I wanted to leave after the second period because skating around in a circle isn't that fun when I could do that for $5 in open skate.

i don't think it's just your goalie that's getting outplayed
one of the guys on my team said this to me a couple weeks ago.... 'you know you goalies have the worst job - if a centerman makes a mistake it's ok becuz there are the wingers to bail him out. if something gets by the forwards the d-men are there to bail them out. but if YOU (the goalie) make a mistake you're screwed! ....so tell me again why you like playing goal??'
my guys don't give me that hard of a time when we lose - it's gonna happen (even the odd blowout). they also know that i would invite any one of them to jump in between the pipes for a night to experience what it's like. i have yet to find any takers
it is tough when everyone is in 1 division. there's not much you can do until the league changes the way they run things. are there other teams that are always losing?? if so, talk to the captains/team reps and see if a number of you can approach the league. i run a team in a spring co-ed league and it's been a similar situation. there would be 10 teams every year and each year there would be 2 elite teams, 6 average teams and 2 teams 'just starting out'. i approached a number of the middle of the road teams and then all of us captains approached the league. as a result, next spring there will be 2 divisions - so that should make it a lot more fun for everyone.
