Hey jgarry1433 Don't think you need to defend yourself to people like the ones who comment on these videos, Your kid is good you support him enough said. Nice video!
Wish I could turn like that. He likes Zetterberg, so he's one step ahead of everyone else.
He'll always be a great hockey player but his ability to make it to the NHL will also be dictated by his size when fully grown, his dedication to conditioning and whether he gets enough elite training (10,000 hours of experience)
how good is his hockey sense, How good is his passing? how well does he play his position?does he make the right decisions at the right times? his endurance? How often does he loose the puck? His stick handling/movements is simply spectacular but don't forget one video can't tell you everything about a player, He probably does have the answers to my above questions but guys, don't jump to conclusions too quickly. Loving the Zetters Jersey, Go Red Wings :D he's an amazing talent nonetheless.
I've known several in the NHL, and they all agree it's not about talent as much as it is how much you love the game, which translates into how hard will you work for it.... they say Crosby and Gretzky had something in common, through juniors they worked and practiced all the time even when there was no practice, they worked on stick skills all the time even while relaxing. If this kid loves it, and it's not just his parents dream, he's got what he needs.
@cppbandit - Absolutely agree. Desire must come from within. My only dream is for my kids to be healthy and for them to live with an eternal perspective. It's nice that they excel at sports right now, but that doesn't mean they will continue to stand out as they get older. They may even choose not to play sports at all. I've said this before, but hopefully as a parent I can help them find what they love to do. It's more important that they become good people than great athletes.
The kid has a great stride. is he really not on a team yet? one good thing of being on a team is that he will have more experience playing with other skilled kids which will push him to try harder. also, it will give him a better idea of what to work on both because he'll be in situations he isnt used to which will serve as examples for him to see where he needs work and by being taught by more coaches he will be able to see things from different vantage points. also exposure to scouts
@Richard1979hush ... Truth is he has been playing on teams since the age of 5. Has played up 2 to 3 years every year. Has played in numerous high level tournaments over the last several years. Has offers to play all over the United States and Canada this Spring/Summer. I firmly believe kids should not focus on one sport and he'll be speding most of his summer relaxing, and having fun doing other things.
who ever says he will get drilled... is wrong, if he has hands and speed like that, nothing is going to be able to touche this kid, he better be going pro... and i give credit to who ever the parents are to this kid for teaching him this stuff, dont stop! he is already better then me and im on the high school team (: haha
Whoever is criticizing this kid is a freaking moron. This kid is great, I know many kids who play AAA and are 10 that aren't as good as him. His skating is especially solid, few kids at any age have full return of their leg under their body in the forward stride and his stickhandling is very smooth. He's gonna be fantastic one day if he keeps up this progress.
Thanks! "Yeah... he has always worked on vision, seeing the ice, and skating with his head up". All people have to do is watch his game footage to know that. On the other hand if people watch Datsyuk, Malkin, Toews, Crosby, and Kovalev stickhandling in practice, they all have their heads down... Why? Because they are just simply working on their hands. Many peolple just don't get it.
every time i see a "amazing hockey star only 7" i usually get pissed because of 1. the kid is pure crap or 2. the parents are annoying and wish their kid was a "star" and are overly obsessed but this video im very VERY impressed by this little guy he has some major talent and WILL go far i hoe to hear more from him he deserves it and has some great parents, i play for AAA jr. Bulldogs in my city and am getting ready for scouting into the OHL from coaches hope i see this kid in the bigs soon. :D
he's good but its not hard to have someone that good when your 8 i was just mess in around and playing with a kid who was 8 and he was almost as good as this and he was playing AA imagine an 8 year old in AAA
This kids phonominal. You are an inspiration being a parent thats dedicated to their sons dream so much. I saw this because Detroit Red Wings posted it on facebook .. only the Wings would have such great scouting as to already be looking at an 8 year old! Keep it up and this kids the next pavel datsyuk in the making
1)He clearly hasn't played much with other kids (which many will say is a bad thing, but it teaches him more than just passing and positioning which is something all the other kids practice) - this will help him in many ways with his individual play, but inevitably hurt his future if 'Dad' doesn't get him on a team soon
2)Too much weight on back heal when he shoots (back foot/toe is where it should be)
