Check out this footage. It is of a 9 year old who plays for the Portland Junior Pirates. Awesome. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_d ... nhl,195876

That was pretty impressive. Of course, if he had missed, the announcers would've been like "You suck, 9 year old kid! Go back home and cry to mommy!"

He ended up being the #1 play on ESPN last night. Barry Melrose was pretty impressed.

That's too funny. Of course, I wouldn't suggest he try that in an actual game. Especially against the older kids he plays with.
I actually didn't think picking the puck up with your stick was legal.

I actually didn't think picking the puck up with your stick was legal. A college player from Michigan a few years ago picked the puck up on his stick from behind the net and wrapped around to stuff it in. To be 9 and have that skill level is astonishing. I bet he is having quite the day at school today.

What's the age limit for a contract offer? I bet he's gotten a few inquiries from agents, anyway.

His skating and stick handling is unbelievable for a 9 year old. He actually did the same move except this time he went between his legs. The kid is a prodigy. Barry Melrose also interviewed him tonight on ESPN. Amazing stuff.

That kid is unreal, and I love the goalie's complete "wtf" reaction.
