Include the stigma of being a goaltender, the fact that a lot of parents are not fond of their kid standing in front of frozen pucks, and that most kids don't start being a goaltender until their early teens and you have the issues for development.

It's not less expensive elsewhere, and since when is there a stigma of being a goaltender?
