I guess we’ll see on 5/11.

Igloo Winter Soldiers beat Express East by one

Express Chucks beat Igloo by at least 3 goals and dominated the game

Express Chucks and Express East tied and Chucks lost in OT/Braveheart

Seems like the chatter of Rebels and Igloo being top dogs needs to die down.

Express east beat chucks today. Igloo beat East 6-5. Competitive games. No clear top team in group. Back to regular scheduled banter about who’s 10 year old is going to Hopkins!

Rebels beat igloo 10-3 the other day missing 2 of top kids who are injured.

Good to see parity starting to build, but think igloo might just be down a bit.

Was this a tournament?

Rebels bested Igloo a few weeks by 1 or 2 goals, not 7.

Just another rebels troll. Anyone there knows we didn’t beat igloo 10-3. We beat them by one goal.

No, this was a Play Day at the Quadrangle. Nice weather all did well.

Oh boy Rebels lost to chucks…. Again! Twins mom must be losing it! Hoping they beat Igloo in the final so we can all agree 2031 teams in island all @ChillLaxin

Rebels! Lost to chucks. I guess the twins mom got to see what happens on 5/11

Had bad game, won finals. Go away.

Champions REBELS

Yes we got out played. Good tough game but they played well. Anything can happen and thats why they play the game . Congrats boys on another chip!

Express,Rebels,Igloo all AA teams.91 B

They all @ChillLaxin! Some of the worst lax watched or played yesterday, Madlax and Next Level are AA The rest are just taking up space in the field

You guys argue about who’s the best but chucks, stealth, amana and soldiers are pretty equal. Miesse should have been in the division against 91 warriors who’s probably better than the titans.
Hartfolis isn’t even a team it’s like players pulled from all over and should have played against the town teams miesse played against. Unless your on those top 4 teams talent falls off big time

Armada gets ignored? They should have been 2-1 but had Tough buzzer beater goal for East to tie —the kid shot on 1-0 and the East lights out goalie takes it, clears it, and 3 kids fall into Armada crease for a goal 1sec before the horn. If only Armada kid runs through X! Very dramatic ending. Armada had a backup goalie for some reason.

Concur on AA. Great battles. Chucks over Stealth but couldn’t pull out the wins against Armada and Soldiers. Express East not even close but tied with Titans!!!

Warriors on top in B look strong should be AA. Very tough play and well coached.

Riot??? Heard they merged with their C team from a parent on club. Kids couldn’t catch or pass. Major drop from fall.

Miesse cleaned up in the C bracket.

Did not see Exp hart team but a parent from Igloo said those kids who got cut from their B team, so would explain.

Matchups from one team to the next are interesting in this group. Express East hangs with Chucks last week, EE then gets smoked by Stealth, Stealth loses to Chucks, Chucks loses to Armada, Armada ties Express East. Is it matchups? Parity? Or just any given Sunday?

Please don’t ever ask for S2S to be apart of any top conversation. B team for life. Armada stinks

I saw 2 games of exp Harto. Rebels east they could have won even though they only had 3 offensive kids that could play and really move the ball. Saw their last game vs riot only one of the kids were still there that could play, they never took him off the field and there wasn’t a riot kid who could play him, so I could see how you saw it’s a throw together team, he was probably from another express team.

Warriors are too good to play the B division

Titans are not an AA team.

Surprised at the lack of development on Titans. Very unlike 91 to right off an age group but they just don’t have the talent or depth at 31.

Why wouldn't they try to recruit from within? The Warriors are solid and many of the kids already know each other. Seems like a tough spot for the org.

Have to keep the dad coaches friends happy

The Titans are a mess. No question. But doubtful they will recruit from within unless there is a really strong player on the Warriors, which isn't the case. 91 will recruit outside and think it's safe to say, that the Titans won't look remotely the same year over year. There will be a massive facelift for this team, it will not continue in this form as it is unacceptable.

I would agree with this statement. However there is a dad coach or 2 that have kids with no business being on the team. This will deter people from coming over. They will have a hard time recruiting kids from other teams unless they get a lot better. If they don’t then they will start pulling out of state studs from Florida, NC etc in 7th grade. So yes they will be very good eventually. The question is will it be from Long Island players or out of state kids who fly up for tournaments

My kid will never play for a dad coach again—yes he would make any team he tried out for. Armada apparently had a back up goalie—tough situation for everyone except the teams they versed. It seems Any giving weekend at this point. Idc but the detest on S2S is funny and entertaining.

The Titans face the same issue as 91 Chaos. Dad coaches who have sons that belong on the B team. Better players get overlooked or taken for granted. Titans will not have many if any talented players from LI that would want to join that toxic environment just like the Chaos team. Organization will go outside after 7th grade in order to save face with their brand recognition and stature.

Pretty sure there are 2 coaches that are part of both the Chaos and the Titans. The difference is that the Chaos is a pretty competetive team. What are the titans lacking the most? -offensive threats? faceoff x? goalie?

Goalie

They have some really good players. But need a little help in most positions. From the times we’ve played them they need definitely need a major upgrade at the goalie position.

What are all the dad coach remarks about? The Titans' head coach is an All American, MLL hall of famer. the B Team has two DIII coaches and a Varsity HS coach. What teams have coaches that don't have sons involved with the team?

So do you agree or disagree that all titans are AA quality players? Or are they part of the friends group?

I think they have a good number of talented athletic kids... Obviously not ALL of them.

Titans have too many dad coaches, and the dad kids aren't very good. Until they get rid of those players the team will suffer. It will be interesting to see if 91 as an org allows this team to go to the WS as is, or will they bring in a new staff and supporting cast. It's not working with Chaos, so why let history repeat itself?

They lost their lil FOGO to Ex East. Their FOGO situation, is a situation. They had talent show up to tryouts, but only took 4 kids? Friend group much? Ex east plays the daddy kid…he couldn’t actually make a move/run towards the goal when the sole defender FELL DOWN Flat! Real programs don’t have daddy coaches, end of story. Because their BF play over everyone. Did the 91 goalie go to the turtles, or was that the 30 kid—he’s good!

Sounds like a situation to stay away from, not unusual for 91 - they seem to be collecting checks with expanded rosters all ages instead of fielding quality teams
