Then Extreme wins it all vs Laxachusettes 8 to 5


Extreme gets smoked by Hawks or Laxachusettes, both of those teams are littered with reclassed kids. Extreme only has a hand full of holdbacks to compete. [/quote]

Extreme wins it all. Beat Hawks in semi final game which should have been final. Then Smoked Jesters Black in finals. Jesters Black beat 91 Orange in regular play to advance and play Team Michigan who beat Express North in regular play to advance out of their division. Amazing thing is Wantagh and Team Michigan tied and Express North beat Wantagh pretty easily. Guess that's why you play the games.

Great tournament. Only issue is the teams from Boston and their kids being 2 years older. Boys do talk on the field coaches and they dont BS like the parents. Its a shame you need to bring kids that are 16 to play kids that are 13 and 14 kids years old. [/quote]

Agree with most of what you said above, take exception that the Hawks should have been in Final. The teams in the finals won their way there. Jesters Black earned their way to that game. Won 5 games in a row to get there. Beat the team who everyone calls the number 3 team on LI in 2018 in 91 Orange rather convincingly 6-3. In a game that Orange played so dirty, they had double the amount of penalties than goals. Then they had to go play and beat that True Michigan Team with absurdly older, bigger kids. No excuses here on the final result, Extreme won handily. Point is, Jesters Black earned that trip to the finals, regardless of the outcome. Best of luck the rest of the summer. [/quote]
Look, yes Jesters won their division and playoffs. But if seeding was done in the correct way Hawks and Extreme should have been on opposite sides to meet in finals. We do know the way the tournament was setup that 91 Extreme and Orange were supposed to meet in finals. I dont know how Team Michigan beat Express North. Wantagh and team Michigan tied 3 to 3. While Express North handled Wantagh easily. An amazing day by all with a bunch of surprises. Jesters did impress and did handle 91 Orange to my surprise. Good luck to all. [/quote]


I agree with 91 having teams in opposite brackets. They should not have to play each other before championship if they are both lucky enough to make it that far. Lot of good team. Hawks were not in toughest bracket. Michigan, Laxachusettes and Express North were top teams that beat each other!Any one of them could have made to finals if brackets done differently. [/quote]

Two of the three teams you mention were not made up of 13 and 14 year olds. That might have been the toughest bracket of the tournament. Cant forget HOS Black and Tribe were also in same bracket.
