Steve Yzerman grew up in ottawa but wasn't born here so I dunno if he counts.. if not probably Claude Giroux, Mike Gartner, Denis Potvin or Rob Brind'Amour
Jesus loves you, his return could be imminent. If you don’t place your faith in the King, you will be judged, and if he returns before your death and you don’t find salvation through him, you will live through the apocalypse. Friend, as a warning, if you do go to the apocalypse, don’t worship the beasts, or get the 666 mark of the beast. Then and only then in the apocalypse you could find salvation, but the persecution would be insane, and it would likely cost you your head. Repent, and become my brother or sister in Christ, the Lord, the Savior, the King, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace, Everlasting Father.
Without a doubt, the best player from where I grew up was Mr. Hockey Gordie Howe. He was actually from a tiny hamlet just outside the city limits of Saskatoon Sask called Floral. One of my best friend's father knew him, so we always cheered for Number 9 on Hockey Night in Canada. I saw him once, but unfortunately never got to shake his hand. We were just young teens at the time.
What are you talking about. Scout here. And this kid is not being scouted know why ? Because everyone sees him he can't be missed. Scouts are busy finding the other ones who can grow to be diamonds in the rough.. this kid is a diamond but not in the rough.. his stats and highlights are being played. Nobody needs to scout him. Hes done a great job making it so easy for the scouts they don't waste time with him.
9:47 very true in Pittsburgh you had letang, Washington carlson, St.louis petrangelo, tampa hedman, colorado makar, vegas petrangelo again and 🤞this year nucks hughes
I know bedard gets attention. But can we please call Mckenna by his name. Not just someone bedard is related too. Not just this channel did many others did the same. Im annoyed by this trend in all not this particular channel but still.
I went with my dad to a tigers game few weeks back and he told me bedards cousin was on the team and he easily broke out and scored with minimal effort. Be cool to have some good tigers alumni
When you put Bedard and McKenna side by side, and you said they're only related by marriage, I pretty much thought "Bullshit! They look so much alike???!" I thought they could be brothers!
His name was Gilmour. I can't stress how hard this guy tried to make his dreams come true and the dedication he showed every year. He never made the team though, his name was Gilmore, Happy Gilmore. His golf games decent too
Sure he is a good player. Just that half of the Bedard hype videos are exaggerated. There are videos where he is just skating or giving a tackle and not really doing anything special. Yet the title of the video can be "incredible skill" or something similar - exaggeration. The same goes for the comments. People exaggerate. If the video is in line with the title and comments, I have no problem. But so often its not the case.
Clayton Keller played for a school with his brother in the St. Louis area. My coach played against him and he said that they put Keller on the ice for only the third period and he scored 8 goals
Imma say it since im a scout. The fact the game has evolved and theres way less hits and overall violence allows these prodigee kids to shine a lot more. Kids competing against them often give up on plays when theyre on the ice.. which back in the days their average competitor would be headhunting them.. nothing less these kids are incredible their skills with the puck is quite astonishing to say the least. But having a more open ice helps a whole lot. If the history of life repeats itself and we see a young plaer come thru with a physical play and set a trend we can find a new balance but its unlikely to be immediately. Rempe is a nice proof of it all slowly having a shift where the youth might realize hockey played physically can still bring you to the show even with lesser skill and talent. But it wont be tomorrow or anytime soon. The next generation have zero sign of being agressive they give up on a lot plays. No true second and third effort off the puck.
Put your scale at 0. That graph at 3:48 is actually disgusting. 1.25 -> 1.27 -> 1.5 is ridiculous. And neither axis starts at 0. You can still show how McKenna is doing amazing with fair graphs.
Difference is kids are groomed to be hockey players to the extreme now, the best players were nurtured sure, but now its an industry to raise these kids and feed them supplements, private training, etc.
