2016-17 Kunlun Red Star KHL 17 0 0 0 2 0

I'm sure it has been quite entertaining for the Chinese fans

You do realize that is not Ying, right? Start drinking Gatorade and get off the Haterade.

Maybe if you send him some fan mail he will get your kid a tryout for their farm team.

17 games 0 pts 2 PIM. He's a stud. "Haterade"????

You must feel like an ass calling out the wrong Chinese kid. Stop hating buddy. Sorry you spent 20k per year on your kid and he is playing beer league now.

It is the right kid, but then again, he is on the ice for such a small amount of time, it would be easy to get it confused. Keep paying for those skills, I suspect that entitles him to play in the KHL, lord knows he never earned it playing for any team

Doesn't matter who the picture was of--one Chinese hockey player is the same as the other. Only 1 legit Chinese player on the team and its not Rudi Ying. 23 yo Zach Yuen, Chinese-Canadian, actually has a hockey resume, unlike Ying, who just plays one in his daddy's dreams.

Guy on my Men's league Beer league team played in the Q a few years ago. Don't forget the old adage " all roads lead to Men's League around here"

Wow - I feel horrible for you. You obviously are not that bright. The video is not Rudi Ying it is Xia Tianxiang another player of Asian descent. Ying didn't even play that game. Please seek an appointment with a neurologist. You may have experienced severe head trauma as a child. Perhaps you ate a lot of lead paint chips as a kid?

Please don't post here unless you know what you are talking about.

Post didn't say it was Ying. You think he's the only little Chinese boy on his team with an 0-fer for the season whose daddy bought his spot?

Nice cover up but the post on 10/26 @ 7:55 clearly states it's him. Well it ain't. Sorry douchey your were wrong and don't stereotype.

Stereotype Chinese players that are on Beijing team that have zeros across stat line as being terrible players and having positions on team purely for the sake of publicity? Not stereotyping if it's true.

Kudos to you though for completely hijacking an interesting thread for your own feeble attempt at promoting an eh Chinese hockey player

You'd be doing the same if you could for your kid, douche!

The best players don't need their daddies to promote them.

Daddies? Spell check moron

Daddies, plural of daddy. Back to first grade for you.

Not terrible. Made varsity but sought out other opportunities. Not sure if his dad has an ownership stake but he is a famous Producer/Director in China. So I guess we don't have to worry about him if this hockey thing doesn't pan out.

Correct. He was on varsity both years, played his junior year but senior year went to VJW. He's been working with Gary Roberts as well as RHA Academy. I bet he puts up some decent numbers in his first season, let's see!

The kid got 1 assist in 1 varsity season at Exeter! You are smoking crack. Pure publicity stunt.

That's better then the ZERO you got playing JV your senior year!!!!!! Hahahhaahahha!

Sorry your boy is playing beer league!

Very familiar with the Rudy Ying situation, the kid played no better than 3-4 line at Exeter, kid has some skill, but had no interest in mixing it up on the ice, was mostly a spectator while he played. The family is loaded! Dad is some kind of famous talk show host on Chinese tv. Rudy's spot on that KHL team in China has been bought and paid for by the father, that's what they've done during the kids whole life.

As was stated earlier he has been working with Gary Roberts and RHA academy all summer. He's only 18 and he can still improve. He's in the KHL NOW let's see what happens and give him a chance.

What does it matter who he is working with, the family can write checks out their butt, he didn't earn nor does he belong in the KHL. this is all because of his father's checkbook

How the **** do YOU know? Watch a lot of KHL do you?

I swear, the "rich people suck" mentality here is ridiculous. If the team finds it worthwhile economically both for the publicity it could create in a nation with 1.4 billion people, and anything the dad may (or may not) be doing to grease the wheel, how are you qualified to say he doesn't belong?

Professional sports is entertainment. Grow up.

Yes, it will be entertaining. Thank you for your input Mrs. Ying

Right on and we all know most folks would do the same for their child if they could. So zip it up and see how if plays out before writing this kid off!

so what your saying is, if a parent writes the check to the right skating clinics, they deserve to pass everyone else to have a spot on a KHL team, even though the kid could barely play prep?? Keep writing those checks Mrs. Ying, your kid will learn a lot from that.

No, what we're saying is, a team based in CHINA gave him a spot. What their reasons are, are their reasons, and you have no clue what they are.

Tell us, how many Kunlun Red Star games did you see last season?

The Chinese Ice Hockey Association also saw fit to have him be the Captain of their U18 team at the World Juniors, too.

Who they decide to have him work with is their business. Imagine that, an 18 year old trying to develop his game.

Hate to burst the haters bubbles out there but rudi just wrapped preseason and he put some points on the board. First season game is next week so tune in online with your little johnnie. KHL is the big show little bo peep.

It's amazing what money can buy you, especially in China

The kid from China that played prep? C'mon. Average player for around here. Nice story because hockey just getting started in China but please.

As opposed to the 21 year old frosh on a US College roster?

Average age for freshmen hockey players in NCAA is 21.

Who's to say he was "led astray"?? The kid is a late '99 and probably hadn't gotten much college attention yet, if any, and was seeing tiny 00s and 01s getting commits. He wasn't drafted in the USHL (or even the Q) and he got an opportunity out of the blue. If the team's GM hadn't turned over, he'd probably be happy as a clam in the Q and would probably finally get some recognition. As it is, he may actually get MORE attention from colleges now than he would have because they've at least heard his name. Losing one year of eligibility may turn out to have been a small price to pay.

If a kid isn't getting NCAA attention from schools he'd like to attend, why not go to the Q? Q teams offer educational packages that can be used anywhere. True, they wouldn't cover the whole price of college, but they'd help and a player who hasn't gotten much attention from college hockey wouldn't be getting much of a package either if he eventually does get an offer.

Comment was made by a guy who wasn't contacted by any advisors. So, naturally, anyone that has one is an idiot.

So many people on these boards act like what is happening to someone else's kid is somehow negatively impacting them.
