If he plays with kids his own age he'll get exposed. I've seen the kid in person, he's not a great skater even for his own age.
Even the video with the bigger kids is sped up. The one kid he skates past starts turning and falls down and obviously can't skate. I don't even think this was house league level. What a joke

I've watched the videos. Kid was playing House League D. I know because my kid looked like the other kids out there. Can barely skate because it's their first year of skating. Second, you can tell the most recent video of him in a game is sped up if you look at the goalie. Goalies don't move from side to side like that. I have a goalie kid. No need to even look at the skaters. When I saw the goalie move, it's clear it was sped up. I don't get the end goal. I always thought it was to get your kid on the best team possible. What does one accomplish by playing them against the lowest level of House League? Anyway, I know dad is going to respond as himself, as some anon fan, as another anon fan. But advice to dad if you want to make it believable, maybe slow it down right before the actual goal, because it's super obivous when you see the kid goalie jerk from side to side. Others have given you life tips, but I give you editing tips as a goalie parent. God speed.

Guys, the dad is out to lunch. No point giving pointers because he has it all figured out. Wish him luck. Let's follow up on this thread come u12 AAA

Fair point. I read one of his comments that he's always playing up. Like buddy, if I stuck my 9 year old AAA player in U11 House League D, he would look pretty elite. Anyway. It's just us other parents shaking our heads at the absolute absurdity. It's a good reminder to never go down this route.

You have no idea how ridiculous at this age you are being. It’s like saying he is likely gonna fly an F16 in a few years because he built a tidy paper airplane! You will be embarrassed at how ridiculous you will look when you and your son are watching the draft in years to come on the couch together

I met this kid and his dad in Brantford some time ago. The kid was unreal plain and simple. My son and I just sat and watched in awe, instead of skating ourselves. I've been around the game my entire life as has the rest of my family, I have never seen anything like that. That being said a future is never predictable but what I saw was something special. The dad was also a really nice guy. Stop casting judgment and enjoy watching the talent. I sure do.

His skating technique actually isn't very good. Don't let the sped up videos make you think it works. I agree with the other poster, if this kid was even half decent he'd be playing 2018 KSL. Obviously Daddy is too scared to do that because he knows what would happen.

People claim his skating isn't good, how can that be? I have talked to the father and he has told me brady has already been asked to play in the brick tournament. Do you think biosteel just sponsors anyone? This a company ran by former professionals. They clearly see how much talent he has. He also scored 213 goals in 18 games in his only season of competitive hockey before his dad had to pull him out due to his safety concerns as coachs and parents had their kids targeting him. He's still dealing with post concussion symptoms to this day. His u6 statistics are better than mcdavids. If you can't see that he's almost a top line shoe in on any u13 AAA team then that's on you. Biosteel and nhl both do, judging the support they give him.

“I have talked to the father…” omg I died laughing.

Okay, dad. You’re not sponsored by biosteel. You enrolled in their partnership program where if you hawk biosteel to your followers, you get 10% commission. That is not a sponsorship. You’re so delusional, it’s sad. But adding clarification for others. If you check out the @biosteel_partnerships account, they clearly state that it’s a commission based model.

You’re not following anyone outside of yourself.

If anything, you’ve put a target on his back but hyping him up so much. Poor kid. And dad, just post as yourself. You’re not fooling anyone.
