Team 91s 2028 roster:

15 T91 kids returned

2-3 new kids accepted offers (HoCo Pink kids)

10 kids were brought over from Perry Hall Rec with 2 dad coaches

Added 2 more kids over the winter.

Just added a new starter from Predators last week, who scored most of their goals in scrimmages. So whoever thought your kid was going to be starting at attack because he did great all fall and winter.....whomp whomp.

Now has minimum 30 kids on roster, I think it's 32.

well no they are still gonna be better then kp and 91 still have there defense and there goalie and there attack so there still elite

Preds added 4 after try-outs who will not contribute at all. Gonna be some unhappy parents if the no shows at practice get playing time in games.

Teams that aren’t very good.

Bama kid is a FO guy. He's pretty good, just small. Cpuld grow into it. He won't replace current NL FOGO.

While the Preds 2027 and 2029 rosters seem to be coalescing very well (and parents seem pleased), 2028s are behind - coaching turnover, no established culture, and really no established expectations. Almost zero communication except from the brand new coaches over the past several weeks.

Nuts and bolts:

2 attackmen left after the fall tournament debacle. It's the one position the team is "heavy" at, so, OK.

1 pole (already on the team) moved to primarily LSM in November (they use an LSM frequently), so 2 LSMs total.

Added 2 big new poles in November: both fine on-ball but don't....yet......have the IQ or experience to help run the defense off-ball.

Added 2 new middies, not even scrimmage tested yet, so it's hard to know how good they will be. "Guess we'll find out"

Nobody cares about the Predators. Did not read.

Seriously. And why would someone post that? Poster clearly has a connection to the program/team but has a desire to put down the team by airing dirty laundry??

This is the stuff parents hear in the stands and come here, and elaborate on to put down competing clubs.
Like everything here, take it with a grain of salt.

Not as bad as the frequent 91 hater who submits post after post of false information about the makeup of the 91 roster. At least he appears to be sticking with his team as opposed to spreading false information about a team his kid is not on.

gee thanks, dad of one the kids who left but still wants to gossip about a team you committed to, but bailed from. really appreciate it and good luck at whatever new team you won't be satisfied with either.

Repeat. They lose their FOGO, they are AA. He’s a difference maker

Has anyone heard from their coaches re this weekends’ schedule? Seems very late in coming out. Last year wee had it Sunday prior

NL has added 6 kids since tryouts?

Who does that?[/quote]
If they ever lose their FOGO, they’re a AA team[/quote]


well no they are still gonna be better then kp and 91 still have there defense and there goalie and there attack so there still elite[/quote]

NL is nothing without their FOGO. They make so many mistakes, they are not a good team.

So now NL stinks? Aren’t they the only team to have beaten both hawks and Madlax?

No but why are you quoting that post to ask the question?

The board is weirder than normal today for sure.

Fight today at 300pm, Savage Mill parking lot.............. bloodthirsty NL hater vs weirdly salty Preds hater! hahahahaha

Preds self sabotage continues with the messy dad telling all the teams business.

Good job dad.

I think that deep dive into the Preds roster made everyone foolish for reading it.

One of the b team blue claws kids went to 91 too this week. Kid was too good for team but personally didn’t think they were elite level. AAA maybe.

It's prob the Preds dad who went from FCA White to Preds back to FCA White and over to 91. Poor kid. 95% of Preds parents are too rich to know what's going on.

It’s not him. I know who it is - but it’s not him.

[quote=Anonymous]One of the b team blue claws kids went to 91 too this week. Kid was too good for team but personally didn’t think they were elite level.

Is the former Preds player on 91 also the former Claws player on 91?

If not, I guess 91 has added 2 to the roster just this past week. Of which 1 outscored the rest of the 91 roster combined. Does that make 30, 31, or 32 rostered kids?

I’m not sure where he came from to claws but he was a late add. So probably a club hopper? Listen no judgement. We haven’t found our forever team, but I’d love to find out how these lads work. We have been trying to find a more solid A/AA opportunity for our son who is not a B level player. Parent error over the summer

False.

Just ask the coaches of the teams you think your kid should slot to talent wise. Some will invite him to practice and give him a look. Some will probably say see you in the summer at tryouts.

Did they get someone new as a fogo? Last year they were maybe the 4th best at the X. Although true and FCA kids were miles above the pack, NL was mediocre at best??? Didn’t they need to use a pole half the time?

Thanks, our older kids are dancers and horse riders.. this is all new for us.

From even before the first tryouts, Maryland Predators was full of (fake or real) anonymous PR and (definitely fake) controversy and sabotage from either just inside or just outside their group (maybe a St Pauls or McD coach who wasn't included?). It's been through this whole thread for almost a year. At other age groups too on BOTC. How tiring........and actually.......boring. The team is even more boring than the "Predators World Domination" trolling.

As an honest parent who has had both responses, this is good advice. Timing/opportunity is a real thing too. Make the introduction, and maybe they need a kid just for a 1-day tournament, a month from now. Easy way to see if the fit is there.

More like a chris farley routine in a quarterzip.

nobody should have to explain that however lame alabama youth lax may be, i'm sure they have 5 decent kids in the state, and I trust the likes of millon, king krab, and maddux to find them and invite them to fly north and play for free, funded by our sons club dues.

Thanks, we would love to guest play, but knowing my kid, sometimes he’s not his best off the jump. Getting better though thank goodness

Good take but let’s remember this kid is playing for NL. So we can add them to the foolishness.

True also has mastered the art of roster shenanigans so want to make sure they get included.

True is like the Scooby Doo Villains of illegal roster subs. In their first iteration in MD, they were DQ'ed from a tournament after being caught literally hiding a kid under table in a tent.

The fact that True, ML, and Nationals are embroiled in a federal lawsuit about illegal roster subs (and whether the resulting DQ from a tournament constituted racial discrimination) is *chef's kiss*

They’re mid level Elite. But without their FOGO, they’re AA

Week one schedule is out. Whose playing who?

Where are you seeing the schedule? I don't see anything on https://www.ghclacrosse.com/home yet.

ML vs Hawks Week 1