*TIP* work out his right hand/wrist more for stick handling
@OganProductions ya thats true i seen kids who can stick handle better than some pros but thier absolute shit in a game cuz 1.) they dont know were to be and 2.) they hav there head down for more than a second in a junior game there end up on thier ass... but really great start for stick handling. awsome job!!
You realize all you guys are talking shit about an 8 year old? How pathetic is that? The kid obviously has amazing talent, he has amazing hands for a kid his age...hell even for a 15 year old. I can honestly say I wasn't that good at 8 years old and I made it to the OHL. I hope to see this kid play in 10-11 years. congrats
@CoachDad0301 Damn that must be the most least encouraging miserable thing I've ever heard a human being say. It's pathetic that people could possibly consider commenting like this on a video of 7 year old boy. Whether he becomes great or not, all we can do is hope that he never becomes a fraction of the person CoachDad is. Just sad...
I've played hockey for 10 years or so (no contact) on a flooded pond, for a few years i tried full contact indoors, i had to turtle a lot cuz i just wasn't used to it. I'd still like to join a league and play indoor hockey, because i feel its more competitive than what i have, i would just have to adjust to full contact. (this kid could still be a great hockey player even if he couldnt play the check game)
This kid is awesome for an 8 year old, anybody saying otherwise is just jealous.. I have no respect for people with the boston bruins mentality of hitting before playing hockey. Whats the deal with ''wait till he plays contact hockey'' ? If he's this awesome now, he just can get better.
holy shit im speechless thats insane !!! better then me and I play decent hockey and I'm 16 hahaha. what type of drills do you do with him ? do you work with him 1 on 1 a lot ? or did he teach himself ? hahhah please reply but thats awesome
@YEUHNBD - In the beginning training was simply basic fundamentals with lots of correction. Now that his technique is pretty sound, we mostly work on vision "Head up always" and Passing. We just attend "Stick and Puck Sessions". Keep it laid back and fun. Always go out to eat afterwards and play in the arcade. Send me a message at jgarry1433 and I'll tell you all the training DVD's we use. Good Luck!
what's with the haters? kid's trying to show his skills, not do game sequences. how can he keep his head up when he's practicing deking around pucks? he won't know where they are. i hate it when people tell kids that ARE FRIKIN 8 YEARS OLD they suck when they're just jealous.
hey shows off to much he does that in a game hes dead! im in 12u and if we dont move the puck you will get layed out.oh and FYI i could do all that and more
@CoachDad0301 Typical hockey wannabe coach douchebag. See's a kid, with more skills then he ever had. Then types in CAPITAL LETTERS WHAT HE HOPES WILL HAPPEN TO THIS KID AND HIS DREAMS. Hey A hole, nothing wrong with a kid working on his skills, and there is nothing wrong with being a proud supportive parent either.
wow all you haters are insane, i cant believe the level some ppl will stoop to just to make themselves feel better...i happen to know this kid, he turned 9 yrs old about a week ago and has been playin with kids that are 2-3 yrs older since he was 6...he has all the talent in the world, fundamentally sound and has the "it" factor....an amazing 9 year old hockey player, easily top 5 in the country.... who hates on 9 year olds?? REALLY?? get after it Z!!!
@CoachDad0301 - Plays with older kids and gets checked and cheap shotted all the time. Has never laid on the ice and doesn't complain. He'll probbly do what his older brother is doing ... He's taking a couple years off, just training and skiing until checking resumes at Bantam. They're both tired of two hand touch. Nice try though. LMAO.
People need to relax. He's just a kid. He's got a long time before he starts checking. And who cares, he's pretty damn good for his age. Some kids can't even skate at that age.
@MrHOCKEYROCKS1212 - Don't like to look too far into the future, but have been asked to play in the Brick tournament for next year. He can play for any Brick team even Canadian because of where we live in the U.S.A.
Wow didnt realise how crazy you guys can get over hockey ?? its a great sport!! unfotunatly never had the opportunity to do and would love to try some time. And this guys father sounds like a great guy from his comments!! Sure if he went to the NFL that would be great .... but hel grow up in a few years time he might not want to play hockey .... but at least his father give the oppotunity to find out what he wanted to do and not forced him to do some thing he doesnt ! Great Video!
@xxkiingcrustxx Guys, I really think you're all making a mountain out of a mole hill. Making it to the NHL? Really? You're going to make that call? Do you have any concept of what it takes? I have known many many Kids growing up playing as I played in the AHL for the Syracuse Crunch just after they were founded. It takes so much more then being able to stick handle at age 8. Must be an American making that comment because every Canadian knows how tough it is!!!
