of disadvantaged children."
