In many cases these kids have received the best coaching, training, and skill development available and from a very young age.

Because Iggy Sr. is one of the best ever at his position, which happens to be the same as his son plays (minus the side), and his influence would go beyond time at the rink.
The influence of one's immediate kin transcends that of a teacher, coach or trainer in a lot of ways. It would show tij how to think and carry himself in and outside of the rink from a guy who has had ample success and the right mentality to find sustained success at the highest level.
In that capacity, Tij would absolutely have a leg up in that he has the perfect person to model from a young age.
I don't see why that would be hard to grasp.
