Both goalies at Heros and MND are very good. Both have stellar defenses in front of them.
I would say that the 4 goalies for both teams are good. Each has their strengths. Though there are other goalies in the league that are equally as talented that do not have the luxury of having the same defense supporting them. In addition, these goalies have to go against both M&D's and Hero's high powered offenses. Just my 2 cents.
MY kid is a goalie and Ive heard on more than one occasion, get your kid on a below avg or avg team to develop. You want them seeing as many shots as possible and not all with good defenses.
From experience, it helps a goalie develop quickly. But once they hit 8th grade and higher, it becomes an issue. The girls get stronger and the shots get faster. At a certain point, the issue of safety becomes a factor. Three games of 30+ SOG takes a toll on a young body. Believe me when I say it's no fun going for a concussion check while everyone else is relaxing between games. With no defense, crease cranks and repeated 8m run ins, mine has taken as many as six to head in a day.
