Another comment I saw elsewhere said that the Elite league he plays in regularly is full of very good amateur/ex-pro players as well. It's not like they picked up a guy off the street and threw the pads on him. He had a ton of experience playing against players just below the caliber of current NHL players.
That's not to diminish what he did though. It's amazing that the NHL has something like this place, and the guy seems to have taken it very very well with a lot of humility.
