However, I can see total justification from the other parents and teams why this kid should be playing at a higher level. Imagine if a 9 year old was in the calgary minor hockey system playing div 2 or 3 and scoring 9 goals a game, but refused to be moved up a division!

I think this has been the most level headed post and the most fair. The kid is throwing 40K balls that should be looking at under handed pitches.
Three questions...
1. Why didn't the father or coaches recognize that this boy's development is above this league?
2. Like all house leagues there are try-outs to see who can play where so why wasn't this boy spotted and moved up?
3. What other issues are there here that prevent this boy playing with his peers?
