9-Year-Old Wants To Be The FIRST Female NBA Player- whistle.video/2yLm352
Let us know what you think?
Whistle 😛🍿
Why does she need to be in the NBA? They got WNBA.
Or better yet. Let's stick Lebron into WNBA, that would work out fine, wouldn't it?
funny
It's possible
WOW
“Since I was a little boy”
**is 8 years old**
Why don't you get it ??
Because it is the dumbest comment ever
I get it
yeah
IKR
Stop👏comparing👏8👏year👏olds👏to👏professional 👏players👏
Edit: When did I type this lmao
Wait tell checking he get destroyed
Exactly, they won’t really live up to the hype when they grow older
If we were comparing Antonio brown to a kid we know who would be more responsible......the kid
Kieli AD exactly
@@XanderStutz Nice profile pic,im actually going to todays game lol
Legend has it he started playing fortnite and never played hockey again
VOHara99 👏😂
Like Laine
Correction-NEVER did anything again
Että Semmosta yeah
@@ettasemmosta2473 ha! Made my day!
3 things not to do.
1. Constantly tell him he's the next "player".
2. Train him to hard as a kid as all of this could be for nothing when puberty sets in.
3. Put him into the media or spot light at such an early age. If ego doesn't get him over-confidence will.
Bingo. Humility and humbleness should be taught from an early age.
Thank you!!
Yeah teenage years and girls play a big roll in enthusiasm once he hits that age lol
I don't really agree with number 2 unless they are really being trained too hard but the rest, yeah
4. Don't self snitch 6:10
I mean he just told everyone he assaulted his dad.
6:40 the goalie kid's wearing a tuxedo jersey and it's the best thing.
Thank you for pointing this out!! Awesome jersey
😂
That is me
I am that goalie in the jersey
Manbetweenthepipes 2009 You have the best Jersey EVER! 😂
Stop setting up these kids for disappointment, don’t get me wrong he’s an excellent player and should get far in hockey but stop comparing every good young player to Crosby it’s really not a good idea
xd memes I play football and one kid on my team was being compared to Tom Brady and in his senior year he got cut before the season.
K.
I'll just compare him to Gretzky then?
No wait, he's modeling his game on Crosby, so let's just stick with Crosby.
Sooooo true
xd memes shut up you chicken bone skin tone l
He’s terrible
he’s probably that one kid on the team who never passes lmao
He is tho I live in the same city as him and my brother is on a team that always beats him and he never passes
Yeah
I love hockey and football but I like hockey better
Teak Magician I feel your pain
Taylor Buckley he doesn't need to 😂
1:03 alright he’s not that good buddy chill out
Ikr I’m 10 and ik so much kids that are so much better
@@alanjaffe6514 yeah and you aren't
Ion Paul like fr he not that good
Dude I’m in triple A in hockey and my brother is not that good in my perspective but my brother is way better than this kid
You clearly don’t understand the game I have been playing since two and this kid is a prodigy
“When I was a little boy” BRO YOUR 8 YRS OLD
Jackie Minton he means when he was like 3 , stop being mean you’re like 50
Jackie Minton are you on your moms account buddy?
And you're old. 😂
Shut up
Did ur mom forget to lock her kindle
I understand that his father wants him to be good. BUT MAKING YOUR 8 YEAR OLD WAKE UP AT 4:30.
I know right? So messed up.
Lol so weird but I read this at 4:30 in the video
Ya know I wake up at 5:00 and I’m 10 swear on my moms life
Cheezy Puffs listen every hockey kid does that! I do that
A little harsh
scores a goal, alright people we got the next sidney crosby
This kids not even that good lol
MasonB101 Pokeynight keep opening up your Pokémon cards kid

@@masonbryant6715 k bud
@@masonbryant6715 inr
As a kid I played hockey with lots of kids that were really good. Only 3 ever made it to the nhl. Those are Tory Krug, Ryan Kessler, and Jeff Petry. That's out of hundreds of REALLY GOOD players.
