I agree with keeper... Not everyone is going to be lucky enough to have a senior to graduate and get a rising freshman to come in be just as good and take his place. I know many great goalies who did play jv there freshman and even sophmore years. Getting back to JV goalies not meaning anything... Here is a great example... the goalies for BC Hans Weed (rising Sophmore) and JC Gypin (Rising 9th Grader). Both of these players are great goalies, though Hans may have more experience since he is older and seen the game more. So if JC plays JV does that mean he is not good enough to play for other high school teams!! Does that mean he is not a good keep!!