Sad thing, when it used to be from going out on the cold ponds and rivers, and now it's money. Still the best game and still has a lot of humble awesome people in it. It still takes a lot of work, but having money sure helps, like anything. It's still Rock and Roll to me, Billy Joel.
No stop it don't be disrespectful buddy. This is no news to the scouting community nobody is paying attention to McKenna they're all busy trying to find another diamond in the rough McKenna is locked pick its no news he will be top pick. They're on to other fishes
Brayden yager from martensville saskatchewan he also played with rylan pearce, max hildebrand, hunter mayo and ryley heidt they all played in the whl and nkw from martensville we have calder hamilton who is a top 10 projected whl draft pick
its hard to tell from the clips in the video if Parekh has the same level of skating ability as Makar but if he does he will be a star. The skating is really what sets Makar apart imho. that is what allows him to do all the other stuff.
Who the fuck makes these kids… like how does he get so good and how is he 6ft at 15!? Respect to him though, it’s clear he worked very hard to get to where he is today
I'm still looking for the perfect woman to make one of "these kids", in case any hot slim athletic woman is listening. Oh, that's right, they have to listen. Oops, sorry, did I say that out loud......
I think the reason that he's not that high up on lists because he doesn't have that elite edge work the other three guys you mentioned do. Maybe not so much Fox but definitely Makar and Hughes
This is because hitting and fighting has been taken out of the game. The young and inexperienced players have nothing to worry about except getting points.
If I were the hockey gods I'd give McKenna to Detroit for that joke of a lottery they got screwed on that literally made the league have to change how the lottery worked.
I could be wrong but I believe they are related only through marriage? Not by bloodline? That's what was said when I was watching MH play RD in the playoffs
What i don’t understand is how the big knock on Parekh is his defense as a defenseman. I’m newer to hockey so pardon me if this is a dumb question but, with offensive talent like that, why not bump him over to Center if its such a huge concern?
The new generation of “offensive d-man quarterbacks” is a new style of player. A player like Makar will have a far greater impact on the blue line, especially when you consider he spent his entire life developing defensive instincts
McKenna is going to be better than that guy who plays for Chicago. Also, Parekh is very overrated. Sure he's great with the puck, but I've watched him enough to know how useless he is without it. He's just a fourth forward. Whoever drafts him just needs to make him a winger because that's all he's good for; and he might be underwhelming at that because he lacks the physical aspect. Any team who drafts him will realize he's going to be quite the project.
1st overall picks going to the worst team in the league is a terrible rule in the NHL. Set up superstars with the worst team? There should be a new rule change: If the worst team in the league cannot turn things around in 2 full seasons, the 1st overall pick from 2 seasons ago should have trade rights and full control, and the team that drafted them cannot try and change the players mind. To have the 1st overall pick stuck on a crappy team and waste their careers is such a waste. Not all 1st overall picks have it bad, but it happens far too often with the "lottery" system the NHL has now. Thoughts?
Then there's Terik Parascak who had 40+ goals and 100+ points and yet there's talk that he'll slip to the middle of the 2nd round like Cristall did last year. Guess production doesn't mean as much as it used to.
They just changed the game. Back in the day players couldn’t pass the puck up the ice past 2 lines. That’s the only reason people see so much scoring nowadays. Also players aren’t allowed to really hit anyone either. It’s not because players are better.
Wizards have an easy time when you don't apply pressure and are aggressive with them new day kids aren't playing the type of hockey that cam counter him .. yall playing hockey that completes their style you give up on plays and don't try taking a guy head off which allows him to dangle thru you cones
@@NNHgohabsgo I'm a scout I study hockey truth is if I got back to it I could probably make East Coast roster or European roster. I'm 26 played hockey my entire life now I scout. It's not just spouting and mumbling words. If you're still playing when facing skillful players don't only attack the body you go for hand to hand like a wrestling match you try to grav control of their wrist while using your body to make contact. We don't teach you kids the proper way of using your body it's all finesse nowadays and take the less penalties possible. The game has changed and ppl will start adjusting to win games against skillful players and teams. I'm thinking about start to coach you'll be seeing changes in the next 10years some academies will start developing a more defensive style as the years go on
