I even see it in Calgary. In my kid's division, there are 12 PeeWee teams. So the players are close in ability on each team. But this means that the Pee Wee 12 team (the bottom one) plays teams from other divisions with way less Pee Wee teams. So if they play the bottom team from an area with only 6 teams, that team's best players probably would have made my division's team 9 or 10 (and are therefore way better). This shows up in goal a lot.

There's also some occasions when a kid misses evaluations and gets put on an entirely wrong team.

All that to say - this kid might not be able to do that against a Calgary area PeeWee 1 team.
Yeah, from what I remember with kids hockey there are many players who can skate circles around inferior opposition which this looks to be. I'm not saying he isn't good but he needs to play against top opposition to get a read on him.
