I can't imagine seeing him on the other team when I was 14. I was about 4'11 and 85lbs and played full contact bantam. Going into the boards with him would have been the end.

This is so awesome. So happy for that family!

A kid that can move that well on skates at that height at that age with the right coaching could turn into something like the next chara.

14 years old, 6'10 and size 18 foot? That kid must have Nephilim blood in him. He still has like 6 to 8 years of growing to do. He is gonna be a beast. He loves full contact sports, I guess when your a fridge on skates lol
