Good for the deserving teams, good for the parents of those programs. But do the other teams and parents feel their kid's club is good enough to compete with teams outside of LI, vs clubs that will punish 91 & Exp as well? Some teams that played shouldnt have been there and it was evident. They wasted their money. But that is probably what the parents wanted. And dont tell me about the experience. Driving 5 hrs to be eliminated in 2 hrs and play "consolation games" in a rain storm the next day? Doesnt sound like an enticing experience to me. Should have spent that $ getting your kid's more even competition locally.
My son is on a team that had no chance and he wanted nothing more than to go and have the experience. To some extent its the only time he and his buddies get to see the big bad boys from LI. He had fun and thought it was a cool event. Glad we dont have to go to Denver though. Really dont get why this isnt an east coast event in Philadelphia around the same time as the NCAA finals but thats me.
