Don't think he left, pretty sure he is on multiple teams: crush,legacy,sweetlax.
He is a great kid. Didn't "quit" any teams. Still plays Smithtown and Legacy and also occasionally Sweetlax because his older brother plays on that team. He was asked to play for Crush a few times and it was all cleared with Legacy ahead of time, as they have two other excellent F/O kids. Why all the hate? Why do people care so much that a kid is exploring his options?
Sure he is a great kid but he did "quit" Team LI also this year. That makes 5 travel teams his parents committed him to this year. A bit extreme, don't you think?
Here are the facts for whoever is so concerned:
He tried out for Team LI but left the team BEFORE the season started due to schedule conflicts. All but ONE tournament conflicted with Team Smithtown schedule.
He played with Team Smithtown in all tournaments except one which was an add on.
He played two tournaments with Sweetlax. One last fall and one a couple weeks ago where he played AGAINST Crush. Making connections and friendships with teams outside Long Island could be considered a good thing by some.
He played with Legacy all season except the last tournament (Beach Bash) where he was released to play with Crush. Legacy also has several very good F/O players, and are not dependent on one.
I hope this clears up any confusion. He does play a lot of lax on multiple team to gain experience, not to offend anyone.
