Wow. This kid is impressive. Good vision. A few times you think a kid has him lined up, with his back to him and he dodges him.

Well he is playing against 9 year olds. lol

I think the thing that amazes me is his slap shot

At first I was thinking, man this kid really needs to use his teammates a bit more, instead of always dangling around. Then I saw the clips of him setting his teammates up and I realized why he doesn't pass more. Reminiscent of Crosby passing to Guerin.

that kid is really good.... the kids that he plays with are at the skill level most 9 year old are (fanning on shots, over skating) he almost looks bored, but its fun to watch.

i'd be pumped if i were his parents

Those kids can skate, but have no puck skills or hockey sense. Matthias has got great skills but he wouldn't be dominating in North America. If he's the next big thing, we got 50 future all-stars going into peewee next year :sarcasm:

haha same here, his competition and teammates look pretty bad but the kid clearly has talent. His puck handling and skating are so smooth. He seems small but I think it's because he's playing vs older kids.

I'm pretty sure there aren't many Canadian 9-year olds who can replicate that. Sure he'd have better competition (and better teammates), but he'd still stand out.

Hopefully this kid amounts to something. It'd be cool to see him followed for 12 years on HF before he's even drafted.

Um no...

The kid can flat out skate and has hands...I know the kid is 9 but its quite evident he has hands better than some players who play Junior right now...
