Wow, express "A" team.Golly

My thoughts exactly.

Big money guy bought his son a spot on the team. Basically will never be cut even though his talent level is not there,

says who, u

he's actually a very nice kid and He improved quite a bit. BUT , anyone who thinks that EVERYONE gets picked for the best team based on T H E I R ABILITY, would be very wrong. scams are a part of life.

Sad that many unwitting parents will make the same mistake at the try out next year.And the year after that………..

My point exactly. I didnt say anything about the boy other than he is there because of his dad's influence. So I agree with you he is a scam....talent wise.

sounds like you are both part of the team. bad karma if you ask me. every team has talent and money all the way through college and thereafter. money talks. what everyone should be doing is keeping these teams together instead of always looking for the better deal and talking about what's fair and unfair. it's just one cutthroat deal after the next. that's why these programs with not succeed in the long run. kids get better. don't put any stock in a ten year olds ability or non-ability. it's too soon. scam is not the right word. better opportunity than some but isn't it always the way. stay the course. if your kid is good he will be noticed regardless of the trust fund kid standing next to him.

My son's team played the Express yesterday at Hofstra. The Express team was the only team I noticed all day that had 3 goalies. I pay attention to that position since it's the one that my son plays. Is this normal for LIE teams to carry more than 2 goalies?

There was a Pequa and F'dale helmet that were very strong and a St. Anthony's helmet that was very weak in my observation from that 1 game.

There were only supposed to be 2 goalies. One goalie on the team did not confirm that he was going to be there, and just showed up.

What year?

Mike C put the kid on the MS Empire Cup Team and the kid stunk up the field but still got a write up because his father gave Mike C big bucks . IMHO that constitutes scam or fraud or whatever derogatory label that Mike C deserves . My sympathy goes out to you 2019 parents and kids of that Express "A" team.

Three Goalies on 2018 Team 2. Probably 3 very unhappy players and parents...

It happens every day. It's not shocking. Sad maybe but not shocking.

Just curious, Express colors now Black and Orange?

Is there still an Express NYC 2020 team.?

Boy, some people sure do get Nasty when the "E" name comes up.

Mike C is laughing all the way to bank....Wake Up.

every program is laughing their way to the bank not just MC. he just gets the most flack for it because what separates his program from the others is most kids are leaning toward catholic school, which is all about the grades anyway.

No it is not about the grades... Just a lie!

He is just a scam!!Especially when he holds it against your kid for not continue with his additional training..#$
