Exactly! While at that age raw talent and athleticism is definitely a strong building block for the position as is case with any other position to declare anyone a stud is premature. Size and speed begins to even out towards latter half of bantam/early midget. More important is how we will develop mentally when he is not a "stud" and starts to get shelled as it happens with all tenders especially ones who dominate at mites through squirt if the term dominate is even real at that age. Hope he does well goalie dad or teammate dad as clearly you must be one of those if you are following his play on multiple teams. In meantime simmah down pop and enjoy his current success

And if you really care about the kid and his family, don't put him out there on the dboard for others to pick apart.
Wrong that kid has played in numerous Elite tournaments. Absolute stud! Only plays select because he gets to play out every now and then. And maybe you should reserve judgement till you see him play.
Plays select so he can Skates out? Ok dad.
Can we just close this thread right now?
listen...Goalie dad when your kid makes the elite team you can come back here and talk all the smack you want but until then sit down, be quiet, and enjoy the ride
