WHL rookie scores one-handed goal

January 20, 2010 – Adam Steevens

I stumbled upon this video when I was checking scores on NHL.com – and the one-handed backhand is definitely impressive.

Nino Niederreiter is getting rave reviews from NHL scouts, and there’s some who think Nino could sneak into the first round of the draft this year. His numbers are pretty solid for a young prospect (26g, 18a, 41GP), and he’s definitely got some offensive potential.

This was in the CHL Top Prospect game skills competition. It is meant to just have fun and show off so it was entirely appropriate. Great player but #1, I don’t know, Taylor Hall is a much better player.
