igloo did not play two tournaments with this team. The seven 2021 players played for black ice all season.

What other tournaments did the igloo wsyl team play in?

Just shut up and play you key board loud mouth

This is not true.

This is not true. 9d1 and express using their true 2022 team. Igloo stuffed with 2021 players for qualifier only.

I bet somewhere AA is so very very upset that you have lost respect for Igloo. Everyone forgets from time to time that this is a business as well. He put together the best product he could to represent the Igloo brand within the guidelines of the WSYL...oh the shame! Take a quick peek around at the stuff other organizations pull on a regular basis.

And you will all make your donation to tryout for his pre-picked club teams

😂😂😂

Igloo is a joke!

"business", "product", these are kids, you fool. Rules aside, it is wrong in so many ways. Keep justifying it to yourself. Win or lose, it is shameful. Just like what Legacy did last year.

Right! And express has regulars from other states playing with them all the time and so does 9d1 so stop acting like everyone is so innocent. And let's not forget about kids jumping from one team to another between those two right in the middle of the season.

ANY UPDATES from WSYL

The only people upset by this are people who's kid can't make the team....
The rest of us are excited to be a part of something with some guidelines that make the competition clean and above board.

Thank you, exactly the point! Igloo's actions were with total disregard for the true team, the players, the families. Igloo first, people whatever. Everybody on the outside knows that the 2022 players that are at the World Series deep down know that their teammates who are missing were left behind and deprived of the experience.

Are you referring to the kids that committed to Igloo 2022 and the parents that paid Igloo $3K for the year, only to be excluded from the World Series and denied what some people say is one of the best youth sport experiences? You have a distorted view on the world. Hope your kid is prepared to be on the receiving end of rejection. Trust me, it happens to every human being at some point in life.

Games start tmw

90d1 has soft schedule at WSYL what a joke..........

WSYL is hardly one of the best youth sport experiences. Hockey, Baseball, are just a few examples of better

Did they list the world series as a tournament when you signed up? We have dealt with rejection, of course! It's part of the human experience unfortunately. I would never wish it on anyone, it sucks.

It's a business first and foremost...whether I agree with it or not means nothing...just me smart enough to get the big picture

Okay, go post that on Back Of The Net and Back Of The Plate

There were loud cheers for every team when introduced tonight. Not igloo. Don't seem to have many fans other then a few parents.

And you've been to them all have you?

I disagree, respectfully... I have no problem with a club putting together the best U13 players they can as long as those plans are communicated by the club. i.e. the WSYL team is separate and there will be tryouts for the team. If kids are hand picked and other kids are bumped, that stinks, yes. But make it clear that making the grade based doesn't mean your son is on WSYL team is fine. Trust me, the LI clubs better start now, because this event is growing, they have TV and major corporate sponsors, plus a leadership team that knows what they are doing. It's inevitable that Maryland, Philly, and Boston construct U13 WSYL teams. And going out on limb... but I'll guess those teams will be 'Super Teams'.

Clubs are starting to forget about the A and B team format and trying to build two balanced teams. Will prevent people from leaving from a B team after tryouts. So if they choose to qualify for WSYL it will be the best 25 kids from that age.

Thanks AA!

Hopefully those future Super teams will comply with the rules and play in 2 other tournaments outside of WSYL. Still no evidence that Igloo's Artic Ice or Black Blast competed in 2 other tournaments.

You nailed it, its a business. It's all about winning and making money. if they win they attract better players which leads to more wins and in return they get to charge more money. It's cut throat, no loyalty If a better player happens to come along then it s good bye to the last player on the bench just like pro sports. The only difference is the pro teams pay their players, youth lacrosse the parents pay the clubs.
The clubs make money of their merchandise, just like pro teams. The parents become walking billboards for the clubs. The next step is charging parking fees at the tournaments ( the top clubs run most of them), then after that they will be charging admission to the tournaments as well. If you want to see your superstar play you have to pay. The parents will come here to complain but will never say anything to a director. they will keep handing over the money. The clubs will continue to develop new avenues to raise revenue.
You don't have to agree with it but its a business, and its all about the money. The kids are just part of the money machine.

Nobody in Denver is beating Igloo. It isn't even close. #1 in the county.

Don't sleep on the API Diamondbacks. Best Express already.

Very good for a combined team.

I have to say... so far it looks like they picked the right 13 yr. olds

Igloo UNDEFEATED.

LI express 25-1 over Virginia team

U13 tourney, very smart of them. Be great watching them on TV. Hopefully vs another LI Team.

Brotherly Love will

You must be so proud; black ice lost last year so they will win this year. Lost all respect for that program.
