Hey Pavel, i've been following you for quite a few years now and remember watching the first videos of you training and giving publicity to Aito. It is awesome to see you still committed to him and honing his talent and commitment to the sport. Cheers and keep doing the amazing things for the sport of hockey you do.

I'm impressed with the overall skill of all the Japanese youngsters! keep growing the game

I played against Aito in the 2014 Bell Capital Cup in Ottawa Ontario. The kid was fantastic and obviously still is. Have always been wondering where he is playing now so it’s good to see him still playing.

Great video I love it when you put Aito in here!

Watching this during online class

I’ve always had so much respect for Aito- he works so hard and is such a fantastic player who tries not to let his size affect him. His skills are amazing

I cant believe how good he is for his age. I want to be just like aito

Aito is a very good player. But, have you heard of this player named Yusaku Ando from Japan? He got drafted in like the 22nd round in the USHL by the Youngstown phantoms and he is playing in the USHL as a fifteen year old. He is a phenomenal player and I had the chance to be able to play with him for a season. He is going to go far that’s for sure!

he is 17 now

He has some amazing skills, but he has two big things working against him. First is his size. He is 16 years old and only 5'3" and 117 lbs. By 16 most guys are within a couple inches of their adult height, meaning it is unlikely he will ever be taller than 5'6" and 130-145lbs. The only successful player I can think of that size was Theo Fleury, but he was built like a tank at 180lbs. Even Johnny Gaudreau would have 3 inches on Aito. Second is lack of competition. He is clearly on another level compared to the rest of the Japanese kids he is playing against. If he were in the highest leagues of Canada, US, or Europe he couldn't simply dangle or out skate everyone with ease. I wish the best for him, hopefully in the coming years he can make his dreams come true. It will be a tough road for him for sure.

You have some valid points here, especially with competition but remember, we don't know what this kid wants. He might be perfectly happy being a Japanese hockey phenom and staying with his family and friends. He has a passion for the game that isn't just on an individual accolade level. In his highlights he celebrates more when his teammates score than when he puts on a TSN highlight reel play of his own. Also with the size thing, you're definitely right on being undersized, but I was 5'2 and 135lbs when I was 16 and the summer between 16 to 17 I went to 6'0 and 180lbs. The game has changed and size isn't as important, if he can keep himself safe, his skill will speak for itself. All we can do as fans is watch and enjoy!

It would be amazing to see him in the NHL but that’s an extremely tough journey...I got buddies who were superstars at around that age and they still are struggling to crack a starting lineup in the NHL ( not to brag or anything ) puts a smile on my face that hockey is in Japan tho 👌🏽🙏🏽

look how dominant he is and still he likes to pass to his teamates. a sign that he wont be a selfish player when he grows up

Poetry in motion.

Aito ❤️❤️

The good thing is hes still rly good at 15

Not human!

That edge work is crosbyesque. Kid gains some strength and works on his shot (puck doesn't jump off his stick) he's got a chance.

Pav, are you his private coach and how did that happen?

3 more years boys

Where's he playing now? He's got a lot of talent and skill but really wish he can play in North America somewhere to see how he measures up against tougher competition.

Props to Pavel Barber for taking this kid under his wing over the years but truth of the matter is I'm not sure if he's really interested in playing pro hockey anywhere except maybe back home. If he was serious I'd say he's already here playing in the North American leagues. Unless I'm wrong and he is already. It would be a great story if he made it somehow even in the AHL or ECHL. But the junior leagues in the U.S . and especially Canadian juniors are a whole nother level then if he's still in Japan. Needs to come over and try at least or else he'll be another nice kid story. Really rooting for him though would be cool to see if he can play at a higher level.

he was selected 107th overall in the ushl draft a little while ago, and i’m honestly not even sure if he stayed back home or came to north america to continue his development as i’m not following him on social media. but id imagine that he did end up coming here it’d only be for the best. but yes i do agree with what you said

He looks awesome, hes gonna need to grow tough enough to take hits and have good enforcers around him though

I like the way Pavel is teaching him, he showing aito he can try these fancy dekes in game, but if he messes up he gotta back check or fix the situation. I wish my coach was like that. In January I got past the back from behind the back through the legs. Then scored five hole but he told me to stop. EVEN THOUGH IT WORKED.
