thx...we're trying not to burn him out before he's old enough to really enjoy the game; problem is he's really good... he's 9yrs old, in an under 11 youth league... first game 5-0 shutout. Usually goalies average 5+ goals /game at this level here... he's under 2. And most are from the traditional powerhouse team that averages 11-12 goals a game against everyone else... against Noah they average 3.
