Speed Demon 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 Yeah but he is probably just "standing" like that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cavs019 708 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 I was going to say, who cares how tall he is when hes a damn ankle bender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 6'1? That's a big boy for twelve. He looks thick as well, I remember playing against those guys. At 13 I played against a guy who was 6'3, they are difficult to face, especially if they are mobile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beaucoup_fish 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 And by just "standing" he is doing what comes natural to him-supinating. Not necessarily...he could just be flexing his ankle inwards...it doesn't matter, I'm sure he doesn't skate with his ankle turned inwards like that.And supination is not a posture problem, it just has to do with natural gait.

JR Boucicaut 3793 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 Oh but it does...That's how you tell - by having them stand up normally on their skates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherwood21 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 Is 183 cm = 6'1" ? If it is, then that's sort of average for here in Alberta. We play against 6'0 and up 12 year olds every day...which is sort of scary. Two of the bigger guys on my team are 5'11" and 12 too.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_The_Man_16 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 I think he's standing like that on purpose. Know a guy that is an amazing skater but when our coach pulls us in to talk he always stands like that, but whenever else you see him standing around he never does. Still a HUGE kid. I'm that tall and I'm 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At 13 I played against a guy who was 6'3, they are difficult to face, especially if they are mobile. true, but a common trend with bigger players is that they're less mobile. it's a rareity to find someone 6'4+ who can move like someone who is 5'10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two of the bigger guys on my team are 5'11" and 12 too.. I am laughing...everytime I took my son to an ice tournament where there were AAA teams from Canada at the Bantam level, it always seemed like a men's team was taking the ice..... I was 5'11" 195 lbs at age 12....just never got any larger(er... taller) Was fun while it lasted lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I might be showing my ignorance but what is "supinating" exactly?BTW I don't consider it normal to be 12 and that size! Unless you are breeding a freak'n army of stormtroopers! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3793 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 Notice his right skate. He's standing straight up and his ankles bow out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JR Boucicaut 3793 Report post Posted December 4, 2004 The funny thing was that I totally grew into my feet. I've been wearing size 11 skates since I was 13. So I was this short kid with huge feet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
