Child Prodigy

[VoluntaryDom]

Thank you for the periodic updates - wishing him success with the Winterhawks.

I see one of the Weisblatts (some discussion earlier in the thread)was drafted in the 2nd round.

Matthew Savoie and Shane Wright had good numbers from the recent World Selects Invitational. Savoie's team won first.

Mike Sillinger's youngest son Cole is putting up pretty good numbers.

Played some Midget AA at 13..

Yep, he destroyed all previous seasons for U15 players, even in J18 Allsvenskan which consists of only the best U18 Elit teams. He did so on one of the worst teams there. Currently tearing it up with 10 goals in 5 games for the Sweden Selects team.

Every international tournament Savoie has played in, he has pretty much dominated.

This thread deserves to be active.
Surprisingly i couldn't find it via Search function. But Google helped me.

Sidney Crosby was probably discovered way before the age of 13.

You are correct. I'm the same age as him and I would go to hockey schools in Halifax as a 9-10 year old and he was already being talked about in awe by the local kids. At that time he would have been playing Pee Wee AAA and leading the league in scoring. That doesn't just fly under the radar.

Lets see, what will be from this guy in 5 years: Servác Petrovský (born in august 2004, draft possible in 2022)

Unusual name also in Slovakia. As a 13 years old (from august) he plays in U16 Czech league. And had good numbers: 5+6 in 10 games.

Anybody know how Shane Wright with Don Mills Flyers is doing?

I think I read that he might play in the OHL cup as a double underager. I could be mistaken but if that is true then I would assume he is doing very good.

As mentioned in other thread, this young Ukrainian should be considered - Oleksii Myklukha

Dont know, if he is still considered as an "child prodigy".

Matt Savoie has got 57 points in 17 games.

Nice, but for us, independent fans from Europe, is unknown, in what a league is he playing.

He isn't a "child prodigy", he is playing in a dreadful league with little competition.

Plays bantam prep in the csshl, which is the top bantam league (arguably) in western Canada. Same league as Sillinger who was mentioned above, except Savoie is a year younger. Already expected to be the top pick in the whl draft 1 year from now.

Matthew Savoie

He seems like the only true candidate here to be called child prodigy? He is two years younger than most guys and had those stats.

Kid is incredible playing in the newly formed CSSHL which us essentially a western Canadian prep school league with teams from Winnipeg to Victoria. He's a doubke underager putting up those kinds of stats. Also has 3 points in 2 games in the elite 15 league. Which is a league meant for the most elite 15 year olds in all of western Canada. The league is young but the level of competition is the highest available for that age group in western Canada.

What makes him so special? Is he already a big body guy? Or simply skilled guy? Or incredibly fast?

Not overly big, but strong and doesn't back down. He is incredibly skilled and fast, plus he is a very smart player who uses his line mates well. Scoutman said the last time he saw a 13 year old use his line mates the way Savoie does, he was watching a young Sid Crosby.

OK. But im not a profi in ice-hockey. Dont even played this game. Just average customer. What does it mean "he is a very smart player who uses his line mates well." ?
