11-Year-Old Japanese Kid Is A Hockey God

11-year-old Iguchi Aito is a hockey genius from Japan and he can stickhandle circles around you.

Iguchi Aito is an 11-year-old kid from Japan who is off his rocker with hockey skills. His stickhandling is simply absurd and allows him to float between, around, and through whatever hapless 11-year-olds happen to be in his way. Aito scores effortlessly and as he passes to himself between his legs, he shows the calmness of a man playing against boys. Except, please recall, he is a boy playing against other boys.

If you're wondering if Aito is one of those annoying kids who's not only so much better than everyone else, but also a ball or puck hog, fear not; Aito gets his teammates in on the action plenty. Sometimes they don't finish how Aito might have—we're not here writing an article about how crazy-good Aito's teammates are, after all—but it's still cool to see a young player who is both awesome and a good teammate. If his teammates don't necessarily get better because of Aito, they at least have a blast playing on the same side as him.
