Sure, but how many of these kids played together and couldn't even make it to the finals. They all have pieces but none of them are a cut above. The most athletic and dedicated will start to pull away over the coming year or two as those who weren't early puberty kids catch up. Would be nice to see someone play who you can say 'that kids going to be a superstar' but I don't see it for this age group.

Another savant who can tell the future. Must be a top scout. Save your guesses. They add no value.

The Canadian system is designed to produce superstars at the sacrifice of producing mass NHL'ers. Everyone wants to pour all the energy, attention, extra ice, money etc etc at the early developer (usually an early maturer). The marketing machine then takes over...promote, promote promote the same kids for years and cross your fingers something happens. It is beyond dumb and most times you are ending up with a Shane Wright. Really okay hockey player but NO superstar as was touted all along.

Define superstar? Let’s assume the nhl consists of 5% superstars. That’s only 30 superstars from around the world and of all ages. And you think it’s a disappointment that you don’t see one in the 2011 age group in the GTHL. Give your head a shake you clown!

nhl superstar, lol... you must be joking. those kids don't play in their age group. I mean someone who is going to light it up in mm or possibly the o and then maybe have a sniff of the nhl. nobody really gives off that vibe. that's not to say it won't happen for one of these kids, but that separation from the pack just isn't there.

Just remember. If your kid is being mentioned here good or bad it means he’s a good player because people are talking about him. Everyone knows it. If he wasn’t no one would be talking about him. So if he’s getting trashed it means jealous people that know nothing are lying about things and can’t get over things. I saw SW get trashed on here for years and he ends up being the 4th overall NHL pick. Keep talking most people on here know nothing.