@@NNHgohabsgo you kids aren't taught to properly take out a player of a play how to counter a 1 vs 1 yall are legit cones with it .. just look at them highlights kids literally give up let him dangle.. it will change sooner than later coaches will push back with a old school type of hockey using defense first
I feel bad for him, honestly. Somebody who he isn't blood related to, yet with the cousin-by-marriage relationship, that's what he's going to be labeled as for a while.
Genetics plays a much smaller roll than people think. Players today like Matthews and McDavid it's about how they see the game, not as much genetics. Sure physical ability and athleticism plays a roll, but that's not what makes them elite. They earned that. It's the IQ.
I can still do Bobby Orr's autograph perfectly. Bobby Hull came to Winnipeg, and he made the Jets and me fans forever. Great man to my family and I. His kids didn't realize until late the lies about his life, and how much he cared about everyone, especially them. Fact.
Mario Lemieux for a stint, Palfy, Recchi, Gonchar (one of the best powerplay quarterbacks in the league) Marc Andre Fleury, with Malkin and Letang in the pipeline
ALL COUSINS ARE BY MARRIAGE! They DO share a blood line or they wouldn’t be cousins they be FRIENDS! Great reporting though, thank you! My grandson has just signed a contract with the MH Tigers to play with Gavin McKenna starting this August, 2024. Great opportunity!
@@pinkladies66 yes, absolutely they share blood, either the mother or father of say Gavin are siblings to Connors mother or father and that’s how cousins are made😂 Who’d-a thunk something so simple could be so c o m p l i c a t e d 😍
Been watching him play against my rebels. Kids the real deal. Immediate standout on the ice. Dangerous every time he’s out. His awareness and IQ is off the charts.
It's not something in the waters its rule changes and the way they ref the games, its less dangerous in years past the league was far too rough for a boy to walk the man's path also composite sticks require less wrist strength.
You talk about a player on the Saginaw Spirit, but you made no mention of the London Knights, which beat the Spirit in points to take home the Hamilton Spectator trophy for regular season champs. The Knights have Easton Cowan, Denver Barkey, Ruslan Gazizov, Jacob Julien, Landon Sim, Max McCue and Will Nichol for forwards, and Oliver Bonk, Isiah George, Jackson Edward and Sam Dickinson on the blue line for a truly unstoppable team that had a 24 game point streak, a 14 game win streak, and 2 7 game win streaks. As well as like 5 blow outs including a 10-0 Shutout against the Owen Sound Attack. The Knights also have like 6 players with over 30 goals, 9 over 20 goals, and 4 players with over a point per game, with Easton Cowan having a point streak that lasted 36 games (November till the end of the season!)
I’m not hating on the kid, i’m sure he’s real good. But we need to stop embellishing everything we say. It needs to come to a stop..to describe something as impossible…when it’s clearly possible for the majority of anyone that can stand on skates and hold a stick is ridiculous. That pass he made was in a lane the size of a mack truck..it was far from impossible. But you’re not the only person who does this, its the majority of society. Just because it’s not possible for someone who’s never stepped onto a hockey rink. It’s definitely possible.
"impossible angle" pass or goal, is just a fun term that describes a crazy angle, it's not that serious. I would also strongly disagree that the majority of people who pick up a hockey stick can make these plays. Just because some of the best prospects and or players make it look easy, doesn't mean it is.
Who is the best player to come from your home town?
Gerald Mayhew
Arto Blomsten (he played 5 games)😭😭
Steve Yzerman grew up in ottawa but wasn't born here so I dunno if he counts.. if not probably Claude Giroux, Mike Gartner, Denis Potvin or Rob Brind'Amour
Joe Thornton
Carter Rowney
I have been so lucky to be able to watch McKenna all season. Lucky enough he plays for my home town tigers.
My nephew just signed with MH Tigers, Shaeffer Gordon-Carroll. Moving from Mission Chicago to MH. He's stoked to join the team.
@@bucki09er That's crazy!! A big move too! He will be joining a young exciting roster. I will keep an eye out for him!

