young players with good size;

I hope you are dominating now, becasue as the puberty gap closes the size/strength advantage-like by the middle of Minor midget year, you will no longer have the advantage you do have now.

so point is;

if you are forunate enough to have a good coach, listen to him if he is trying to develop you into a good all-round player.

if you are big now and still are an average AAA player, find a new sport, because if you cant dominate now, at a time when the size gap is the biggest it will EVER be for you-you will never dominate, when it levels out.

Have fun and be a good sport.

Blah, blah, blah! and your point is? Thank you captain obvious!

How mant size posts does someone need to make?

OP likes the word puberty a lot. yikes!

1:27 LMAO and wondering what a puberty gap is OP. Is that a new clothing store?

Holy crap another size matters post

My wife says size matters.

Hey OP, your wife told me my players size was definitely an improvement last night! Mmmmmmmmmmm, good.

1:40 did you fill her puberty gap?

I hate puberty. I used to look like Brad Pitt. After puberty I changed into Danny Devito. It sucks.

you could build an GTHL/OMHA all star team of early puberty italian all-stars!

they dominate young and peak at 13/14.

Player size is huge in deteminng draft rankings
not to many little guys

Size is only important beyond minor peewee

ya I guess MAx Domi was too small to get drafted

His last name helped him. Last years TM captain Ciafrone twice the player Domi is but didnt get drafted till much later. Size matter, former NHL dad matters but hockey smarts rule

Now that is a joke. Better? Are you drinking mom.

Cianfrone committed to NCAA therefore was taken much later as a result. Nothing about size.

is this thread talking about penis sizes?

Domi in the top end of scoring in the OhL. Cianfrone in the bottom end of scoring in Jr a.

Not even a contest.

look at the defence of most ohl teams most are 6.2 or bigger but every team has a small guy at 5.11 but just one so maybe 20 small d in the hole thing

okay little guys
keep comparing yourself to md
AND DON'T FORGET TO BRING UP MARTIN ST'LOUISE!
(notice the BIG letters)

Okay then what about
Dan Boyle
Rafalski
Kaberle
Ellis
Liles
White

for just a few?
You guys are smoking crack - if a player is good and skilled - size mean nothing - I'd take a player with heart and effort anytime over size

Pffffft - it's not about heart, it's about skill and size. The fact that you can name all the shrimps in the league should tell you something. Yes, there are about a dozen good small players ... OUT OF 800!!! Let it go, man.

Even if you take hitting out, the bigger Defence with knock the puck off your stick with his reach

Who wants a league filled with lumbering oafs such as Charra and Gill? The league needs players of all sorts to make for an entertaining sport.

m. d is an amazing player,thats why he got drafted.. and he is not that big!

There are many players in the NHL listed bigger than the really are. You find many 5ft 10 players listed as 6ft its a game of skill and speed big or small

If your under 6 feet you better be over 180lbs and the best 1 out of 10,000 like you. Having size just makes your odds better. Don't get me wrong still a very long shot!

Normally guys who brag are really half the size the claim so I guess your what 4 and a half your poor wife.

Chara and gill? Hmmmmm didn't they both win Stanley cups hmmmm those teams are pretty dumb for signing this "oaffs"

12" is enough for any girl.

10:59
You were reading the tape measure upside down....its actually 6"

size speed hockey IQ = OHL SIZE SIZE SIZE

They are looking first at size and then skill. If you are big you have a huge advantage. Thing is, its amazing how good big kids are these days.

lots of big kids can skate fast now days

There is always horse racing!!!!

back to penis size again

7:20 put down the crack pipe!
It's a big man's game.
Enough already.

Size only matters on Defense. Not in net and not on forward. Smaller goalies are more flexible and atheletic. Intense hitting is leaving the game small fast forwards are the way to go.

Ok dad of small kid. It's a big mans game. Get over it.

Plymouth Whalers. Huge. Will win the OHL this year.

not in net? hey small goalie dad, 1964 called and they want your brown leather pads back. who do you think are the tallest players in the nhl? Goalies. Why? Butterfly style. Oh, and they're not only tall, but just as quick as any little goalie, only the tall ones can reach the corners faster, too.

5'1 and proud

avg size ohl website is 6 ft 1 in and 191 lbs. This is the avg kid in ohl. i'd say its a big mans league.

No doubt it is a big mans game
Maybe a little more consideration for a smaller player with blistering speed than 10 years ago but don't be fooled you have one maybe two smallish players per team and thats it