"Only"
This kid is definitely good. But, every rink has a kid like this. Sometimes they continue to excel and sometimes all the other kids catch up. I hope this young man just enjoys his time on the ice, no matter where it takes him.
"He hasn't broken anything yet"
"I broke his nose on the ice"
Oh man
This kids gonna have a huge ego when he’s older simply because the dad talks about him as if he’s better than other kids
I mean skill wise he probably is better than most kids especially at his age level
What father doesn't think their kids are the best?
I love a like on your video
Unless he gets much bigger his teenage years will be rough. Smalls guys are able to make things happen in the NHL but for size comparison I'm 6'7" and well over 200lbs. I can accidentally bump into people and they fall over. If I had to lace them up against pros I would be the equivalent of Chara. When I play hockey guys fall over trying to run me. If I wanted to take a run at a smaller guy it would be unfair and I tend not to because I'm fearful of hurting someone in a friendly game. If I was pro... I'd injure people without trying. This kid better be humble or someone like me will end him before he can lace them up as a pro. For those wondering why I'm not a pro... had it not been for a bad knee I would have given it a shot but way too early I was told that I'm on thin ice with my knees so obviously I never went for it.
if he actually gets into a team, they will humble him.
Just because he likes Sidney Crosby and wears his Jersey doesn’t mean he’s the next Sidney crosby
Cranberry Sprite true but false cuz he tries working on his drills and shooting to get better because he prob wants to make the nhl but his work effort is pretty good. I’m not saying that ur wrong cuz he can come out as an okay player in high school
Cranberry Sprite they said that he is the next Sidney Crosby because he skates like him and he is a professional.don’t be stupid
@@CARSFRLIFE_ but Crosby does passing drills 😂
Nicolas Sagredo Antaki broo he is 8 and he is good for he’s age
Nicolas Sagredo Antaki do you think at 8 he can play like pro?
The problem is the media here. You have a kid with a bright future and because of social media it's going to go right to his head. Hopefully his old man keeps him motivated for the right reasons
Wicked Canadian Gaming I think his old man will do that , he pushes him hard
The media is the future buddy! Get with the program, we are entering 2020! Every future athlete will soon need a media presence with videos & etc.. Just like models and journalists do. This is the future!
@@kimlee5949 social media is stupid
Ya
Wicked Canadian Gaming if this helps he doesn’t have access to his social media
gotta love when a dad can spot the potential of making money from his son.
lavar ball
Watching ur kid play at a high level is the highlight of this dads life. It was for my dad. Money would have been nice to repay him for all the long journeys and overtime he worked to keep me on the ice. Forever grateful. Just like this kid will be someday.
Lol
fury why you jealous your kids don't have potential to make you some money and maybe his dad has love for the game and wants his son to have something to aim for in life and achieve his goals money will come in time if his good enough
I doubt you ever played sports. The likelihood of this kid making the NHL is still nearly 0%. The amount of money and time this dad invests every year is extremely high. Easily over 30k a year with how much this kid trains and the gas hotels everything else involved. As well as another full time job. All this to maybe on a less than 1% chance he makes the NHL. Go drink some more soy milk.
Everything his dad says gives a clue that the dad wants the kid to live the dad's dream
Could be true, but the kid also seems to love the game
I don't get that vibe. No one knows their kid like a parent does. I never played ice hockey and my son is absolutely obsessed with it. Doesn't want to come off the ice...ever. As a supportive father I will do everything in my power to maximize the results of the effort he's willing to put in. I will also research the best programs, drills and coaches for him. It's an incredible investment of time and money and you if have a kid who wants to put in the work, may as well turn it up to an 11 and see what happens.
