Zach is four-year old kid whose knowledge of the Canucks is pretty remarkable. Not only does he know the name of every player on the team, but he knows all of their numbers, too. I suspect he’d score a tidy 39 out of 39 on the PITB roster quiz; Zach knows what’s up.

Four-year-olds struggle with the alphabet. This kid can remember that Aaron Rome wears 29 and pronounce “Maxim Lapierre.”

Zach knows the entire schedule, too. I bet you none of the Canucks remember who they played on December 28, but Zach does, because Zach is like if Google was a four-year-old boy.

Seriously, how many four-year-olds know who Lee Sweatt is? How many twenty-year olds? How many twenty-year olds within the Canucks locker room? Very few. But Zach does. He even remembers what number Sweatt wore. Heck, he remembers Alex Bolduc, which is more than I can say for his mother. And the Canucks organization.

Anyway. I don’t know anything else about Zach, but it’s a pretty safe bet that his dad is Pierre McGuire.

 

Thanks to Karen for the tip.

    What you /don’t/ know is that all of the answers are written on that toy truck!

      I suspected as much. Or the truck is telling him the answers.

    this kid is clearly, CLEARLY, Alex Bolduc in disguise…otherwise, what right-minded person would notice if they missed his name from the roster list, when he’s been more invisible than Harry Potter when he puts on his invisibility cloak, ergo this kid IS Alex Bolduc…Plastic Surgery’s come a loooonnnnngggg way in the 21st century…he nearly had us fooled!

    This video is clearly shopped.

    That, or the kid has a very good photographic memory. Or a teleprompter.

    what’s with the apostrophe after Canucks in the header? gotcha. there’s nothing belonging to them in the title.

      Yeah, originally, this post had a different title in which the apostrophe was necessary. When I changed it, the orphaned apostrophe lingered.

      Good catch.

      Hopefully, he’s completely neurotypical and just sort of brilliant.

    I wouldn’t have remembered what number Alex Bolduc and even after viewing the video I still can’t remember.

    Its not the truck he tosses it all over and we see every side of it. He does look left and up about 15 times , not every time but a good portion before he answers. Cloud be the Q card there for when he gets stuck. He does know a portion of the answers. Its not very hard to memorize a list. 1 – NAME 2 – NAME etc its actually very dirt simple memorization. Memorization is best done via imagery, so they can show the player cards with IMAGE / NUMBER / NAME and even you drunk high school failures will remember them. There are only 30 pairs to remember. Even 3 years olds can learn useless stuff like this at 3 years old

      I remember hearing once that when we recall/retrieve information from memory, our eyes often subconsciously move in a certain pattern. It could be that Zach’s eyes move up and right because that is what happens naturally when a person accesses their visual memory. This is the best site I could find to explain it with a quick google search – check the diagram out about halfway down.

      I agree that people can memorize lists, and I think that is what happened, not that the four year old is quickly looking at a sheet that Mom and Dad have created to trick the youtube universe.

      Just my $0.02.
