Legacy dad!

5-1 loss
Lots of unhappy cyclones not seeing the field

How many kids not see the field for the Cyclones ? 5 or 10. Did daddy kids come off the field?

The Blantant Spring Jam in Stony Brook was interesting this past weekend.

91 Cyclones lost to 91 Colorado team twice. Second time 5-1 in Championship game.

Igloo Black Ice beat 91 Colorado team in a tight game. Supposedly the first loss for that Colorado team in 2 yrs

Cyclones continues to beat Igloo Black Ice every time they play.

S2S and Aces were completely out matched and didn’t belong in division. They are not AA teamsHKaz

Maybe 91 Colorado saved their best kids for the championship and played some kids that don’t always get as much time against Igloo. Were they projected to make it to the championship when they played Igloo ??

91 Colorado coaches played all their players which shows that they care about all the players, not just 13 of them. Cyclone coaches should take note.

Colorado was a big fast team

They had a lot of big poles and middies

Cyclones doesn’t had much size , though very skilled
They will have tough time with out of state teams

I’m sure they will add more kids this year

Colorado team was average age of 18 years old

Where are kids being added from for the 7th grade? Aren't teams already set?

Cyclones got MAN-handled! Clear Colorado came with a purpose and a few extra young men! It will be interesting if those same kids play 2028 for the NLF or 2030.

They are probably going to lose some kids because of PT.

That is the biggest farce... I'm sure the goalie mom on Colorado wouldn't agree! Number 3 never left the game, despite the fact he had 8th-grade regents exams this week.

Cyclones lost 2x to Colorado, not just in the championship. I wish those cyclones parents would stop making excuses. They weren’t that big but that obviously makes you feel better. Black Ice beat that Colorado team. Cyclones beat Black Ice. Some matchups work better for different teams.

91 and express pulling away from pack. Rest of long island field about to see some big changes.

Igloo despite a bad game to 91 looked really good. Strong off ball movement and quick dodges up top. Coaching has really put this team in the elite category

Funny how it unfolds same way every cycle. Can see the shift and how next fall will he a whole new pecking order. At least there are a number of options for all kids across all levels at this age.

There are not all new options. The reality for Long Island is there are 4 options for elite team in the 2030 year
1 Cyclones
2-3 Black Ice or Legacy
4 Express
Everyone is a significant step below

You guys remember the annoying Rebels parents (and directors) that sued to come on here and rant about their 2030 Aces?! They’d play anyone, any time, any place?
Their silence is deafening Lolol

Ha! That is funny Younger Rebels teams will learn the same soon enough

91, Igloo, Legacy, Express, should be destinations for top kids. After those, Shore, Rebels, Moose, then the B teams of those above. If looking for a lax team for training purposes, Turtles, but not serious yet, maybe LI Jesters, but not that serious and , more of a town team. Most top end talent will merge to first batch as they get close to World Series.

Top destination ????

If you don’t want to see the field maybe
Cyclones and express have their guys

They will keep adding kids and letting them sit on the bench and play 2 mins a game.

You should really be more focused on training
Not winning 6th grade tournaments

Express has 0 indoor winter training and still
Charged top $$$$

“Destination for top kids”, yes if they don’t develop on those teams and put the work in on their own, they will likely be replaced.

NLF and NAL schedules are posted
