Why would we travel up there? The best events are here. The best 2020 teams are here too (Madlax, Crabs and Looneys).

Keep on laughing. Madlax's Spring playday was well run, but not LI teams came down. Guess they were too scared to put up or shut up.

Stop saying madlax 2020 is a top club because they are no where near that. They're probably the the 20th ranked club in the 2020 age group that's why they didn't get invited to play in the elite division of hoco and they had to try and play in.

We were petrified. The playday at the ill School put Madlax's playday to shame.

Who is we?

"Almost" LOL

Who is we?

Just heard that Madlax 2020 used 2019 players this past weekend to shore up their roster. Guess it's ok to cheat as long as it's your own tournament.

This is totally false. The roster has remained the same since tryouts, and nobody, especially not a 2019, was added for this past weekend.

Besides Crush and Terps, Who else will be competitive on Long Island this spring?

I have a question. On the rising sons site they have put up all the info for their 2020 team. Which if I were the parents would not be too keen because there is a lot of info there. But, I find it interesting that they have a 2000 on their roster. My son is an 03 and playing 2021 so does that make him two years or three older. HMMM.

There is more than one that is older and has been in middle school for "extra time" and several were on the 2019 roster in prior years. That is also why they are suddenly better this year over the past two years. Some "old" blood brought in.

My older son is a 99 and is on a 2017. Having a 00 on a 2020 makes no sense

I also credit them for providing names and birthdays. But that being said, only one third of the roster would be in 8th grade in NY.

For the Atlantic Youth Hockey League, which is the highest league kids can play in from Metro NY down to MD (by kids I mean 8-12 more or less), they have the names with month and year of birth for all players on all teams on their central website. Of course, hockey is strictly calendar year age based. The use of only month and year instead of actual birthday mitigates the disclosure complaints that some parents have. For instance, it can be published that a kid is born 6/2002 without disclosing the particular date.

Also, don't kid yourself, recruiting has a lot to do with all of that info being published. It gets it out there to all coaches.

Frankly providing the entire date is an identity theft no, no. And kids get their ID hijacked, and they often don't know it. What a mess it creates. If I were a parent, I would be pissed.

You need a lot more than a name and dob to steal someone's identity. DOBs are not secret anyway. Half of my kid's school and parents know my kids DOB, as well as every coach he has had for every sport he has played, plus all teachers and school personal. Not to mention anyone who snoops around Facebook and social media. But nonetheless, if I were Sons, I would post month and year only like hockey does it. Still serves the purpose of identifying how old the kid is to recruiters and interested parties for transparency purposes. No material difference between 6/2002 and 6/15/2002.

What 2020 travel teams are attending the Spring Lax Jam on 4/30?

Kudos to Sons for posting birthdates. At least they aren't playing games like Crabs.
