So you think that even on a college or professional level, JS should give ALL his players equal playing time like they would get on a PAL team? You must be from the everyone-is-a-winner, everyone-gets-a-trophy parent's group. Nothing kills production more than there being no "reward" for hard work and results. Kids on a high-skill team need to see some reward for working hard and being the best.....or why would they push themselves so hard? I have been to many of the tournaments that the Blast plays in and all of the kids get lots of playing time. Perhaps in the championship game, the stronger kids get a little more time, so be it....they have worked for it. It is an incentive for the other kids to work to get to that position. The respect that the Blast kids show to their coaches and each other is amazing. They are such a close-knit group and that certainly contributes to their success.
