How far into the community tryouts are they at this point?
I would venture to guess his age was a significant factor in the process. Each team can only carry 8 first years maximum, so it can be tough to use that spot on a goalie if they aren't a good level above the next guy. Sometimes coaches also don't realize how many they are going to end up wanting to keep until later. What type of feedback did he get? I know for any kids that found themselves in this situation for us (ie, good enough to play, but can't keep them due to age) we tell them straight up that it's largely to do with the age rule.
