Thing about leagues like that one - there are widely varying skill levels.
I even see it in Calgary. In my kid's division, there are 12 PeeWee teams. So the players are close in ability on each team. But this means that the Pee Wee 12 team (the bottom one) plays teams from other divisions with way less Pee Wee teams. So if they play the bottom team from an area with only 6 teams, that team's best players probably would have made my division's team 9 or 10 (and are therefore way better). This shows up in goal a lot.
There's also some occasions when a kid misses evaluations and gets put on an entirely wrong team.
All that to say - this kid might not be able to do that against a Calgary area PeeWee 1 team.
