26 kids on a second grade team and an 1800 price tag. At this age level everyone should play to learn the game. Having a 2nd grader sit on the bench for half the game is not what 2nd grade team should be about. As they get older, the better kids play more and the not so good kids sit more.
You're kid is not on the team, and therefore you should not be concerned with Igloo. My son is on the team and I have been around with multiple teams with my older son, and I can say that this club and coaching as well as caring for the kids is the best I have seen. I have gotten a lot for my money!! There is no owner involvement, but who cares when my son loves Tony and Tony cares about my son, and everyone gets equal playing time.