"Next Sidney Crosby" According to title but he has his head down the entire time
Ha lol trye
True
Luke S he’s 8
He’s 8, u don’t see every 8 year playing hockey with there head up
Rusty Shackleford, keeping your head down a lot of the time will work when he’s a little kid, but once he gets to bantams, he might learn the hard way that if you don’t pay attention to your surroundings, then you will get run over.
He should be put on a team with older kids that’s enough to give him a challenge and he will improve
He is on a team that is older kids.
S I No he’s not.
@@jm-vg4yn actually he is.
Yeah he might actually get better if he played better players than him
no because he really isnt that good
Let's see him after puberty. He won't be the same person and that matters. This is impressive to people that know nothing about hockey.
Steven Campbell 100% agree
Steven Campbell agreed
agree 100%
Steven Campbell no he can still be the same person as he is. Like the work ethic that is given in this vid he wants to do good and be captain when he plays hs.
100% true
When his dad says his skating ability is second to zero and his skills are as a professional. Me in the corner wondering, that’s what my dad said to me.
Over bearing father will ruin him 100% 👍
I see that too.
Yeah
LMAO!! No Daddy in the picture would do worst to the kid. 100% 💩
That's b*ullshit! His father is his greatest supporter and obviously wants better for the kid and does everything he can to help him.
Unfortunately, we're living in a generation (I'm speaking of the millennials, specially) with young people who thinks they can do everything they want to and their parents are the obstacle. No, we're not!!! No one loves our kids like we do. No one wants the best for them more than we do. Everything we do it's always for the best!!!
Of course we made mistakes. But we always want to do the best for our kids. That's something I try to teach to my little daughter every single day. That's what the good parents do for their kids. And I see his dad doing it.
True!!
He is not going to get any better if he keeps playing with kids his own age, he is 10 times better than all those kids and I think he would be way better playing squirts or peewees just like Crosby.
Habs24 squirts is the youngest group
Hockey Life no its not
Hockey Life mites are I thought
gaberrs23 you’re right
This is definitely true
Roman is a great player and has great work ethic. I was probably this good at 8 years old and went on to play in the OHL with London for about half a year before having a very successful JR.A Career, but unfortunately it ended there. Lot's of people think that being so good young just automatically means this kid is going to the NHL but it's just not the case at all.... and it has absolutely nothing to do with being too small, because it's just not a factor in today's NHL. It's a lot more of skill, speed and smarts in the NHL now.
I wish him the best of luck, as he gets older though and he develops more, don't be too hard on him. It's good to push your kid and expect the best from him but you don't want to be one of those hockey dads who just thinks his kid is the best and always getting into it with him. Just let him enjoy the game and keep working hard and there is always that possibly that he may make it if he wants it bad enough.
The one thing I can say though is, after I finished up playing, I was a hockey instructor and the kids our just getting better and better in all aspects at such a young age. I had 4 year old kid's I was teaching who were literally doing it all. Impressive stuff!
Dad: “he hasn’t broken anything yet”
Roman: ”I broke his nose on the ice”
Me: 😂
😂
6:49 can we just talk about the beautiful jersey the goalie is wearing
You probably don’t believe me but that’s me
@@akav8or435 If it is you, you need a medal for that Jersey.
Neel Mehta haha thanks
The mighty tusks
Live out your dreams.......through your kid!
happens here in Canada all to often
Pretty much but that's often what it takes for kids to make it in skill based sports.
Great Skills for an 8 year old Great job stick with it hope to see you in the NHL Someday
Totally.
You're probably fun at parties.
Jealous that a kid is better in hockey than you'll ever be?
Great dad for supporting his son and being willing to be there and help him get better. My only complaint is putting it all over the internet. Let his play in the games do the talking.
He’s so good he’s playing against 12/13 year olds, my friend had a tourney against him in Detroit.
Stupefy which team won?
Annie Lee A Russian team called Cksa
Hahahaha
I actually play against him normally in Alaska he is so easy to shut down
@@maxearl7934 yeah but you’re 29. You left that part out.
