I get the sense that is more unusual than not in the Elite division. Is that true? Do kids alternate games? Do the #2 goalies barely get to play?

Obviously, the kids are getting older and this is the natural progression that will come with high school and top lax. Just curious if it started already for these teams.

At this stage clubs should split time generally equally, point of club is to develop skills, plus you are spending money. If not playing you should find new club. HS different and should be based on performance.
Disagree. High School club becomes equal playing time for recruiting purposes. Goalie has a better chance in high school club splitting time than in youth level were it’s still about winning tournaments alongside developing players.
