Greatest Squirt you ever saw

[O-townClown]

Two of the best squirts that we played against were Rushin and Hunt. I think one was Edina and the other was Jefferson. They had incredibly hard shots and we would have 2-3 guys limping around the bench when we played them. Anybody know if they played in college or beyond.

I'll take a couple blind guesses. Hunt is probably Dave Hunt from Edina West. I believe he played HS golf as well. There is a Dave Hunt on hockeydb.com that shows at Maine in the very early 80s.

A Rushin from Bloomington may be the older brother of the Sports Illustrated guy that married the basketball player. Rebecca Lobo? Not sure. Anyway, there is a Rushin on hockeydb.com that played at Providence.

Shots in the dark, but these may be the guys you played against.

The others you mentioned are certainly stars.

I think it is important to note that I'm not trying to take a look at guys that played in college and then looking back to remember that they were good Squirts. I'm trying to look at who the greatest Squirt was and then looking forward to see what happened to them.

o - town i totally understand your topic here. some squirts fade away into the night but many go on to be the best players on their teams through high school aaron ness was really something to watch as a squirt and well hell be drafted here soon. you also have to look at the mantality of this hockey board. the majority on here have kids that are bantams now. its not as bad as it was last year but its still bad. when people come on here and start saying you cant see a hockey player at a young age its because either their kid isnt any good at the squirt level and they still want hope or they themselves wernt good as a squirt and their still holding out hope. the last one is if the topic isnt on the bantam level theyll criticize. now i know you can see great players at a young age and ive been arguing that point for years on this board. ofcourse thing change that holds true forever thats life you can have a superstar at highschool and he never can crack that d1 or junior team. so it doesnt matter what level you see talent at its all the same.
