Fresh off a fantastic showing at the U18 World Championships, Slovakian forward Nela Lopusanova is mesmerizing crowds yet again.

Check out this insane spinning goal for Lopusanova in a top prospects game in Prague just yesterday:

Insane. The drive to the net and the skill and agility to to stick with the puck and make contact in mid air. Just insane talent.

For those who don't know much about Lopusanova, she's the real deal. Just 14 years old, she is dominating the women's game like no one else in history. Playing in the top Slovakian women's league this past season she put up an astounding 28 goals and 49 points in... get this... just eight games. Eight freaking games! That's an average of over six points per game! In a pro women's league! Again, just insane talent.

Oh, and if you're a hater wondering how she'd do against men, well she put up 24 goals and 56 points in just 19 games in Slovakia's top U16 men's league. She's competing against boys her own age and dominating them. In fact, she has been more productive than NHL #1 pick Juraj Slafkovsky playing in the same league, at the same age that Slafkovsky did. Again, she's the real deal.

Some scouts are saying that Lopusanova could be the first woman drafted into the NHL, but there's a long road ahead before we can even truly consider that. Again, she is just 14 years old and hasn't even come state-side yet to show off her talent. She has been recruited to North America by Bishop Kearney High School in New York and is expected to lace up the skates for the school's club team this upcoming Fall. Beyond that, there will likely be a bit of a bidding war for her talents in the NCAA ranks. Beyond that, there's no telling how far this young woman can go. She has the talent and the determination to dominate the women's game, but her physical, mental and emotional development will be key in whether or not she's able to make a name for herself in the difficult world of men's pro hockey. 

All of this is to say: Remember her name.
