If you watched Mount Sinai - which is basically all YJ's - you would see all of the YJ tactics on display. Butt ends, cross checks, checking around the head, flops, goggle grabs, pulling strings, walking after the whistle, throwing your stick and knocking off your own goggles and head band, etc. etc.

It's really gross to teach the players to play the way they play.


Cue the standard YJ responses of:

1. If your daughter can't play the physical (illegal) game, she won't stand a chance in college -- continually misses the point that these are kids not college athletes

2. "If you're not cheating, you're not trying" --- ethics many parents and coaches don't want to teach their children and players, but it's fine with this organization


It really was just an honest question. Are the girls coached these techniques?(In terms of coming in with their butt ends) If so, that is a shame.
my daughter played through the YJ system and currently plays in college and she was NEVER taught to play unfairly you people are nuts. The MT Sinai girl who pulls her strings does it because she gets away with it but was not taught that by CR or any other coach...most of these kids will do what they can until they get caught..stop blaming coaches and directors and start looking at parents. WHen something doesnt work you willhear a dad or mom tell their kids to do something completely against what the coach wants!!


It's systematic with the YJ's. That's why they were lectured to at the U15's several years ago. They are taught to cheat or bend the rules. It is rampant on YJ teams. And if girls are doing it, it is the coach's responsibility to end it. However, they don't because winning is more important than anything else.
