Disagree. Had no idea how to play together since they only had one practice. Redeemed their first loss in the play-offs against a good DC team and should have redeemed their other loss to NE (eventual winner) when they were up by 2 with less than 2 minutes left. That game should have never gotten to an OT stick check, Do agree that there was mixed talent on the team and that hurts when you pretty much give everyone even playing time.
"Mixed talent" but let me guess, your kid was the best one, correct? The rest sucked.
How many YJs on the team? assume they knew how to play together? what teams had more than 1 practice? Why r there ALWAYS excuses? If you lose 3 of 6 games, and the eventual champion goes 7-0, beating you twice including one time that wasn't much of a game 12-6 and wasn't ever really in doubt (yes the semi-final game could have gone either way and yes the NE team came back with only a few minutes to go but don't they deserve some credit for that?) don't you just tip your cap and say at least for this tournament "the better team won"? I think you will find it's cathartic. Very likely, the next tournament a group of LI girls will win, because they are great players and great competitors. It just wasn't this week. It's ok.
