I thought that too. IQ was so off the charts at World Juniors… was like peewee hockey for him

Love how well this comment aged.

@@TheFamousUnderground me too!

How’s you know it’s be Blackhawk and not any other team

@@Dharm1k987 I can predict the future

​@@The-Capitalist What are next weeks powerball numbers?

get him to ducks, Zegras, Mctavish, Bedard then drysdale, and zellenger

Ducks or blue jackets

Nah i heard through the grapevine, that there is a unknown goalie called "The Berlin Wall" which caught the eye of the hockey scouts. The nhl prospect is currently training in some unknown location in the EU.

​@@misternobodysixtynine now, that is funny.

Awesome release defiantly but best release is ovechkin Greatest-goal scorer

Its interesting that he's literally both feet off the ice allowing his whole body weight to come down into the stick. Helps he uses a 65 flex too!

he uses 71 flex i think a tiny bit higher, but its crazy to see his shot mechanics

He has too pick up the pace though, he's behind the rest of his league 😂😂

I was destined to make the NHL until an unknown like Sidney Crosby was selected ahead of me and that changed the whole trajectory of the draft. It’s all just a popularity contest.

LOL

I know these comments were in three months ago, but the Chicago Blackhawks picked him as the #1 draft pick for 2023

Or you mean nhl because hes in the NHL now

Lowky same, and since doing it I’ve scored so much more

I’m old, and we played with wood (heh heh), and I can’t say enough how much the modern sticks have changed the game. You can do things you never could before.

But will they have the drive to work at it and IQ to execute.

same

Of all time 🙌

Dude can score goals!

For real, when i was at the rink last week, a parent was talking to a coach, saying the family thinks they could get exceptional status, and he’s playing 12u a in Florida it’s crazy

@@rnfdangles the insanity is real. I never made it big in life, but my kid is…then he’s gonna pay off my mortgage, get me a new car, and I can retire…because I helped him along the way. LOL

@@jdhrap You ain't kidding. My college bud didn't do well in college football. Now his kid is in high getting broken bones and recently a concussion. Yup we are going to NFL 🤞

@@radiohead2206 sounds like the only place that kid is going is to the doctor.

Nothing wrong with trying to take it as far as you can, but yeah, some parents need to lighten up. Even at the top level, the game is supposed to be fun.

For sure

GO HAWKS 😬👍

Won’t happen the Blackhawks will secure him for a long time 😁😁

And 10 months later they are! 😮

How many years is that then til he signs with say a mcdavid? ... and Marner? in some other city... returns home... and wins us a cup? Ill be patient... lol

Don't compare him to any other hockey kid. He just broke a scoring record for Canada players that Eric Lindros held for a long time. Eric in the hall of fame !!

Happens in all sports everywhere. It’s not luck to be good, but you do need some good fortune to get the right kind of exposure and get on the right teams. It is what it is. Not saying I’m pro caliber, but I went through it in my playing days. Parents didn’t have the money or connections to get me on the right elite teams in the offseason, plus they didn’t party and fraternize with coaches and other parents. I don’t know if that’s just hockey, but that kind of thing is prevalent. Kids get shut out if their parents aren’t in the right crowd. It’s a weird sport.

It’s very true, but if you’re good enough those things won’t matter! Everyone hated my dad, he was loud and opinionated. He knew what he was talking about, but the other parents and coaches didn’t like him. My brother was good, but not good enough, and he would always get cut from the AA rep teams. I was never cut, because I was “very” good. Too good to cut. If I wasn’t as good as I was I’d be in the same boat. I feel bad for my brother looking back because it wasn’t like he was much worse than me, but being two years older he wasn’t a “top” player in his age group so it was easier to cut him…. We both played AAA Team Okanagan super series. I was ranked 2nd in BC for my birth year and played Team BC super series. But in the end, it got me nowhere because I lost any drive I had. Nothing to do with politics at that point!

You know you can just turn off the volume

Whats the name of it

What he lacks in size, he makes up for with speed and his shots.

100% agree, “too small” doesn’t exist now like it used to. Being small just means a harder path, and a different play style, but look at the league, Hughes is best in points he’s “smaller” now its the bedard show. Being too small doesn’t change a thing

🤣

tell me when your in a league that you run before you are 19, bros making bank
