Check out this footage. It is of a 9 year old who plays for the Portland Junior Pirates. Awesome.

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.

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.

I work with someone who knows him and from what he says he is all ready getting calls from colleges and Canadian teams

WGME interviewed him tonight while he was working out here in Saco at the new ice arena near my house. 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.
