NHL average height 6’1”Guest wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2024 6:05 pmI don’t know what everyone’s obsession with big players. The NHL has been proving for years now that size doesn’t matter as much as speed, skill, and hockey IQ. Just look at guys like Cale Makar, Brayden Point, and Alex DeBrincat. They might not be the biggest players on the ice, but they’re some of the best. Even shorter goalies like Juuse Saros have been dominating, showing that agility and positioning can outshine size in net. The league’s shift toward a faster, more skilled game has leveled the playing field, and these players are thriving because of it. Honestly, it’s way more exciting to watch hockey this way—where talent beats size every time.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2024 12:37 pmIt's snowing outsideGuest wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2024 11:06 am The reality is that no one knows what will happen. Being big won't keep you in the game just like being small won't keep you out. I do think the kids who avoid contact will have some issues. I see some kids now who are excellent skaters with a lot of speed who want nothing to do with any type of body contact. Those are the ones who may not fare well and there's nothing necessarily wrong with not wanting to get smashed or smash someone yourself but seems necessary if you want to keep playing hockey.
Weight 200 lbs
Why very few under 20 can consistently play at that level. Tou are then playing against men looking to keep jobs.

Re: 2014 AAA
I know quite a few players who played and are currently playing D1 hockey who are under 6 feet. Seems like it might be harder to get into the NHL if you're under 6 feet. People make it seems like being 6 feet is some wild unicorn unusual height. It isn't. Lots of men reach 6 feet, big deal.

It definitely isn't height that hold people back from progressing as a hockey player. get real. It's skill, being on the right teams, talent, IQ, money, connections and determination. Height is the least of most players worries these days.

Just check the height of this division 1 team. Mostly 6 and above with a few 5’8 and 5’9’s. So on average, most players will be taller with a few exceptions. But to completely write off small players isn’t true in todays reality

Re: 2014 AAA
Its hard to make the NHL. I think an attainable goal for a good percentage is to make OHL/ NCAA.
Lots of guys under 6 feet tall make it there. Look around the GTHL coaches, many examples. RM was a 5th over all pick in OHL, played pro for many years. He is maybe 5 7", DE is 5"5 played in OHL and pro. They did not make millions but got payed to play a game that everyone said " he is to small" the same way you count out many kids when they are 10 years old, let them play!
