OK, and where is "your son" playing now? My guess is not at any level respected in the hockey world. Also, glad to know and I am impressed that you personally know 2 dads whose kids are in the NHL. Does that make you an expert? If you kid stayed with Dynamic maybe he would be a better player.

You are obviously clueless!

Is it at all possible that since you are part of the hockey media you are seeing these players and, perhaps more importantly, their families, at their very best?

My son is in the same birth year as these three players, has played with and against all three, and believe me, they are not exactly known among the boys in the locker room as good teammates. I have heard the same thing all the way to the USNTDP or, in the case of TJW, in the way he reacted to not making the NTDP.

As for the dads, I have interacted with two of them personally, and they think their kids' **** don't stink. I also know personally two dads whose sons are now in the NHL. They are great guys to talk hockey with, and extremely level-headed about their millionaire sons. So isn't envy, or some sort of personal bias.

I happen to agree that KB is a good guy, my kid's been through Dynamic more than once, but I also understand that a lot of people have had a different experience. It isn't up to me to tell people how they should think about someone. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And BTW, it isn't "by far the best around." It's good, not great. We haven't continued because we have been working with people, more credentialed, that have helped with all aspects of my son's game. Dynamic's focus is fairly narrow. It's an important area of focus, but it isn't the whole package. I'll extend you the courtesy of not calling you "an idiot," though, because my guess is you haven't spent a whole lot of time on skates and don't know enough to be able to really evaluate someone.

Finally, when I look up the word "commitment" I see "a pledge or promise; obligation." I'm not being naive, I understand the way we use the word today in hockey is, sadly, very different, on both sides. But, at some point you do have to keep your promises. If you see a guy that has been married four times, do you admire him, because he's a "great guy," or do you say, "dude, think it through the next time." Would you want your sister to be in a relationship with him?

Now, go back behind your paywall.

I get a kick out of all you people who love to trash these kids over and over again. All 3 players in these posts, OW. JW, and TJW are all great players and better yet great kids. I have know all of them since they were coming up through their youth programs and have had the opportunity to write about all of them in articles that I have written.

You all trash OW for changing schools and for all these other things, who cares! The kid was a leading scorer at the national program and will be a great college or OHL player. He has great work ethic and will be a great pro.

The last poster obviously does not know a thing about JW. The kid has had one unfortunate injury and now appears to have another, both on fluke plays. Injuries happen at every level. There a many pros that get hurt and come back stronger every time. His work ethic is the over the top whether in the gym or on the ice. He came back from injury last year and was a top 5 scorer in the USHL in points per game and ended up 5th in scoring on the national team with playing 26 fewer games than anyone else. His coach wrote many quotes about him and how hard he worked thru his injury.

TJW unfortunately had 2 bad injuries and has worked hard to become one of the best players in the USHL this year. He just committed to a great HE school. He is a great kid and works his butt off both on and off the ice. He is a top scorer in the USHL this year and will be great in college. I would not be surprised if he gets drafted this year.

The last poster also mentions KB, now we all know that you are an idiot and know nothing about what you are talking about. He and his program are by far the best around. He is the skating coach for the B's and the players love him. I have had the opportunity to speak with many of them and they can not say enough things about him.

So keep trashing kids and now adults, but hopefully someday you will learn the sport and focus your attentions on the positive.

So what defines a great pro? Kid will play in the NHL and make a lot of money doing it. Maybe not to Eichel's level but he'll be there and your kid won't. Sucks to bu.

so you know he won't be a good pro, but there is no way anyone can know that he will be...ok gotcha.

Settle down Samantha. I hope the kid does do well, I just don't see it based on his play at BC. My comment was merely responding to the Nostradamus of the NEHJ who claimed that Wahlstrom would be a great pro.

And, by the way, I am fully aware that my kid isn't making the NHL. Fortunately for me I don't measure my manhood by my kid's hockey success, I measure my manhood in inches (nine and a half, just ask your wife).

yeah you just measure it by how it makes you feel when you wish the worst for others

nice 13 year old humor though, falls right in line with who you are now

OW must have lit your kid up bad

JW will be released from BU after next season. Most likely rip it up at Salem State. Go Vikings!

Will still be better than your kid, move on
