Hey there, time traveller!

HALIFAX — Sidney Crosby has added another iconic piece of hardware to the collection he’s hoisted in his stellar hockey career — the Olympic torch.
Hundreds of people lined a downtown Halifax street Wednesday to watch the captain of the Stanley Cup-winning Pittsburgh Penguins carry the torch.
Clad in an official torchbearer uniform, the 22-year-old ran about 300 metres before passing the Olympic flame to snowboarder Sarah Conrad, a native of Dartmouth, N.S.
Crosby, whose hometown of Cole Harbour lies across the harbour from Halifax, was one of 12,000 torchbearers tasked with carrying the flame across Canada as part of a massive relay.
The flame touched down in Nova Scotia on Monday morning.
The torch relay began its trek in Victoria last month and will make stops in every province and territory leading up to the Winter Games in Vancouver in February.
