Nine-year-old Oliver Wahlstrom has become an internet sensation.
The Cumberland, Maine native scored an impressive goal in one-on-one competition. The contest was taped and to be played during the New Jersey Devils/Boston Bruins intermission. The video has already amassed 116,000 views on youtube with news of his impressive goal spreading all the way to Vancouver, Canada. In fact, Oliver and his father (a former hockey player) were even invited to be interviewed on SportsCenter today.
Watching him score this goal, it's hard to imagine this young kid growing up to be anything other than a future NHLer.

That was a sickest goal I've seen since Keenan Thompson's knuckle puck in the Mighty Ducks, haha
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few people land this move over the years I've played hockey, but certainly not as well as this kid. I think it's kind of difficult to judge his skills as a whole though.With a lot of practice pretty much anyone could learn how to use the flex on their stick to do this. I'm more impressed that a 9 year old had the dedication to do it.
