I hate playing goalie, is that okay?

Encourage Goalie Play

Not many kids want to play goalie. It's always been that way and is unlikely to change in the near future. Encourage children to try the position; goalies usually get the most credit for playing good games!

At what age should a child who has played both goalie and skated out at young ages be forced to choose one or the other? If he plays on a team with two goalies, should he be allowed to skate out on days he is not in goal?