@proudfreemason honestly you cant make any comment on youtube any more without some trying to make an argument out of it. Why is it that all canadians have to hate on american hockey players and fans? we like hockey just as much as you do. and this kid most likely will not go to the NHL, i know that. just trying to give the kid some inspiration is all.
@proudfreemason - Who cares about the NHL. All I care about is that my kids are healthy and end up being happy. It's more important to be a good person than a great athlete. My job as a parent is to help my kids find out what they love to do. What I can tell you though is your many comments have been mean spirited. If my kid were to make the NHL, but conducted himself as you have, I will have failed as a parent.
@jgarry1433 Oh wasn't that just tear jerking...What are you talking about???? Someone stated this kid was going to the NHL and I said think twice. Toughen up, it's a tough World.. Jeeeeezus!
@thenissan - Name of a big tournament in Toronto. A lot of NHL'ers like Rick Nash and Ryan Kesler played there when they were little. Not too far from PA. Manitoba is quite a haul from Pennsylvania. Need a jet for that trip.
Hes just deadly. I think my son might play against him if you over come to Canada. my sons a 2004 playing 8A1 and probably 9A1 next year. your little guy is deadly. good work.
@thenissan - We'll be in several Canadian tournaments throughout the spring and summer at The '03 AAA level. Probably OTTF, Bauer, and Ronald McDonald. If not this year maybe we"ll see you at Brick if your son plays up a year. Good Luck.
Congrats to your son! Please dont listen to all the other butthurt dads out there. We should all be proud of our kids no matter how skilled they are on and off the ice.
In Canada this is just another 8 year old - In the USA this kid become a Youtube star! LOL..Come on up here and see how the game is truly played....My 3 year old is doing this with his hands and his skating is almost there, no joke and my 5 year old daughter skates better..
@jgarry1433 Sure ya did big fella! When you guys win a tournament you make a major motion picture about it. Need a I say more? Wake up, Canada is the MECCA of HOCKEY!
@jgarry1433 - I can say that I won the Stanley Cup, Silver Stick and the Art Ross, but that doesn't mean I did. You got MVP of your team as that's how Tourny's work. They have to pick someone from each side, you were probably the best AMERICAN at that time. Great! Missing the point Kiddo. In Canada we don't even talk about winning MVP or Trophies. If you haven't won the Memorial or better, zip your lip because it doesn't matter. Keep your stick on the ice or you'll learn that next!
@bouttogotowork - I like how you say "YOUTH LEVELS" which is still an inaccurate statement. You have to understand, up here Hockey is played like you guys play Football in the southern states. I mean no disrespect, I just speak the truth. Go look at ALL of your hockey teams and tell me who you have on them. The GTHL is the most competative and largest youth hockey league on this planet. More NHL players come out of this league then the rest combined so please don't tell me more..
whe i was young i used to have my head down al the time, i learned to keep it up and i turned out just fine, this kid will too so stop saying negative things.
Can't believe all the negative comments, must be jealous kids. This kid in the video, can skate and handle that puck pretty good for an 8 year old. If you just want to hate on the kid because you think you're better just don't comment. I swear, every hockey player always thinks they are the best hockey player. lol. nothing will change.
@DropShotify I guess you haven't seen any Reebok It's your Move Vids. Pavel and all the top guys have their heads down. It's because they are just messing around doing tricks. In games his head's up, great vision, and moves the puck. In real training sessions and games it's about seeing the ice and finding teammates.
@jgarry1433 yea, hes 8 years old. hes not Pavel Datsyuk. hes not doing commercials for Reebok. again hes 8 years old. he should be practicing head up all the time. he can play though, thats for sure
Look what happened to Eric Lindros, his parents promoted him way to much and his career is now over! it's called karma, stop putting pressure on your kid, he is an amazing stick handler for a 7 year old, just give him space and stop videotaping him! if he doesn't make it, he will feel like he dissapointed you!
@Quentin290000@MrReesiesPieces you guys are idiots i play minor midget aaa so you guys can think what you want, when you are 11 and people say your 8 anyone can look this good
@jarrett310360771 Go to OTTF Canadian Spring Classic 2011 Minor Novice MVP, One Hockey 2003 All Star. You're clueless. Just get over the fact that a kid 8 can have this much skill.
That kid is very good and could definitely go somewhere. Ignore what everyone else is saying about him. Just make sure he keeps at it and works very hard. I'm just learning how to play ice hockey myself (Something I've wanted to do when I was young but never had the chance) and it is not something easily picked up!
At 3:18 he catches the puck very well from a pass and then releases it fairly quick- an under looked skill!
Thats the best 8 year old hockey player i have ever seen in all my best players. At first i did not think he was 8!!!! he is going to the show!!

