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.
The kid is good, definitely not a prodigy, not even close, but he clearly likes the sport and plays a lot which is great.

The clips of him playing older house league kids who can't skate are meaningless.

Only way to judge how good he actually is would be to play against the best kids his own age in KSL. There are many 2018's that can rip it bar down and Mohawk.

If he was truly a prodigy he'd dominate the top 2017 teams a year older but I can assure you he would disappear against the elite 2017 KSL teams and wouldn't even make the team in a tryout.

His Dad is doing him a terrible disservice by filling the internet with these clips of him with these ridiculous headlines, poor kid will get ridiculed for it and never live up to his Dad's hype machine.

Why Dad? Why?

Just let the kid play hockey.

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.

Hey Dad, you know when you post as a 'stranger' you should at least vary your sentences and vocabulary. You sound exactly the same as when you respond to every comment on social media.

The problem with living in a fantasy bubble is that you don't see other kids who are doing just as well. Playing with those kids would do wonders for your son, socially, too. The reason why kids are on a team is because it's fun! They don't think they are some gift to humanity, they just make friends and have lots of fun. They don't have a dad bragging about their skills, only to isolate them because actually putting them on a team would mean exposing the fact that the kid is just like everyone else. And that's okay. Dad, you're clearly reading this, let your kid have fun and stop spending your time fighting with everyone on time who has an criticism. You know life is going to be full of criticisms. You know what coaches do, right? They tell you what you're not good at so you can improve. That's also part of the game.

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.

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.

I don't think Biosteel sponsors anyone, but I sure know that he's not sponsored by biosteel. You've got your 6 year old son advertising on Instagram for commission. You're part of the partnership program. That is not the same thing as a sponsorship. Also have no idea what featured on NHL means. Like you sent in a video and they reposted it? That's not an endorsement, that's content farming. Get a grip, dad. You've seriously lost the plot.

All I see is jealously coming from parents that let down their children by not giving them the time to allow their children the ability to grow a skill set as good as bradys. Have you talked to the father? Biosteel reached out to him. Biosteel sends product to him. They make nothing off the sale of products. If parents applied themselves more they would have children with bradys talent instead they choose to be absentee parents in regards to the career choices made by their child.
