    Cole Caufield is listed has 5'8'' on the NHL's website. A friend of mine who's around 5'7'' met Caufield randomly in a store once. He told me ''there's no way Cole is 5'8''. He's smaller than me.''
    It's always funny to me when they boost these stats

    Juuse "Juice" Saros is our favorite - he gets a lot of flack from commentators about his height but part of his charm is he's a fairly average height guy (short for NHL) in a role notoriously favoring tall players and proves height isn't everything. Feels a bit more relatable that way.

    Kinda disagree... it depends how the small skaters skate like with a wide base like Marchand or a traditional narrow base like Jack Hughes. Do you use the hip check? And how heavy are you? Guys like Nils Hoglander, Brad Marchand, Logan Stankoven, and even Cole Caufield are built like little rocks that don't go down easy and might deliver the blow themselves. Especially Hoglander, that dude is solid!!

  • @bradyhill2136

    I think you’re missing one huge part of this. Developing during youth hockey. The Scouts and coachs are gonna pick the biggest and most promising looking players so the division starts at mites and squirts. The smallest players are more likely to be less skilled so they get put on the lower teams. The compounding effect of having the best coaches and more ice time as kid vs having the 2nd tier coach’s and less practice or games is huge in youth development.
