9 year old hockey prodigy

There is a 9 year old hockey prodigy that I saw on TV the other night who is truly amazing. He plays ice hockey like a pro. Ice hockey is a very physical, very fast-paced sport. Yet this 9 year old skates and swings the stick and hits the puck as if he was an adult. The incredible goal he made is plastered all over the news stations and YouTube right now. He doesn't even look like a 9 year old in the video.

I thought it was a funny coincidence that Emilio Estevez was in the stands the night of this video. Emilio Estevez starred in the Mighty Ducks. The Mighty Ducks is a movie about a team of troubled kids who play hockey. Emilio Estevez is a lawyer sentenced to community service and ends up coaching these kids. It must have been a good night for Emilio Estevez as well as the 9 year old hockey player.
