Disagree. The difference in the game was the 6'4 FOGO with the full beard that the announcers didn't have his name because he wasn't on the roster submitted to the tournament. 91MD won almost every faceoff all weekend. Thought Crabs defense played fantastic considering 91MD had the ball so much.

Best players on the team yesterday were from out of town. While the ball goes through one person constantly, as you said he had no goals or assists.

IGLOO spanked 91 maryland last time they played if invited would have won nlf easily

I would be willing to bet that 6'4 FOGO from TX was the kid from Stick Star Select in Dallas. My son's team played them earlier this summer at CrabFeast and he was literally a grown man amongst boys.

Millon is willing to add whomever to win a stupid summer tournament.

Roughriders were invited. In fact, PA Roughriders won one of the A divisions. FCA chooses not to play after June. Same reason they don't play in the 2022 Millon tournaments.

Without question this weekend was the best collection of teams all summer.

So what is final ranking for the summer?

91 Smash , 91 MD , NY Express , Hawks , RR , Crabs , FCA , Igloo , HHH , Primetime

6’4” FOGO? You’re just stupid. He’s 6’1”. He’s playing the appropriate grade level. He’s been on the roster since tryouts last August and prior years. Completely legit. ALL of these teams have rostered players from other states. It’s the nature of the game, like it or not. They have played in all summer tournaments. Not like they added anyone for this one. Just give the kids credit. They beat every team put in front of them. And saying they don’t have local talent is not fair. I’d love to see you find a better defense than they have. ALL MD kids. 100%. Best defense you’ll find. Solid offensive talent as well. Go find something better to do than bash young kids. Congrats to Team 91 MD for being the best team in the country at the end of the summer season.

If you look at the teams that are listed they are real good. How many played with the same roster all year?
How many added players from spring league to summer league(MD parent not sure how Philly or long Island league works). I have a novel I deal what if someone developed a league were we play more individual games/showcase events and really have a league. I think teams would travel if they new they were going to any of these places and you played 2 game on Sat and 2 on Sunday and then went home. This takes all of the extra tournaments out of the mix. Take 5 tournaments and make they points/ranking events? You could do (1) in April (1) in May (2) in June and (1) in July and at the end of all of these you could say these 10/20 teams qualify for a National Championship tournament to be played in mid July. Not a hard thing to do it would just take someone who knows what they are doing and has the back end to help support it. For the high school division you could do the same thing you would just have to make it more condensed. You could also hold regional tournaments and winners or top finisher would qualify for the national tournaments and you would have to do all of these with 1 roster that is NOT interchangeable.

Call me crazy but this works in almost all other youth sports

All teams have until next year to prove who is top 2022 team and best in country.

This year it is MM and his Team 9 1 MD

Alright, enough BS. Let’s move on. Let’s agree that each parent and kid needs to be happy with their own situation. What’s important to some is not important to others. Find what’s right for your son and your family and roll with it. If that involves staying where you are to chase Team 91 MD or going elsewhere to chase Team 91 MD, good luck next year. #Team91NationalChamps!

The 91 MD kids should start going to Texas. Millon could learn a thing or two from whoever is coaching those kids.

The all MD defense is very good. But didn't they only win 1 game in HOCO this year with that defense?

Hawks added kids this summer and every summer. Kids from Florida join the team.

C’mon. They have one kid from FL that has been on the roster for 3 years. They have 5-6 holdbacks which is the norm for all elite MD clubs. However they don’t fly in kids from TX, NC, NY, etc to supplement their teams for summer tournaments to say they elite when the Hoco standings show how good the team really is.
