Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

These videos popped up on my IG about 3 months ago and I asked if the videos were sped up, he replied no, but you can see that it's sped up. Props to the little guy for training, but when my kid was at that age, most the kids on his team were better than this kid, not bashing the kid, just the dad, why you do that? And the titles of the videos are cringe, just post some game footage of your kid enjoying hockey. Read a few pages and I don't see a lot of people bashing the kid, just the dad. It's clear he paid to buy followers and likes. Just let your son play at his level and enjoy the game, rather than embarrass the kid when he gets smoked in a real game. If the dad is reading this, that's not how you build an IG following.

Let's be real here. Most of you parents are just as delusional as this psycho dad and mom. You just don't go full retard and post sped up videos and cringe titles on IG. Get rekt!

yeah, the kid looks pretty good to me from a skill perspective. I'd think he is more advanced than most kids his age at U8.
The issue is he is so worried about protecting his kid from the game and people's perspectives of him that he doesn't let him actually play hockey.

I bet if he was on one of the better KSL teams as a U8 this year, he would likely end up being one of the better players. Just let the kid play. Let him learn to play hockey. Because right now hes a figure skater with a stick in his hand.

You don’t get it - the Dad not only thinks his kid is the most talented U8 in the province. He previously insisted the kid was better than some U13 AAA players. He will never let him play on a team because even if he was one of the better players (questionable and definitely wouldn’t be the case on tier 1 KSL) he wouldn’t clearly be the bestest best that ever was. Deranged!

The real question is, why do any of you care about this? I have seen him on my instagram - I laughed a little and moved on with my day. i have seen lots of kids with strange insta pages. I have met tons of dads who think their kids are amazing when they are not even average. Not saying that is the case here - I have never seen the kid play a game. But who cares. Move on with your life. When you are at the rink and He is actually playing a game, then you can start to pay attention and start caring. Until this, this is nothing and means nothing.

Kid is 7 so he’s a U8. A lot of kids at U8 can skate like that or better, check out the elite kids. This dad is not doing his kids any favors by speeding up those videos. Let him skate with elite kids his age and see where he stacks up. He has one video of the kid in a game against House Leaguers who can barely skate and puts these titles on it. Should I put up videos of my 6 year old skating against adults who are learning to skate and say he’s a prodigy too? If you read those comments praising the kid and the family you can tell it’s 1 person writing them. They use the same words and same mannerisms. This guy is a joke, spend less time recording your kid and put him into some league game, don’t make excuses, my older kid has always been top 3 on his teams since he was 7 and never once were we targeted so whatever this dad is saying is bull crap. Yea, my kid is so good he’s getting targeted so let me make an IG account for him so he can be picked on more, that make any sense to you? Should all go on IG and comment on how stupid and fake this guy is.