When you compare a kid that’s 8 years old with Sidney Crosby, the kids going to think he is better and he will stop training
Not true , his dad wouldn’t let him do that
You have a fortnite profile picture so I'm guessing your just saying that because you're sad and know you're to fat to play hockey.
KRypTIc HAM1086
Nah bud I’m probably the best defence in the league
And I’m Canadian
@@juststuff2604 I'm Canadian to and I have 14 points in 8 games
KRypTIc HAM1086 And he’s jealous because he prolly tryna get a career in gaming and become a boobtuber. And, also, what does being Canadian have anything to do with it?
This is brutal don’t compare this kid to anything he shouldn’t even be getting this much attention at this age
Crosby got that much and more and turned out great. It's all about his family keeping him grounded and humble.
I have seen this kid on the ice.he plays in Anchorage,Alaska. When I went to a Presidents Day tournament I saw him on ice.man!can this kid fly!
"He hasn't broken anything yet"
"I broke his nose on the ice"
Me:... hate it when that happens
1:31 "when I was a little boy" 😂
I love reading these adults comment on how they're better than an 8 year old
AM34 I love reading a title comparing an 8 year old to an NHL player😂😂
goodvibes I get your point, but both of them are equally ridiculous
😂
goodvibes not just any NHL player The best NHL player in the league lmao
This kid has it,his skating is phenomenal and it will all depend on whether he continues to want it or not and what size he ends up being,his skating is already there,I look forward to seeing him get drafted in ten years by the Toronto Maple Leafs,see you then Roman. Bob.
This kid deserves more than a first round exit.
"when i get into the rink my eyes are closed"
(shows him on the rink with his eyes wide open)
LOL
I watch Roman all the time and now I get this recommend 1 year later
So many haters. So many sports psychologists. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion especially when you post your child’s life on social media but give me a break with “he will burn out”... “he will get injured” stuff. How do you know? They don’t even have recess/PE in school everyday. When they did were kids burnt out? This kids doing different on/off ice activities each day. Seems well adjusted and happy. Met his idol. Been on tv. Has a dad who wants to be with him all the time.
This is what we hate on now? Wow.
Robert McCann thank you, finally a comment that’s true
Robert McCann
By I burnt out they don't mean physically than me more like mentally. People just get tired of it sometimes. One guy told me he was taking a thousand slapshots a day I asked him what happened? he said" i just got tired of it."
@Mr Wizzykin It's also ridiculous that you can't realize this kid is actually doing the best thing there is for ANY KID - He's just having a ton of fun. No one is forcing the kid to do this stuff. He enjoys every aspect of it. He insists on doing a running lap after the skate, because he sees it makes a difference and brings him more joy. No matter what some couch potato psychologist suggests about this kid, no one in their right mind would say, "stop him from having fun and doing something he loves."
"When you're 8 years you start emulating your dad... He started really following Crosby"
Lmao
Oml 💀
Lol
“When i was a little boy.” And he still is a little boy awww😭😭😭
WOW, this kid clearly and easily has the potential to be a generational talent.... I have never seen an 8-year old skate like that.... I mean he's already skating better than some NHL players..... This is really awesome.....Perhaps he will go First Overall in the 2029 NHL draft?? if he continues to develop and grow I don't see why not...... I mean I have seen a lot of videos of talented kids that went on to get drafted that were once thought of as "generational" but this kid is ALREADY a generational talent in my mind with those skills.... I mean he's not dangling or anything - this kid is doing NHL drills at 8 years old and making them look easy..... And like I said his skating is simply amazing for his age - and he's only going to get better over the next 10 years until he's drafted....... So yea, at 8 years old this kid already has "generational talent" stamped on him... And if I was a scout I would be following him closely over the next 10 years and keeping track of his progress..... Because IMO, the sky is the limit for this kid.... He could be easily the next Crosby or even better.....