We just attend "Stick and Puck Sessions". Keep it laid back and fun. Always go out to eat afterwards and play in the arcade. Send me a message at jgarry1433 and I'll tell you all the training DVD's we use. Good Luck!

what's with the haters? kid's trying to show his skills, not do game sequences. how can he keep his head up when he's practicing deking around pucks? he won't know where they are. i hate it when people tell kids that ARE FRIKIN 8 YEARS OLD they suck when they're just jealous.

@CoachDad0301 Typical hockey wannabe coach douchebag. See's a kid, with more skills then he ever had. Then types in CAPITAL LETTERS WHAT HE HOPES WILL HAPPEN TO THIS KID AND HIS DREAMS. Hey A hole, nothing wrong with a kid working on his skills, and there is nothing wrong with being a proud supportive parent either.

@CoachDad0301 - Plays with older kids and gets checked and cheap shotted all the time. Has never laid on the ice and doesn't complain. He'll probbly do what his older brother is doing ... He's taking a couple years off, just training and skiing until checking resumes at Bantam. They're both tired of two hand touch. Nice try though. LMAO.

@xxkiingcrustxx Guys, I really think you're all making a mountain out of a mole hill. Making it to the NHL? Really? You're going to make that call? Do you have any concept of what it takes? I have known many many Kids growing up playing as I played in the AHL for the Syracuse Crunch just after they were founded. It takes so much more then being able to stick handle at age 8. Must be an American making that comment because every Canadian knows how tough it is!!!
proudfreemason 1 month ago
@proudfreemason honestly you cant make any comment on youtube any more without some trying to make an argument out of it. Why is it that all canadians have to hate on american hockey players and fans? we like hockey just as much as you do. and this kid most likely will not go to the NHL, i know that. just trying to give the kid some inspiration is all.
xxkiingcrustxx 1 month ago
@proudfreemason - Who cares about the NHL. All I care about is that my kids are healthy and end up being happy. It's more important to be a good person than a great athlete. My job as a parent is to help my kids find out what they love to do. What I can tell you though is your many comments have been mean spirited. If my kid were to make the NHL, but conducted himself as you have, I will have failed as a parent.

@jgarry1433 - I can say that I won the Stanley Cup, Silver Stick and the Art Ross, but that doesn't mean I did. You got MVP of your team as that's how Tourny's work. They have to pick someone from each side, you were probably the best AMERICAN at that time. Great! Missing the point Kiddo. In Canada we don't even talk about winning MVP or Trophies. If you haven't won the Memorial or better, zip your lip because it doesn't matter. Keep your stick on the ice or you'll learn that next!

@bouttogotowork - I like how you say "YOUTH LEVELS" which is still an inaccurate statement. You have to understand, up here Hockey is played like you guys play Football in the southern states. I mean no disrespect, I just speak the truth. Go look at ALL of your hockey teams and tell me who you have on them. The GTHL is the most competative and largest youth hockey league on this planet. More NHL players come out of this league then the rest combined so please don't tell me more..

Can't believe all the negative comments, must be jealous kids. This kid in the video, can skate and handle that puck pretty good for an 8 year old. If you just want to hate on the kid because you think you're better just don't comment. I swear, every hockey player always thinks they are the best hockey player. lol. nothing will change.

@DropShotify I guess you haven't seen any Reebok It's your Move Vids. Pavel and all the top guys have their heads down. It's because they are just messing around doing tricks. In games his head's up, great vision, and moves the puck. In real training sessions and games it's about seeing the ice and finding teammates.
jgarry1433 1 month ago
@jgarry1433 yea, hes 8 years old. hes not Pavel Datsyuk. hes not doing commercials for Reebok. again hes 8 years old. he should be practicing head up all the time. he can play though, thats for sure

That kid is very good and could definitely go somewhere. Ignore what everyone else is saying about him. Just make sure he keeps at it and works very hard. I'm just learning how to play ice hockey myself (Something I've wanted to do when I was young but never had the chance) and it is not something easily picked up!
At 3:18 he catches the puck very well from a pass and then releases it fairly quick- an under looked skill!
