I do think the kids who avoid contact will have some issues. I see some kids now who are excellent skaters with a lot of speed who want nothing to do with any type of body contact. Those are the ones who may not fare well and there's nothing necessarily wrong with not wanting to get smashed or smash someone yourself but seems necessary if you want to keep playing hockey.

It's snowing outside

I don’t know what everyone’s obsession with big players. The NHL has been proving for years now that size doesn’t matter as much as speed, skill, and hockey IQ. Just look at guys like Cale Makar, Brayden Point, and Alex DeBrincat. They might not be the biggest players on the ice, but they’re some of the best. Even shorter goalies like Juuse Saros have been dominating, showing that agility and positioning can outshine size in net. The league’s shift toward a faster, more skilled game has leveled the playing field, and these players are thriving because of it. Honestly, it’s way more exciting to watch hockey this way—where talent beats size every time.

Kids good but best goalie in the loop??? Don’t think ao

Talk about hyping a kid up—seems like someone’s fishing for attention. If he really had offers, there wouldn’t be any need for this kind of chatter. He's a good goalie & a great kid no doubt! If you want to talk facts, every time we’ve faced TRW, LV’s been pulled, and his goalie partner has come in and completely outshined him. My son thinks NH is way better. We must have had 50+ shots against him, and he only let in 5 goals.

It’s sad that some sour parents feel the need to trash other kids just to make theirs look better. Someone's insecure...
