11 year old hockey prodigy - from Japan

For what it's worth, he played in the Bell Capital Cup last year, which is held in Ottawa, and was second in scoring - one point behind the leader in 1 less game.

Pretty good I guess maybe he should try the other bigger name tournaments if he gets a chance too then.

Extremely difficult to judge since the skill level in Japan is not comparible to canada let alone the top 5 nations. He could simply be a potential tier 3 level player playing against under skilled players. We'll see. Won't be the first oriental player. Cliff pu might be the first chinese player to play in the NHL.

Seems legit..

really impressive ... and the fact that he shares the puck that much ,tells me a little something about his character . He could have easily taken all the glory in almost every one of those plays , but gives his teammates the satisfaction of scoring .

who knows if hell ever make the show .. nice to see a talented kid who seems to play for more than himself

just a helpful note . a lot of asians dont love being called oriental .. its a dated term , kinda like calling an african american coloured ..

rugs and food are oriental :)

Was actually just going to post this if no one else had...

The kid is very impressive, not only for his puck handling skills but even more so for his game intelligence. Plus, he's not a showboat and will pass the puck if someone else has a better shot. I hope we get to see him in the NHL in the future.

The kid obviously has impressive skill and reads the game at a super high level for his age. Even if they other players are weak that would be impressive against pylons.

He would need to move to N.A. though in order to further his game if he wants a chance at the NHL.
