Someone with more experience coaching players with a track record of mentoring future NHL players
As one example Sam Dickinson has been under the coaching of Dale Hunter who has a fantastic junior coaching pedigree with several nhl stars benefiting under his tutelage.
I’m sure Iggy is a great influence for his son. But I don’t see it being the advantage that others do. Hockey has turned into a sport for the wealthy and these kids, almost all, get amazing coaching and development early on.
