Sidney Crosby: 

The Penguins have an interview with Pens GM, Ray Shero up on their site

“Everyone is excited, from the coaches, to the fans, to management and ownership. There are 30 teams that are excited about getting started. It’s been a rollercoaster over the last several months. Every time it seemed close it would fall apart. You get your hopes up and it doesn’t work out. Finally it’s come to fruition. Hopefully, this is a CBA that the league and everyone can thrive in; we’re still awaiting details on the deal. We’re excited to start training camp.”

“Training camp has been worked out from a coaching and teaching standpoint. We’re still waiting on details of length, is it going to be a 7-day camp? A 5-day camp? Either way we’ll be ready. Our plans have been in place for a while. Our equipment staff is ready, medical staff is ready, and I assume the players will be ready. Every team has been prepared for a shorter training camp. We’ll be ready to go.”

And on the fans...

“We appreciate their support. It’s been a rollercoaster for everybody. We hope we can come back and put a product on the ice worth coming out to see and that people will be excited to watch. Hopefully, this long-term CBA will help continue to grow the sport and move in the right direction, bring the fans back and win some new fans.”

And then there's Kris Letang, who signed with a KHL team, flew to Russia...then the lockout ended and he's flying back. He put on a jersey, took some pics but never actually played in a game
