Check out this video of a hockey prodigy scoring on a breakaway goal during the intermission of a Boston Bruins NHL game. He shoots it BEHIND HIS BACK!
Wahlstrom plays for the Portland Junior Pirate Pee-Wee Major 97s, a team of 12-year-old players based in Maine. The team told us this morning that Wahlstrom is just 9 years old, playing up with older competition. One look at this goal, and you can see why. It also doesn’t hurt that his father, Joakim Wahlstrom, was a 10-year veteran of the Swedish Elite League.
According to NESN, that stunning tally came during the taping of the TD Bank Mini 1-on-1, a series that will debut during the first intermission of the Bruins’ game against the New Jersey Devils on Oct. 29. It’s also shown in-game at the TD Banknorth Garden.
