Goalie Kaiden Whaley, 9, is the best player in the world of the week

by Greg Wyshynski, ESPN

ESPN presents the best player in the world of the week. Each Tuesday, we’ll honor the skater or goalie from around the hockey world – every league, every level, every player – who had the best previous week, Monday through Sunday. If there’s a player you’d like to nominate, from your local team to a high school team to your beer league, email us here. And remember: Stats only tell part of the story, so tell us why he or she deserves this honor.

Kaiden Whaley. Who is Kaiden Whaley?

Well, he’s 9 years old. He started playing hockey in McDonough, Georgia, in an inline hockey league, where he fell in love with the sport and, specifically, with being a goalie. He now lives in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, and plays for the U10 Jr. Bulldogs out of Hagerstown, Maryland. It’s his first season playing on ice.

The Bulldogs faced the Georgetown Titans last weekend. The Titans’ goalie was sick, so forward Leopold Hylton was forced into action as their netminder. One problem: He had never played goalie, nor had he even ever worn the equipment before.

Hylton’s coaches told him that he was probably going to surrender some goals. He gave up seven. He came back to the bench, distraught, after the first period.

During intermission, Whaley skated over and did something that sliced right through the ferocious, competitive clichés of youth sports: He gave his opponent an impromptu goaltending clinic. He taught Leopold how to move properly when facing shots, how to better use his gear in making saves.

While it didn’t turn him into Dominik Hasek, the chat helped calm Leopold down and allowed him to enjoy the next two periods.

Goalies are the best human beings on earth 😭

I’m very stupid what happened with the nhl?

let me try to break this down thoroughly:

austin watson is an american hockey player currently with the nashville predators, drafted in 2010. on june 2016 he was charged with domestic assault and then later plead “no contest” when the case was argued in court, on july 24. his girlfriend had been found with red marks all over her chest, as if she’d been beaten again and again.

as the nhl is the ONLY major sports league without a specific policy regarding domestic violence, each case has to be accessed individually. so gary bettman conducted an investigation and a hearing with austin watson, whatever the fuck that meant, and ultimately decided to suspended watson. watson would be suspended for 27 games and restart his career on december 3rd, fine and dandy.

relevant to add that during this time watson was authorized by the preds to use their considerable resources (which kinda takes the “without pay” part out of the equation), and the nhlpa filed an appeal on his behalf. despite being suspended for beating the mother of his child, watson was allowed on ice on october 3rd, in full uniform, to celebrate the start of a new season with his teammates.

because obviously none of this shit has been grotesque and mocking enough, yesterday the nhl announced that a fucking piece of shit arbitrator decided 27 games for domestic fucking violence was just too much and reduced his suspension to 18 games. 18 games. 2 games less than tom wilson and nate schimdt will be suspended for. if this doesnt tell you exactly how the nhl sees violence against women , i dont know what will. i’m disgusted he’s allowed to play at all, but there’s been other cases like his, some worse, some in my own teams, so while disgusted, i wasnt surprised. this reduction, however, is a statement. yet again, it tells the fans, the players, their partners and their families, that the nhl not only has room for domestic abusers–it makes room.
