Yeah, but just for the sake of argument, with his kid's record as compared to the one awarded the MVP, how did that happen and why? Does seem odd, don't you think?

Hockey is a team sport. Maybe the one with the lower stats is a better player stuck on a bad team. Another scenario may be that the kid with the high stats hogs the puck, taking shots when he should pass and not a very good team player. There are quite a few scenarios where someone with lower individual stats may be a better player.

Sure, but that's life. The kid's father shouldn't take this valuble lesson away from his kid. Life is unfair. Always has been and always will be. The kid will be so much better off if he learns that awards don't mean anything in terms of his real abilities.

The best player isn't always the highest scorer. Maybe the guy can't play defense? I don't know.
