Nevermind Aito Iguchi's 8 points. There was a kid on Ottawa's team named Justin Wrigglesworth. That is the best name ever.

For the record, the teams Iguchi was playing were low level teams
Toronto Titans and Marlies, the cream of the crop for the 2003 age group, have kids way more talented.
Maybe not as flashy but definitely more talented.

Seen that before. Certainly impressive, but I'm more wowed by the 11 year old from Japan still.
Please bump this thread yet again in 7 years......while this kid has sick hands and skates like a figure skater, I would love to see him against some real talent......those opponents were pathetic. Anyone who has watched AAA hockey for that age group knows that. I'm impressed but only based on the hands and the fact that he comes from a non hockey market.....he wouldn't look that impressive in the gthl
Lol that kid got drafted 32nd overall in the NHL so **** a AAA league in the GTA hows the WHL sound?

I've watched a million 12 year olds and even 9 year olds do that between the legs spin move, while nice does not really prove much. This Japanese kid has some unbelievable hands. The stuff he was doing in his basement and outside were really really impressive for a 16 year old kid, let alone a 12 year old.

Wow, that's pretty cool. Is that a AAA team he's training with? And are they his age or older? because he looked pretty small out there

Has moves but doesn't look extra ordinary in any way. The kids he is playing against also look very weak. Let's see what he can do at the Q. If he is very good he can play at 11.

I am toxic
. . . even in small doses
Haven't seen the video, but got to watch him in last 2 periods of 2003 AAA bronze game at BC Spring Classic a couple weeks ago (I believe Jon Calvano had invited him to play). Good, but would say not dominant in that particular game. No fancy moves like in some of the videos in Japan. Per the box scores it looks like he had his best game against Jr Steelers (but I couldn't see that game).

Skill and hockey smarts are incredible for an 11 year old. No 11 year old should have the smarts to pull off what he did at 1:11, where he used his opponent's momentum against him.
Unfortunately so much is dependent on size/speed/strength, which we can't even nearly accurately judge right now.
