How has he done this year? Where is he, where is he going?
I have very limited knowledge about Norwegian hockey, and even more limited knowledge of their juniors. Kid is now 10? 11? Very young but you can see the potential, and I hope that the Norway's gift to hockey is pursuing a dream to become a NHL'er.
Any of you Norwegians know whats up with him lately?
Im happy to see him play with "good players" (with players who can shot the puck).
This guy is a more team player than before, look like he has everything. A good wrist shot, good pass, good faceoff, GREAT speed (new pavel bure?), great dekes....
I just hope we could get more info about where he plays, wich category, what he expect to do next...
I did a little googling last night after seeing this thread. It looks like he plays for the U13 team (older competition) of a pro Norwegian team called Lorenskog IK. Based on their game schedule, it looks like they play against Norwegian, Swedish, some Finnish, and some Czech teams. They also seem to go to a bunch of different tournaments for that age group. It looks like they recently beat HV71, Mariestad, Linkoping, and some other teams to win a small tournament.
Quote:
Lørenskog their U13 teams participated this weekend in the HV71's tournament Prolymphia Trophy. This was a three-day tournament consisting of the initial group games and playoffs. Among the teams we met were well-known ambitious Swedish team Linkoping, Back, Mariestad and HV71. After a weekend full of strong performances, could Lorenskog 99 boys deserved lift the trophy after the final victory over Mariestad the mighty Kinnarps Arena on Sunday evening.
Also, apparently they played in some sort of big U13 tournament back in September and MEP tied for the lead in the scoring race and was the only player from his team to be named to the All-Star Game. Here's an article about it: http://hockeynorge.no/index.php?opti...eam&Itemid=137
So I guess he's doing well which is nice to see, certainly seems on track to at the very least have a major junior career of some sort.

And that is against kids older than him? On Norway?
I hate hyping kids up but he has a chance of really carving out an impressive career. Hopefully he keeps it up.
By the way, as for the new video..he looks better than ever. So unselfish yet still so talented. Small? Not against those who are older in years where you should be getting a growth spurt. Wouldn't surprise me if he ends up at least 5"10 or 5"11. Either way, he's fast and is very talented..so that's a huge plus.
Sweden hockey Trophy is the biggest kids tournament in Europe. He played with kids 1 year older than him and ended up on the all-star team. His team was ranked at number 21 in the tournament.
Most times, when a kid is clearly the best player on the team they will just score at will and will never pass. Clearly he likes to set his teammates up, which is nice to see.

Its like when the teacher plays hockey with the students.. it would look silly if he scored so he passes to the worse off kids so they can score too.
I know it's early, but he has some unreal skills and dekes, and his skating is amazing. Looks small, but plays vs. older kids. And yes it was HV71 he played vs. as far as I could see.
He's good, by far better then everyone else in his age group. Highway miles against.
Ex: Peewee AA player against Peewee A players, now here in Quebec the gap is huge.
He may not be all that good, I understand he just carried a team to an unlikely victory playing a year up against top players, but the gap between top players at the age is huge.
To me I see a Peewee AA caliber player, probably the top player on the team. He's no prodigy, but hes dam good. I think it's premature, and he's overyhyped.
Right now, his skating is great, he's got great hockey sense, I mean this is advanced stuff that he's doing, he sees the play well, he sees the ice very well, smart with the puck. Great anticipation. His stickhandling is great, I'd say its a Bantam AA level.
His shot isnt great, I mean it's average, my cousin played peewee A last year and he can rip it better then half of the kid in double letters.
He's got good accuracy, but the wrist and slap shots are average/slightly above for a peewee level, AA wise.
Also it's highlights of him that I'm seeing so yeah.
I think he should be playing U15 in Norway that's like 2 years up. From what he's playing now.
He needs a better level of competition, it's a matter of time before he moves to Sweden.
Great player no doubt, but I'd take a wait and see approach. But he's a skilled 11 year old but I think it's early to start hyping him.
Lol some of you should really just relax a little. Maybe he's just playing for fun while some of you are making throughout analysis on a 11yo kids play.

"average wristshot for his age" yeah :
Calm down down buddy, and yes it average, please over here on AA half the kids can shoot like that, the other half better.
I'm mean how many people are touting him ? Look at what happened to Freddy adu.
