lol look whos scoring all the goals for the other team? the little guys.
Hockey is about small players now
Notice how all the goals and skills on show came from all the little guys. Big guys game?
Bigger is not always better. I go for speed and agility over pure size. If you can get a trifecta player that's awesome .But scouts out looking for size could really miss out on some top notch players. Plus some kids have late growth spurts…..my kid will barely be turning 14 when he is a second year Bantam.
size doesn't win hockey games , Playing hockey wins hockey games…
This whole series just showed me how different American youth hockey is from Canadian. Almost anywhere I play here in Michigan is big cities and the competition is kind of hard to judge.
