Yes. Going to Express. Figured it's time to impress college coaches. Igloo no real relationship with recruiters.

No

Former owner of Excel. Seems like a decent guy.

And you are going on three years of "outlaws dont back down from no one" what you see the Warriors movie too many times. This isn't a gang fight...Outlaws is a B team, should play in B tournaments and maybe go 50/50, Kids will be happy. Who knows maybe go 60/40. The kids would love that, parents cant handle it...would rather say we lose every time in A then say we are solid B.

Which is accuate
Igloo done or igloo still making calls ?

Maybe some last minute B team calls still to be made.

We are solid B, solid C, solid A, solid AA, solid D. Take your pick the letter doesn't mean anything to anyone except the PARENT whose kid can't make the team he wants him to play for. That letter don't mean sh*t to the kids, just to the way too involved parents. It shouldn't concern you what tournaments any of the organizations play in or what bracket they join, move on, get over it. If you weren't such a loud mouth maybe you would still be part of the team. Hope your "little guy" ends up somewhere where he is happy. It is about the kids not you.

Arctic Blast no Aspen yes

Arctic Blast no Aspen yes

Get a life people

Summer is here

Funny, I just felt a cold Artic Blast. Winter is coming....

Where does the rumor have them going?

"Winter ic Coming". That is funny. Good stuff. GOT.

2022 champs !! all good here and no one is leaving just coming

Not an Igloo parent- nice try

Good Luck with that

Speak for yourself! You know as well as I do that we may lose some middies

Not true

And you wonder why Igloo parents get such a bad rap. Let your kid lead his own life; and get one for yourself.

Does anyone know anything about this Duke's Nationals team having tryouts at Hofstra?

Maybe you should ask this on a few more forums???

Yikes

Seriously

It's the Dukes Nationals posting instead of paying for the advertising!!!

smart

And still as arrogant as ever. No thanks

You are wrong again for the twentieth time.

How about something different. And somewhat positive. Can every share some positive experiences for Express, Rebels, 9! and Empire at this age, both 1st and 2nd team. I know can't all be bad or nobody would go try out lol. My son wants to tryout for 2 clubs of the 4 listed.

Come to the Outlaws tryouts , see for yourself

Why are you engaging with the Outlaws Troll? He is a sad man with a sad life. Do not engage

This is the Director Gonzo - Bozo trying to spark interest in this assbag team. He posted this in every forum. Loser.

Looks that way. I mean at least try to fake it by changing up the Post. Weak and very Lazy!

Express and 9!. Empire is a joke. Their AA team couldn't even compete against A teams.

Everyone's experience is different. I would only say you don't want to be on anyone's second team. Would rather play for a lesser club and be on their first team

What are you talking about we only lost to Express by one goal at laxfest

My son plays for the first Empire team. He's had a great experience with the team and the boys showed a lot of improvement this past year. The coaches are engaged and encouraging. I'd recommend this team to anyone.

I'm sorry if that other poster considers that to be a "joke".

The ONLY second team you would want to be on would be Igloo Aspen Extreme, they only enter in the A tournament bracket.

At the Warrior Games with the LI team now and getting ready for the playoffs. Here's my honest take. It's definitely a lot of fun. Some different kids playing together and getting to know each other is very cool. The boys are loving the gear! The team is very good, but almost too good. South is pretty good. Tristate looks like a mix of some decent West Chester/Ct kids and some weak kids from LI that couldn't make the LI team. Not sure how that happened, but I'm guessing they needed a certain number for ever roster. I'm not sure why New England didn't have a better showing considering it's in their backyard, but I'm thinking it may have been a situation like the other team and just grabbed whoever. All in all, you would expect an LI elite team to sweep, but hopefully they can get some more interest from other areas next year. I'll be back again next year though, provided he makes the team.

So that is the challenge and why you see the bigger rosters on the AA, because people feel that way and won't put their kid on a B team. People honestly feel that way, I have seen it. However, there are good 2nd team examples where 2nd team's are a lot better than a clubs 1st team. I would rather have my son on a big clubs 2nd team. Why? They can attract better talent in my opinion. But the risk is 2nd team neglect factor. However, the coach is the x factor.

In this 2022 age group, the only second team you want to be on is Igloo Aspen Extreme, they do the second team the right way, only enter in all A brackets for tournaments!

There is enough kids that Express, 9!, and others can do it. They just have to make the investment in it.
