heatley015 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2008 Some roller hockey players might have heard of this guy. Sickest dangler I've ever seen. He started playing ice hockey three years go , but before that he was a roller hockey player. He is playing in the MJAHL right now for the Yarmouth Mariners, but he used to play for the Charlottetown Abbies in PEI. (My hometown)before he was traded , anyways I think this guy is definetly going to the show, the moves he pulls are nuts. Check this out , it's not the best quality but I think you catch my drift, if you haven't heard of him before, then I would say his name will come up sometime soon.

habookus 1 Report post Posted February 23, 2008 how old is he? He definately has sweet hands, don't know how well he could pull that stuff off in full contact hockey, but he does look pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heatley015 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2008 Pretty sure he is 20, and I've seen him play a couple games, not as many highlight reel goals as that video but he has great vision, and made a few nice moves, attempted a michigan going around the net at full speed, but the goalie saved it. If anyone gets the chance to watch him , do it. You will see what I mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the stuff he tries in the video is completely unneccessary.However, on the other side of the spectrum, he does have a lot of skill. Some of those passes he made are really nice, and he does know how to dangle the D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyweightphantom 1 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 I believe he tried (and scored) a michigan in a finals game for pama at narch against the mudcats and someone took a swing at him in the end game hand shake i'm to understand. The coach wouldnt let him back on the rink so they wouldnt take a run at him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdcopp 1 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 I believe he tried (and scored) a michigan in a finals game for pama at narch against the mudcats and he got punched in the face at the end game hand shake i'm to understand. The coach wouldnt let him back on the rink so they wouldnt take a run at him.TORHS Pro finals, Michigan on the backhand at full speed. Someone said something in the handshake line which started a shoving match. Itan has amazing hands, and amazing skill. He is a pretty humble kid, I think doing the highlight reel moves is more out of him seeing what he can do than trying to show people up, kind of like how Ovechkin gets soooo excited when he scores, it's just a pure excitement for the game. It's been a few years, but he was living here in Colorado with Dave Fromm and the only thing he didn't have going for him was his size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyerman 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 He's unbelievably skilled, and looks like he has that six sense vision thing going on. He's going to have to be an equally quick skater for him to make it at the higher levels because he's so small (5'8"). But with good coaching he might have a shot. Thanks for the link. I can do that stuff in my dreams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heatley015 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 There was a rumour going around that he was going to play pro hockey next year in England? I didn't know England had a pro league, so it may have been somewhere else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lufria 1 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Itan is also part owner of Dangl Productions, a film/shirts kinda company. Happens to be a very nice guy as well, which in my opinion, is something not always seen at higher levels. I've never seen him play in person, but i know the Cyclones play at pretty much every national. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stock07 1 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Very nice hands and vision....It would be intresting to see how he does at higher levels of ice, so of that tricky showboat stuff dosent go over to well there...But if he has a good head on his shoulders he will learn quick to throw that out the window and just do his thing...

Clark12 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 There was a rumour going around that he was going to play pro hockey next year in England? I didn't know England had a pro league, so it may have been somewhere else.Hopefully comes and plays for the Belfast Giants on the British Elite League (not English as it has teams from England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland). Its around the same standard as the ECHL.That way I might be able to tempt him to come play inline for my team, who are also called the Cyclones. He would feel right at home. :lol:Theres actually quite a few NHLers who have played in the British Elite League, those who come to mind are Theo Fleury, Eric Cairns, Wade Belak, Scott Nichol, Rob Davidson but there has been alot more.
