All the clubs adding reclass private school kids now. Pathetic. Look at all the red Lawrenceville helmets now on S2S at 2024. Going to happen now at 2025 and 2026 level. And all the loyal players who played with the club for the past 5 years get pushed aside.

Igloo changed their coach. Penguin hung them out to dry and now they are looking better. Coincidence? I'm sure the 30 kids who got scammed over the last few years will be so happy to hear that.

Yes the National Shock Team did well. The out of state players were all on LI for the Columbus Day holiday. New attackman from Boys Latin was the best player on the field period. Total rockstar. Outshined everyone on Shock and other teams. Wonder if they can keep him. 91 won with their solid D. No question about it. Nah. D is ok but the real star back there is the goalie from Culver Academy.

Ok Goalie dad, but last I looked, Goalie was part of the D.

Next year they’ll be touting their commits from a bunch of colleges that nobody ever heard of. Igloo=who cares. Not one difference make came out of that program.

Taken from Quint Kessinich;
Why are club coaches more involved with the recruiting process than high school coaches? Club coaches only spend a few hours a week with prospects at practice and then at tournaments. Meanwhile, a high school coach can provide a much better holistic view on how the prospect behaves and handles school, competes in other sports, and how he interacts with his high school teammates. High school intel will always trump the club coaches lacrosse-only opinion.

So this summer will be interesting when the legit A team players are losing exposure minutes to B team players on the A team roster. For big showcase events they should only roster 22 kids. And then roster the other kids at other events.

Stop with that. "Losing exposure" If a kid needs that much exposure, guess what? Yeah, I dont even have to say it. Get a life

Express was always a small team but very skilled and unselfish. They’re still small but now mediocre and selfish. Added a few bigger kids but not athletic, too slow and clunky. They should go back to the original model.

Express is struggling because a few of their top 2025 players were forced by parents to be re-classed to 2026( held back left back. Whatever you want to call it. In the eyes of express parents. If your son is a good player, They can be a great player by holding him back. The holdback epidemic is getting out of control What are parents demonstrating to their sons. Money affords you the edge and loop holes to get ahead in life. Very sad indeed

Ok, after this weekend, this ranking was sort of accurate. Hornets have dropped A LOT though, now way they are #3. Turtles was respectable, Express didnt play and Redhawks was ok against BAD teams.

Express is struggling because 1. Puberty Parity: The other 95% of the kids caught up 2. Inconsistent coaching (3 coaches in 3 yrs) and 3. Replacing players with "Me first" kids.... Thats a bad equation no matter how you slice it.

They're all bad teams, if they were any good they wouldn't be on a B team. It's like saying who is the best of the worst? It doesn't even make sense. Turtles kept saying they want to be an A team, clearly they are not. Which is fine, accept what you are and enjoy your last year of lacrosse. It's okay, just parents getting in the way of the kids having fun.

I cant agree with that. Redhawks looked ok, for what they are. Turtles not bad. Again, Express ghosted this tourney but they are decent too. 91 was horrible

I thought Hornets looked ok but played flat. Apparently they have a lot of new players so I'm sure they'll be fine. Turtles were impressive.

Couldn't agree more with Express adding "me first" kids. Unselfish players/families are rarely changing teams this late in the game. These people are looking for what's good for them and only them.

Totally forgot about Regulators, they have a few good players but will be irrelevant soon. I'm surprised they were going to do that tournament given the lack of competition.

It's a side project for CSH kids, not a bad idea but if they can't get enough kids that's a bad look. Curious, don't tourneys make you pay entry fees up front?

Other age groups in CSH not strong enough. Best players are from outside of CSH.

They dropped out when the pool came out and competition was very weak. The tournament advertised A and B bracket. When you sign up for A and they only offer a B, one could assume that fees are returned or credit is given. For an irrelevant town team some people pay an awful lot of attention to Regulators on this forum.

I dont get the whole A , B, C nonsense. At this point it is about playing. I know B teams that would beat Regulators "A" You would think they would want to play just to play. But the risk is too great if you lose to a "B" team

That right there is a losers comment folks! Not playing is not worthwhile?..... That's so ridiculous Its always worth playing the game if you love it. I guess practice isnt worthwhile either? That's the problem: Most everyone is involved with Travel for the wrong reasons.
Dont clubs pay for these tourneys? So your telling me the tourney host refunded them because their tourney was "weak" ? You should be a politician.

Tourney host refunds when they offer two brackets and only have enough teams to have one, which is clearly not the one signed up for. No politics needed.

All star team? More like Dad wants his son to be an all star and makes a team to feature his kid and other boys who are good but not great players. A star shaped badge on the jersey doesn’t make an all star.

There are a few kids on the team who could absolutely play but then it drops off a cliff to kids in town who are the coaches kids friends. They do equal play time for all. The coaches kids are very average players but still get named on the lists. I guess its who you know.
