When they are 9 and 10 years old it shouldn't matter if it is the "A" team or rep team, the main focus should still be about having fun.
There is no reason that if there are 6 goalies and three teams, that one kid should play 40 games while three other kids get to only play 15.
If at the Atom level the organization, coaches and parents are so focused on winning that they are willing to cut the ice time of kids then those people need to get their priorities straightened and perhaps leave the game altogether.
