Hi, I have been following Bantam AAA hockey for hockeyprospect.com, and I have seen Dovar Tinling play a couple of times this season.
Right off the bat I knew he was a player to watch, since he had posted 53 goals & 38 assists for 91 points in Pee Wee AAA last season in just 28 games, being far and away the top scorer in the league.
He is quite the player indeed. He is a winger that thinks the game at a very high speed and has all the abilities you're looking for in a high-scoring forward. He has good size already at 13, he is strong, his skating is top-notch, his shot is hard and accurate, his release is fast and his hockey sense are off the charts. And with that, I believe his vision/playmaking skills are his best traits.
I am looking forward to see how he improves in the 2nd half of the season.
Child prodigy, I'm not sure just yet, but he certainly is someone to look out for. He could be in Midget AAA as soon as next season.
Im not convinced he'll be physically ready in time.
There's honestly like 9 others in his region who are as good as or near him it's crazy. 2003 group out of Lac St.Louis has a ton of talent.
Watch for these guys in the coming years:
All first year Bantam's
Charles Alexis Legault, hes a smooth skating defenceman, has all the tools to play Midget next year. Shot, release, physicality, was ranked as the best D in Quebec for Peewee last year.
Charles-Emile Duciaume, not as good as Legault, but this kid is already 6'1 and probably 175 pounds, hes a physically punishing defender, with a great shot, his strength is his biggest asset. Should be next in the line of Conquerants players to get surclassed to Midget, following the footsteps or Parent, Poulin and Bordeleau.
Robert Orr, the kid can fly, amazing speed, fluid, explosive, add to that he's strong, has good skills, and a great shot. He's one of the kid's who could go up to Midget next year.
James Malatesta, similar to Orr, probably a better scorer, insane strength for his age, I swear this kid may have a pro shot now, and when he's 15 he'll have an NHL shot, just unbelievable strength.
Those are a few guys to watch for, each could possibly play Midget AAA next season, along with Tingling.
Also Joshua Roy is another name to watch, finished behind Tingling in scoring, but had like 49 goals and 90 points in Peewee, shredded the league. He's a big kid, fast, strong, has hands, hockey sense. He may pass Tinling. I wouldn't be surprised if he played Midget next year.
In 2 years watch for a D man out of the Drummondville area, too young to talk about now, but he's playing underaged in Bantam, and MAY end up being the best QC D since Letang.
Hope he will make it to international level. That will be a challenge for every color commentator.
