None of the top teams play 100% equal playing time. However, some of the top teams play every player in every game (even NGLL playoffs and summer tournament playoffs). M&D 2029 Black is not one of those team. Unfortunately, several players did not step on the field during their semifinal game vs Coppermine. And it certainly wasn't the first time that has happened this year or in prior years.

Every coach, team, and program has to balance and make decisions between trying to win vs. developing and playing all players. You can't always do both. And every parent and player has to decide what is more important to them.

M&D 29 Black is a very good team. But at what cost?
And they certainly aren't the only ones. The pressure to win to attract and retain the best talent is significant.
