Why can't there be three or 4 other really good teams on Long Island.

As for Express 2023 (again, no reference to HB), the team is far better off w/o BM. You have mistaken intensity on the sideline with screaming and literally scaring the crap out of most of the kids. So much that many of them did not reach there potential for fear of making a mistake while playing for BM.

The team is far better of with AJ at the helm... the kids are learning how to truly play the game of lacrosse. Results will come but, more important, these kids will become great players / ambassadors of the game for life. Wins / Losses happen in everything but respect for the kids, parents and the coaches is the most important thing. It seems the parents from Bandits, Igloo, S2S and, yes, Express Haugen have that.

Nobody on the Express 2023 team really wants BM back.... feel free to ask most of the parents next time you bump into one of them at a tournament.


Oh please cut the crap. Clearly one of the Express Directors attempting to calm the storm and keep players interested in their program. You guys a money grabbing pigs who could care less if the kids become ambassadors of the game. You guys are a joke.