Im also from around medicine hat...mckenna is a great player
Sorry to hear you live there. “the hat” yikes.
2:27 Minor correction, McKenna was 15 at the start of the season but he turned 16 on December 20th.
Parekh with nothing but the “sheathing the sword” celly 😂

They’re not even blood relatives and didn’t meet until they were in the whl

Had the opportunity to go and watch him play when Medicine Hat came play the Prince Albert Raiders
I think if you name your kid Connor…you’re gonna have yourself a once in a generation talent.
It's a rich person name.
Nah just a basic white boy name lmao
I knew McKenna was real good; his development curve in Chel is almost always amazing
When you put Bedard and McKenna side by side, and you said they're only related by marriage, I pretty much thought "Bullshit! They look so much alike???!" I thought they could be brothers!
Idk what he means by that though. Like one of them is a step child I guess.
7:29 Look at Bouchard's numbers on that chart. People have always underrated him because he plays calm and smart instead of fast and flashy.
From my hometown we have had Kirby Dach and now Keaton Verhoeff on the Victoria Royals
keep an eye on Landon DuPont too. He's just about to get exceptional status.
Congrats on 100k
Dylan Cozens or Gavin Mckenna.
His name was Gilmour. I can't stress how hard this guy tried to make his dreams come true and the dedication he showed every year. He never made the team though, his name was Gilmore, Happy Gilmore. His golf games decent too
Landon Dupont who just got granted exceptional status to the WHL
This Bedard hype is rediculouse. Yes, good player, but not so special that he deserves this level of hype.
The man is younger and has outscored a rookie Matthews, Kaprisov, Pettersson, etc. on a horrible team. He has special upside
Sure he is a good player. Just that half of the Bedard hype videos are exaggerated. There are videos where he is just skating or giving a tackle and not really doing anything special. Yet the title of the video can be "incredible skill" or something similar - exaggeration. The same goes for the comments. People exaggerate.

Having wealthy parents who can pay for elite coaching is paying off.
Sad thing, when it used to be from going out on the cold ponds and rivers, and now it's money. Still the best game and still has a lot of humble awesome people in it. It still takes a lot of work, but having money sure helps, like anything. It's still Rock and Roll to me, Billy Joel.

the song you used for the zayne parekh montage is electric, who's the artist!?!
By the time bedard gets good linemates he will have probably requested a trade.
I went to school and played shinny with Carson Camron, he was drafted first round 7th overall to the Pete’s last year
its hard to tell from the clips in the video if Parekh has the same level of skating ability as Makar but if he does he will be a star. The skating is really what sets Makar apart imho. that is what allows him to do all the other stuff.
Hutson in the CHL would have 100 points for sure.
McKenna had players to play with while Bedard was with the Pats.
Who the fuck makes these kids… like how does he get so good and how is he 6ft at 15!?
Respect to him though, it’s clear he worked very hard to get to where he is today
I'm still looking for the perfect woman to make one of "these kids", in case any hot slim athletic woman is listening. Oh, that's right, they have to listen. Oops, sorry, did I say that out loud......
Not to brag or anything but i played w Gavin at CWG. just gotta put it out there, make myself feel good
I think you failed to mention that McKenna is from WHITEHORSE, YUKON TERRITORY. Which makes him incredibly easy to root for
Boston needs to tank for mckenna
best guy in my area in conner geekie
Pettersson more of of all around player when McKenna is just more of a goal scorer tbh
Adin hill is from Comox Valley i hate the knights but its always nice to see talent come out of a small community
My home town brought Grant Fuhr to the league, I’m just bummed out I didn’t make it either!
I'd say you'[re special, just because you are, lol
I got one here Jason miller he was one of the picks in the greatest trade he was my old boss he blame Gretzky for not making it in the NHL
I think the reason that he's not that high up on lists because he doesn't have that elite edge work the other three guys you mentioned do. Maybe not so much Fox but definitely Makar and Hughes
If Chicago can just stay crappy until 2026, Bedard might be playing with McKenna.
This is because hitting and fighting has been taken out of the game. The young and inexperienced players have nothing to worry about except getting points.
In Ekblads defense, he was already taller than most adults before he was 10 lol
ive played with jett dechamps in a camp cuz hes from winnipeg
If I were the hockey gods I'd give McKenna to Detroit for that joke of a lottery they got screwed on that literally made the league have to change how the lottery worked.
I could be wrong but I believe they are related only through marriage? Not by bloodline? That's what was said when I was watching MH play RD in the playoffs
You're right, which makes the coincidence crazy.
What i don’t understand is how the big knock on Parekh is his defense as a defenseman. I’m newer to hockey so pardon me if this is a dumb question but, with offensive talent like that, why not bump him over to Center if its such a huge concern?
usually on average he'd get more icetime as 1D than as a 1C
the skills needed to be a good offensive dman dont necessarily translate to a centerman
I’m sure he could learn but it’s a big difference going from D to centre. If he’s this talented though, he’d be a good candidate
The new generation of “offensive d-man quarterbacks” is a new style of player. A player like Makar will have a far greater impact on the blue line, especially when you consider he spent his entire life developing defensive instincts
Conner bedard came from my town
McKenna is going to be better than that guy who plays for Chicago. Also, Parekh is very overrated. Sure he's great with the puck, but I've watched him enough to know how useless he is without it.

