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.
Depends on the team, the goalies, the game. Are you going to pull a goalie who is hot in a big game? Can’t really answer the question because it is a case by case situation. There are elite and AAA who carry second goalies who do not see much time. There are others who split. Too many factors involved.
