A houseleague system where players should play if they dont care about winning and only care about playing.

A for a town like Edson is the rep team which means winning is the priority.

Higher level hockey requires more fundraising and practices which means more commitment from both parents and players. When that type of commitment is required winning has to be the primary thought IMO

IMO Personally I think it was a good move by the A coach to set some ground rules before the season.

I feel for your son but I would have said FU to the A team and played as the #1 on the B team. More playing time and better chance to raise his standing. Then if your child is serious about improving his game then take him to Goalie schools in Panoka or Kelowna. Also look to an off ice routine to sharpen his skills and stretching.
