With a spinning lacrosse-style shootout goal Monday, 10-year-old Cooper Dennie found himself at the center of a viral video — and on SportsCenter.
When Dennie skated out to take his turn Monday, the crowd could tell something was up as soon as he bent down to pick the puck up onto his stick. In a fluid motion — telling of a year's worth of practices — Dennie whipped around to slingshot the puck toward the net past the unsuspecting goalie.
The trick shot goal was met with a roar rivaling the noise level when the Blue Jackets score. Brian couldn't even hear it over the sound of his own celebration."As he bent down, the crowd kind of did an, ‘Oh?’ and then he shot it, and then they cheered," Brian said. "There was an audible first noise when he first bent down and got the puck up. It was really cool to hear that. And then I couldn’t hear anything because we were yelling.
"... I had a really great view down in the Zamboni . It was a really pure moment of just screaming at the top of my lungs at my kid when he hit it. We all got done, he was so excited and went right for his teammates. Full sprint for those guys, big hugs all around. It was awesome to see."Brian will admit that he wasn't a huge fan of the move when Cooper first started trying it. As both a coach and a dad, he would've preferred his son kept his focus on the fundamentals.
But after he pulled it off on one of the biggest possible stages, it's safe to say that Brian's opinion has softened. "Coach-slash-dad tells him he’s wasting his time, and now he’s internet famous because of wasting his time," Brian said. "It’s a really funny thing. ... It’s been really fun. I’m as excited, if not more excited, as he is. Just to see something like that happen to him, it’s really cool.
