To me, what's perhaps the most interesting thing is how large a repertoire he has in general. I've watched plenty of games in this age category(D1) and he's just about the only one I've seen who regularly even uses "dish" or lob passes as a standard option. And there are tons of little tricks and fakes that also is something that I very very rarely see anyone doing.
This is one example(he's #11):
Just how good is that?
Other attributes(skating, hands, vision), example:
It's true that C2 AAA is a level we have a lot more data on and therefore the next season will be significantly more telling.
Yeah, you don't see someone fake-passing with similar body language that often even in an adult level. That was a nice pass and foxy move. I don't think the second video really does him much justice (I know he has those traits but it's more like watching just a nice clip).
Guess you've seen this already:
And playing vs overage or double overaged peers? Based on how much bigger the other players are I would guess that's not his age group say the least. A coast-to-coast goal where you can see both skating and stick-handling. He just makes it look easy.
