This "thug ball" stuff started several years back during National Draw when 2015 YJ blue played 2015 TG black and a broken bone was sustained by a TG player. One goal game with a couple minutes left. Some deemed the check "cheap". Then the same 2015 YJ blue team played a MD team and a MD player sustained a broken leg. Some deemed the check "cheap". Same tournament...second incident.
That is when a poster started calling the YJ style of play "thug ball".

This moderator believes the YJ kids are aggressive but not "thugs". They play within the rules as other clubs do. They are carded as other players are when they violate the rules. "Thug ball" is old, untrue and frankly not representative of how the kids play.
Let it go......
what "the Hop" forgot to mention is the broken leg sustained by the Skywalkers player at L.F.A.C. or the constant swinging over girls heads, cross checks on "D" and "overly aggressive" pushing for ground balls. It's pretty obvious that The Hop has a daughter that either has, or still does play for Y.J. so I guess we can see where this board will go. No Mr. Hop I and other posters will not "let it go" as you so flippantly say while these things happen to our daughters


Thank you for speaking up, I have noticed for the past couple days the new superior attitude of this new moderator "the hop" who seems like he has his own agenda policing these forums spewing his beliefs...moderating is not the same as controlling and telling people when to chill on a topic if it goes against your beliefs but is not breaking any rules on this forum. intervene when necessary "Mr Hop" but for the most part keep your own agendas to yourself.


Thanks for your opinion. Like you I have an opinion on this issue and you can bet I will voice it. The whining and language used to debate this has at times been questionable. My post was not a personal attack nor off base as yours was. Further, your assumption that I am a YJ parent or any assumption you have made is as expected false. My personal agenda as you stated it to clear up the nonsense that posters like you throw out there. Your ridiculous assumptions and childish name calling not withstanding I am sure there are some useful and constructive thoughts you can contribute.
