D S H O O T S : L e f t POSITION: THE BALDWIN FILE Minnetonka HOMETOWN: HEIGHT: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS CAPTAIN SIDNEY CROSBY has a pretty impres- sive resume, highlighted by three Stanley Cup Championships. University of Minnesota captain Sydney Baldwin has five championships, including three straight state titles with Minnetonka High School (2011, 2012, 2013) and two back-to-back national ban- ners as a Gopher (2015, 2016). The senior defenseman, and 2014 Ms. Hockey winner, talks hockey success, her passion for travel and the importance of a solid musical playlist for both. MHJ // Has your senior season in Dinkytown been everything you'd imagined? Sydney Baldwin // Yeah it has been. It's a little bitter- sweet knowing this is my final year but I'm excited for the rest of the season. It's been great so far with the team on and off the ice. We continue to make strides on the ice which is great. I'm just continuing to enjoy every practice and every moment before it's over. MHJ // What do you remember about putting that Minnesota jersey on for the first time? Baldwin // It's crazy, I can remember it so vividly. It was an accumulation of all the hard work on the ice and in the weight room. It's like all the work you put in had finally paid off, not to say all the work is done once you get to college, but you're finally there. You're in the Gopher jersey and finally playing for this team. It's awesome, I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd want to spend my four years at both on the university side and the athletic side.
