    Default Aito Iguchi... 11 year old prodigy

    Has anyone ever heard of this kid? I just recently stumbled on some of his YouTube highlights... the kid has some mad skills! Not sure if he can continue his play at the next levels though... could be a Kevin Roy/Robbie Schremp or maybe, just maybe he could be something special. Time will tell!

    Pretty impressive skill set. I know a kid same age as my nephew (12) who is 5''11 and can slap shot 70 miles an hour.

    Long way to go from tooling some home league kids in non-contact hockey to even being an above average CHL player. I'm not sure we need to dig this deep for the "next one"

    Four total threads in the forum on him now. Just a note that he was 11 in his videos in 2014.

    Either way, I have seen his videos, and it's sweet. He's an awesome and talented kid and I wish him the best

    Hehe, neither do I, but I just wanted to point out that he is pretty talented for an 11 year old. Many kids actually develop their game in their mid-teens (15-16 y/o) so having a gifted 11-year can go 3-ways IMO;
    1) he peaks prior to his teen years and can't keep up with bigger bodies
    2) he keeps developing and improving his game, playing with bigger and older kids as he moves up from one level to another
    3) he keeps playing and tweaking his game but kinda fades out in the pool of talent come Midget/Junior...