Bedard has a -39, Auston Matthews had a +2 in his rookie season, Ovi had a + 2, Datsyuk had a +4, Bedard is one dimensional and it shows.
Im proud to be from medicine hat!
Just need them not to take dumb penalties and maybe they can come back in this series!
I'd say your hat is over your eyes, and you should open them to the possibility of moving. Kidding. Good luck and all the best always!
Dude look like Gretzky. the way he just floats around his opponents and he’s hockey iq.
All I see is the Matthews dip 😂
lol why label him as “bedards cousin”, he has a name. Gavin McKenna, you’ll get it right eventually.
McKenna has the face of a killer. I love it
Kurashev is underated af!
The best player from my town has to be Jason Dickinson what a guy he is

As well as like 5 blow outs including a 10-0 Shutout against the Owen Sound Attack. The Knights also have like 6 players with over 30 goals, 9 over 20 goals, and 4 players with over a point per game, with Easton Cowan having a point streak that lasted 36 games (November till the end of the season!)
With the first pick of the 2026 nhl draft the Utah Coyotes select Gavin Mckenna
Haha!

I love how I've watched less than a minute of Zayne Parekh and I already know his go-to celly. Kid's slick with it *holsters stick*
Cousin by marriage?
That’s what I’m trying for to figure out. I looked it up, and it seems to be very incestuous. I have no idea how the stated relationship works.

The Blackhawks are gonna be a problem for the foreseeable future.
my home town is Michael and Luke Misa
I hope my caps are bad in 2026
He won't be a Leaf. Nor will Parekh. McKenna and Parekh will be awesome.
In the side by side photo they look related. Seems fishy
Zane is pretty good and I don’t know who is better *cough* cough* Hutson*
I’m not hating on the kid, i’m sure he’s real good. But we need to stop embellishing everything we say. It needs to come to a stop..to describe something as impossible…when it’s clearly possible for the majority of anyone that can stand on skates and hold a stick is ridiculous. That pass he made was in a lane the size of a mack truck..it was far from impossible. But you’re not the only person who does this, its the majority of society. Just because it’s not possible for someone who’s never stepped onto a hockey rink. It’s definitely possible.
"impossible angle" pass or goal, is just a fun term that describes a crazy angle, it's not that serious. I would also strongly disagree that the majority of people who pick up a hockey stick can make these plays. Just because some of the best prospects and or players make it look easy, doesn't mean it is.
Mackinnon is the driving force for Colorado not Cale
