LW/C Tyler Steenbergen (2017, 128th ARZ; traded to LAK)

[Tryamkin]

This kid is absolutely destroying the WHL this year. He had a 5 point night with 4 goals tonight and has now amassed 20 goals, 10 assists and 30 points in only 10 games. He is carrying Swift Current along with Heponiemi (26 pts in 10GP). He had a great year last year but most feared he wouldn’t follow it up. Eligible for AHL next year. Skipped over in the 2016 draft.

Was waiting to see how long a thread would take to be made.

For those keeping track at home, this is Steenbergen's 3rd fourth goal game this season. He has played 10 games.

Wrap your head around that.

 

[Killerjas]

Love that he has Dutch roots

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Love that he has Dutch roots

To me it sounds more on that Steenbergen's roots are from Netherland than Germany.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Is Steenbergen making Canada's U20 WJC roster?

Dutch is a person from the Netherlands..

Hockey Canada never picks overage undrafted players. But they should. It should be about winning.

But can you imagine the top scorers in the CHL being on Team Canada, at the OLYMPICS!?

 

[Kipper933]

Damn, those are peewee numbers.

 

[Tryamkin]

Damn, those are peewee numbers.

Seriously, it looks like he’s playing peewee out there. He and Heponiemi just dominate the ice.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Most of Tyler's 20 goals been assisted by Heponiemi
Hepo assisted 3 of his 4 goals last night.

20 goals,10 assists in 10 games,thats-just-sick.

He haves 10 game cushing, for 1.oo goals per game avg and for 1.50 points per game avg
- so even he doesnt score a single point in the next 10 games,
he is still at 1.00 gpg avg and 1.50 ppg avg...crazy!.

 

[Frk It]

Yeah I kind of suspect he’s getting spoon fed by the kid who’s put up 2 assists per game at every leve of hockey he’s played at.

Yeah...but seriously,Steenbergen is playing awesome hockey at the moment,best player in the CHL

 

[Tryamkin]

They’re both playing great. Tyler has been creating a lot of space and working for his goals as well. Hippo helps for sure on a lot.

Tanner Pearson.

It takes two to dominate.

 

[Frk It]

It takes two to dominate.

Meh. You saw some of the guys who played with Joe Thornton... right?

Steenbergen was drafted.

Steenbergen was drafted.

He was originally passed over in 2016. That’s what he meant I believe.

 

[PG Canuck]

Meh. You saw some of the guys who played with Joe Thornton... right?

So Steenbergen is just Cheechoo to Heponiemi's Thornton? Do you watch every game they play?

 

[Frk It]

So Steenbergen is just Cheechoo to Heponiemi's Thornton? Do you watch every game they play?

No, I can’t say I have. Do you not think Heponiemi is clearly the more talented one?

 

[Daximus]

What's wrong with the Cheech? haha

 

[Colt.45Orr]

It takes two to dominate.

Unless you are talking about Matt Barzal's WHL career.

 

[Flamesfan62]

Yeah I kind of suspect he’s getting spoon fed by the kid who’s put up 2 assists per game at every leve of hockey he’s played at.

Both playing great though

 

[JackSlater]

I am curious to hear about him from those who watch the WHL regularly. I wonder who is more responsible for the ridiculous points being put up between him and Heponiemi.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Just 3 points for both Steenbergen&Heponiemi tonight

Steenbergen 1+2,Heponiemi 2+1
