Every sport seems to have a few stories about kids who are amazing at the game at a seriously young age. Hockey world, meet Iguchi Aito. This 11-year-old Japanese boy is taking the hockey world by storm after videos of his skills hit YouTube. He’s good. Really, really good.
Aito shows off some nasty dangles, some nifty fakes as well as some fantastic passes in the video below. He doesn’t try to do it all himself. He passes and sets up his teammates with easy goals. Usually these prodigies tend to hog possession, but Aito seems to enjoy spreading the puck around.
It’s early (OK, very early) in Aito’s hockey career, but things certainly look promising.