My 7 year old is a way better skater
@@jamesmoore5327nah Fr this guy crazy like he’s good for his age but so was everyone else🤷🏼♂️ easy to make skating around tires look good😹
All these negative comments towards his Dad. This kid genuinely LOVES hockey. He wants to get better. A lot of kids don't have that passion for anything except sitting on their asses playing video games all day. GOOD JOB KID!
Brandon Usher u ever meet a hockey player that doesn’t love hockey?
Brandon Usher don’t say bad words
My cousin played in the NHL, Recently coached in the WHL. Few other friends that played pro hockey, also coaching now. They all say the same thing "were losing more young top talent to girls these days over anything else. Injuries don't even come close" Coach all the skill you want it to them, you don't keep their heads screwed on tight in their early teens ... doesn't matter how good they are, they wont make it. I like that Dad is keeping the goals realistic "GTHL"
Long journey ahead but I hope he stays healthy to make it to NHL.
If he makes it, I’m getting his jersey.
Bro he is 8
He wont make it
He wont make it
Johnsongamer 85 oh hey then you guys have something in common
Wait a second... I can do the things he does on the ice too...
PUT ME ON NO DAYS OFF
Wait this kid’s 8
Sheet I’m 12
This kid is insane it’s good to see he is also having fun as a kid
He will quit hockey by the age of 15.... the parent pressure on these kids to make the $$$$ is huge
Oh boy a father supporting his child’s passion and pushing him to be best as he can be at that passion. What a terrible parent. So many dopes in this comment section.
Kurt Barlow didn’t you hear the kid say “hockey is what I live for”?
Kurt Barlow IKR
The kid is playing hockey and he freakin loves it. I didn't hear them say anything about money or the NHL. Even obtaining a scholarship is a huge payoff for their investment and a much more attainable goal. Even if that fails hockey teaches life lessons and produces friendships that last a lifetime.
It's half his heart. He'll never quit
This 8 year old works harder then most 25 year olds.. His skating ability is amazing! Keep it up buddy.
Dad never made it to the big leagues so he must live through his son now lol
Put a goalie in net 🙄
Declan MacLeod you obviously didn't watch the end of the video
It’s not that easy to just hire a goalie
When the goalies throw themselves out of the way i was dying 😂
hes eight, chill tf out
This is early in the morning and the drills he does aren’t shooting drills they are skating drills follow him on ig
😂😂 who else laughed when I sed when I “was” a little boy
I love his enthusiasm and talent..I just hope his dad knows he needs fun in his life that is NOT hockey. Let him be still...just because a child likes something and wants to do it, DOESN'T mean as parents we let them do it all the time. As a parent, YOU need to know when some quiet time is needed.
Listen karen da kids doin what he enjoys
It looks like the kid is genuinely having fun; i just hope Dad and coaches remember that enjoyment is the number one thing that leads to success (it seems that is their main concern). Ask any top pro athlete: "How did you get to where you are?" Answer? "I just love the game". Don't let the "adults" burn you out, kid!
The reason why he’s so good at skating is bc he has a backyard rink unlike some hot places...
Is he small or big
hockeyshot revolution tiles I live in SoCal and I skate in my yard with those
@Sythe Have you ever tried synthetic ice? I mean I haven't gotten it before, but I hear it's pretty good.
Sythe ウイeven with that he not that good
These comments are hilarious
"He's not that good" **grabs a handful of Doritos**
"I've seen so many better 8 year olds, including myself"
**chugs mtn dew**
"He's good, but he's no Bobby Orr"
**runs out of breath from typing**
I sense a lot of jealousy.
He's a kid and he's showing tons of promise.
I firmly believe he will be a star if he doesn't over work his body before puberty.
