The biggest difference between the two that Ive seen and both are very good is the kid form Big 4 H is unselfish and makes the pass when he gets doubled or tripled. I do feel bad for the Tigers kid with his dad on the sideline barking at the coaching staff. We saw that at NLF and NAL
The kid from HHH is the entire team. Last year they were a low level b team at best. Kid scored more goals in one game than entire team did all last summer at NLF and pretty much 80% of their goals this year. Imagine if he was at a program with actual talent development.
I thought HHH was one of the best clubs up in PA? I know they have some older teams that are legit. I wasn’t impressed with the 2026 squad (outside of the obvious kid), but my older boys have faced some good HHH teams over the years.
I am involved with leagues ad tournaments all over and coached in PA after college, was down in MD for a few years and am now back home in LI and I'll say the PA teams tend to be different as they never have the depth that we do up here or down in MD. Lax is growing, but still not getting enough big time athletes in PA so teams are often based around one big kid who is physically dominant instead of a full squad of kids who are dangerous. That's the HHH team with their dominant oversized middie, that's Tigers with their man child attack/middie, that PA RoughRiders with their monster attackman, that's NXT with their huge overly padded middie and probably a few other PA teams that I don't know/haven't seen. They all rely so much on one player who is currently bigger/stronger/faster (or at least fast enough). The top teams up here and the top ones down in MD are just too deep for those teams. We can matchup one on one with the big kid and double when needed and then have an advantage at every other spot on the field.
