Outlaws reloaded and are stacked? with the same players as last year or new?
All new. Nobody needs the old players. Much better now.
So then your taking a shot at the players that stayed. Seems like a good plan for team morale. [/quote]
If they are stacked, then why did PB send out an email this morning stating that they still need a FOGO and another D? And, this is after 3 tryout dates.
If you can't control the face-off, it is pretty hard to put the ball in the net because you are on defense the whole game. The team has some very good players. There are kids on that team that can play for almost any team in the grade.
But, the team suffered badly last year because there was not a real good FOGO. They never beat one of the 4 elite teams last year--never even got close to them. They lost twice to TB and Legacy. They got smoked by IGLOO, S2S and Express Haugen. This AA team only won 1 tournament, and it was in a class A (eg.B) not AA division. Unless they massively upgraded at every position, I would be very surprised if LIOutlaws qualify for WSYL. Good luck trying though. [/quote]
You have made pretty fair evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the team. You can add consistency in the level of play as the team has moments where they appear on par with many of the elite teams and then the level drops off. What you should also realize is no Outlaws parent is going to come onto BOTC and make such claims as it just opens the team up to ridicule. Several people have posted in the past that the Outlaws are looking for the kids to improve and for the team to get better. The kids have 4-6 years to really improve in order to have a shot of playing at the next level. That is the ultimate goal. Not winning the WSYL which would be nice but, in the long run, will not get the boys into college.
In the future, if someone makes such a claim, it is not an Outlaw parent.