LOL right?
that is if he reaches over 5 foot 4 lmfaoooo
I think you are jealous of him
Fu q if you just simply check out his stats you'll see he played like 23 games with 2 goals to show for. Its hilarious you think he's gonna be a super star just cause of video editing skills and the # of ig followers he have. there are kids his age with 5x as many pts as roman. i mean he might make juniors but stats are stats and his numbers arent that good
You're so right. The negative trolls are everywhere but the cancer they're spreading comes from a place of jealousy (:
He's really terrific. Great job Roman. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more hockey and success. Keep having fun and enjoy the time with your dad.
He is saying my dad started my instagram account when i was a little boy
But he IS a little boy now
Bruhhhhhhh I live in anchorage, and I’m 12 i referee hockey, i reffed this kid earlier in the week. He’s the best one on the ice with no doubt.
Now looking back on this, he's playing AA in alaska with barely a point per game...
hes playing aaa now
@@liammonaghan4785with 10 points in 41 games
I played in the GTHL from age 8 while growing up in Toronto. Within there are many childhood prodigies and excellent hockey players. In essence, there are numerous children who are phenomenons when they’re younger, however, it is common to see these kids fade away when their peers mature and increase their game skills. Indeed this kid warrants the term -prodigy and he has a great work ethic, but it will be his ability to maintain his prominence on the ice as he continues to mature. It remains to be seen if he is made from the right stuff as Gretzky, Crosby and others who wore the same label before him. His father is living vicariously through this kid and it appears that he is walking a fine line in whether he is instilling confidence or is he developing a conceited, self centred brat? Can this kid adapt to a team game when he finally plays on the ice with well coached kids with high abilities and high hockey IQ’s?
Whoever is hating on a child who is clearly talented should be embarrassed. Just because you're an old dude and didn't do much or didn't have supportive parents, doesn't mean you have to hate on the upcoming generation. This is the future!
Practice hard , play hard , eat good and don't have a girlfriend !
Most Dads can relate to the last part ! 😁
I watched this and noticed I do almost all of these drills with my travel team coach, and he said that this is not overworking your body.
Just a note about the getting-up at 4:30am thing. I'm not sure that's the healthiest long-term development plan, unless Roman is getting to bed at 6:30pm-7:00pm at night (which I doubt because THATS when hockey practice & games are normally). If I'm wrong and practices with the team are in the morning; the fact Roman is up that early is offset by him being done earlier in the evening. Either way, I have to say that sleep, rest & recovery is extremely important to a childs' long-term development, not just physical but cognitive and other area as well.
Man I wish everyone could have such a great opportunity. To live in the right place at the right time and be able to skate every day and practice your heart out is amazing. It's just sad to know that there are those with this opportunity that dont realize it. They take every second on the ice for granted, and every opportunity they've ever been givin, also for granted. And to know that there are those who are so passionate about there sport that they give everything they have to improve, when really they arnt given the chance. So many of us could have been just as great and just as thankful for getting the opportunity to do something increadible. I know hes young, but now, that's usually how you get the chance. And I wish we all had this opportunity.
10 years is a mighty long time. alot can happen between now and the draft hes eligible to be picked
10 years from now robots will be in the nhl lmao
ThunderHockey TFL lol😂
“I broke his nose on the ice”😭😭
His dad seems kind to his son... on camera. Wait till he writes a book when he's 30 about what it was really like with daddy
I've been coaching hockey since the 70s. This kid is very good for his age. Who knows what the future holds. I wish him well. All the negative comments though. Really? He's a kid. Piss off and grow up.
2:33 OMG haters gonna hate everywere, even to eight year old talent kid... Sad! But as long as he gets good food, recover, and still loves it, its no problem. That myth who says that kids cant workout hard is when the parents know about workout and the recover process.
The little guy is getting up at 4:30am. What time is he going to sleep if he has practices and games after school?? How much rest and recovery does that leave an 8-year-old doing this much activity??
But does he fight?
fighting will be banned in hockey in another 10 years.
