HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) Sidney Crosby will mark his 30th birthday by once again parading the Stanley Cup in his province.

In tweets sent out by the Sidney Crosby Hockey School, Crosby said he would hoist the trophy in the streets of Halifax and Dartmouth as part of an annual civic parade.

"Get ready, the Stanley cup is coming to town!" Crosby confirmed in the tweet sent late Tuesday night. "I will be taking Lord Stanley to the streets Monday August 7th in the Halifax-Dartmouth Natal Day parade."
