When is the last time you saw a AAA tourney? Kids today have off the chart skills and everyone is FAST. My son set school records in sprinting and he was probably only an 80% on the ice for speed. Wicked fast and stick handling that looks like a circus act. 10 year olds do Lacrosse shots and between the leg penalty shots. Look at the the 17 and 18 year olds now. They could literally skate circles around the old players. The old players admit the game has advanced way beyond their abilities.
Training is way more intense that play a game, go to the bar, repeat. At 14 my son practice 15 hrs a week. 5 days with a game on Sundays.