I hate that you cant fight in yputh hockey
Jon Miles lol I do
@@thewelchshow6003 no one cares

I Broke his nose on the ice 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
beau babcock i don't who I feel worse for, him or you... Mr. Babcock
I remember when I was 8 I lead my team to the State final and and 43 Goals ahh that felt great
how can people really not see that this kid loves hockey? his dad might be passionate but a) he’s his coach, it’s literally his job and b) no one could force an eight year old kid to wake up at 4 am to do something he didn’t love. and for those saying he might turn out to be a washed up adult, or never turn into the next sid crosby- who are you to talk, seriously? even if he doesn’t wind up pursuing professional hockey, he’s still amazing right now, and that should be recognized. maybe he won’t go first ovie at the draft in ten years, maybe he won’t make point history. but that doesn’t mean he can’t be compared to his favorite player (he’s fkn 8 years old) and it doesn’t mean he won’t become his own elite class of player. i really doubt that telling an eight year old that he might be like his idol one day will be that detrimental to his developing psyche.
super , radosť pozerať na tento detsky talent 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You can’t compare a 8 year old to one of the greatest players of all time

“Next Sidney Crosby”
Man people really do anything just to bring someone down. Nobody’s ever happy seeing someone else succeed. Roman is an amazing hockey player and will go somewhere big!
I’m 14 I wish I had the things this kid has. All I have is a puck, a ball, and a wooden frame of a net. He is lucky he has the things he has to practice and get better.
I believe in you
“When I was a little boy” he is still a little boy 😂
Will be burnt out by the times he's 12 because of his "dad". He definitely has a ton of skill though, well done kid.
He said in the beginning that hockey is his life. He'll be fine
Yeah but how much of that is him wanting to impress and make his dad feel good.
The great ones love the sports even at this age. Not to say this kid will be great but I’m just saying Crosby was great because of his love for the game. His skill is a result of a lot of hard work and a little born talent. I guarantee you this dad just supports his sons love and that’s it.
Broxty why quotations around dad?
Every great athlete was pushed from a young age you're way too soft to be the best
This kid has no one stopping him…He is Amazing
Wish i had hockey in texas growing up played street hockey didn't persue it like i dreamed. Roman your awesome
People really out here getting mad about an 8 year old
People are mad because we want to see him succeed, but comparing him to Crosby at 8 years old and giving him all this attention is going to go straight to his head.
Do Bap nah the majority of the people in the comment want to bring him down but i do agree we cant compare him with crosby
Do Bap yeah like you can’t compare him with Crosby
Me: gets my first Timbit a goal
Also me: i am the next Gretzky
Roman says the game is like half of his heart... he clearly loves the game and wants to get better. He also clearly has fun on the ice. I looked up stats, he had 59 goals in 30 games last season. Kid’s good.
And 6 goals in 18 games this year.
The comments are so toxic this kid is 8 years old and already at the skill level of most 13 year olds you can’t take that away from him and his dad has the right to be proud of him
I wonder if there is another aspiring 8 year old Scott Stevens watching this thinking...let me catch you coasting through the neutral zone with your head down!🤣
Mark Miller underrated comment
He's gonna be cooked by 15
Zack kempher yeah i think so too, too much training.
It doesn’t matter if you’re good when you’re eight it matters when you’re older
Exactly, when Crosby was a eight he didn’t train like this everyday, he was just a regular kid. I see what this kids dad is trying to do, but I feel like he will get bored of hockey at an older age. Hockey is supposed to just be fun at age eight, not loads of drills and workouts.
I agree exactly. You have no idea how many parent put their kids in camp after camp thinking it will get them in the show. This kid will probably make it to Junior hockey of some sort but it would be a surprise if he makes it anywhere past that. The fact the kid has this "next Crosby" label will only put a target on his back. From 13 on is when you will start to see if he might and I say might make it farther than Junior.
Exactly...... I've seen this so many times. He will burn out, happens with the demands of hockey now though.
I watch this all the time he is so good at hockey
