Are u kidding? Igloo has beaten United every time they have played with the exception of this past year's Shamrock Shootout. The one ref was so ridiculous in his calls I literally have never seen anything like it. United is way too good a team to count that as a win. They saw what was taking place. United is a very very good team. As of now, Igloo is better. Anything can happen this year.

By the way, they played 3 times last year, Halloween Havoc, Shamrock Shootout, and Lax Fest. Igloo won 2. They also played approximately 4 times the year before, with Igloo easily winning all 4. We will see what happens this year. Heard the United face off kid is gone. He was good.


Faceoff Kid is on his 3rd team in 3 years. My money is that he will be on his 4th next year. The kid is good but the father is a loon. My guess is Express. Once Chaney seems him play he will start making calls and stroke the father's ego.

You obviously have never played lacrosse nor know the rules of the game to make that statement. The ref missed every call that would benefit Igloo, and literally made up calls to benefit United. Again, United is too good a team to consider that a win. One day you will beat Igloo fairly. That was not the day. I'll give you that Igloo's coach's frustrations definetly led the ref to make additional bad calls. But please, United's coaches are some of the biggest tools out there.


Have to strongly disagree here. United coaches and players were all class each time we have played them.

The Express did not turnover, they completely upgraded every spot. Point is, I am sure everyone improved and the games should be competitive.

Express did not turnover - but they upgraded every spot ? Isnt that Turnover ? Bottom Line - Express is an "UNKNOWN" at this point.... SMASH will need to play in the 2022 Age Group if they don't then - lets not even include them in the conversation... if they keep winning in the 2021 group they are clearly the best.

Smash is at another level than all other 2022 teams. Even if United, Express & TLI combined their best players it still would not be challenge. Keep practicing!

They are very good at every postion. And they have superior coaching. Might take them some time to gel, and who cares if the teams of chest pumper parents beat them now and then. The team is on the right course and will be very good.

Who ever said Smash wasn't the best team? The team is the best 2022 team on LI, nobody disputes that. Feel better.

What makes you think they have superior coaching? I've seen a lot of MC teams play. Plenty of talent but they don't put it together on the field. MC is a great teacher of lacrosse. His style of play does not work well in game situations. You've been sold on him as a teacher, not a game winner. And there is a big difference between the two. You will see. I've had 3 kids play for him. His system just does not work. Again I will say that he is a GREAT teacher of lacrosse. Just don't expect to win any tournaments. This is not the express of old. There are more than five or so clubs to beat now.

You must be new to the express team. We know you added new players and MC is the coach now, but every other team has added players also. Some of your best players last year went to other teams. You have never beaten smash igloo or united. What makes you think you are the team to beat? A town team beat you last year. Concentrate on beating jesters and legacy before you worry about the big boys. Smash by far the best team and the te to beat.

I'm sure they look great in practice. Reality is , nothing proven in fall tournaments. No one cares and real athletes play multiple sports!

Good luck with rebuilding year!

Ok.. Thanks ! But if you are a SMASH parent you should lobby for your team to play in 2022 so you can truly say you are #1.

I agree with that, smash should start playing 2022. Prove themselves. Only beat united 6-4. United barely beat express. Igloo beat united. I really wish smash would play everyone routinely, I bet they'd lose a few. But that would ruin the mystique. Better to play 2021 "B" brackets.

Please stop. Smash has never lost to a 2022 Long Island team. They've lost once on grade ever and it was to a MD team two summers ago. Smash came back to beat that same team this past summer.

Maybe Smash could have played 2022 Igloo, Express, or United at Lax Fest but unfortunately those teams were too busy losing to the Manhasset town team. The same Manhasset team that Smash beat by 10+ goals in the final.

Please enjoy your own kids' teams instead of coming here to tear down a very good team of 10 year olds because they choose to challenge themselves by playing up.

I think the poster means as the teams get older the competition balances out. You can't really think Smash will continue to play up . The other 2022 teams will close the gap this year and even closer next. You must not think they will match the talent and success Crush has experienced. If so you are crazy. Not taking anything away from 10 year old boys but being honest

Question: what was the score the last time smash played united?
Like everyone is saying, the gap is closing rapidly. Don't panic, you had a nice run. Everyone will always remember how great that smash team was when everyone was 8-9-10 years old. Express added a lot of studs this year. This could be the year. United came close this year. This could be the year. Igloo always in the mix. There's been a lot of chatter about some other clubs also.

6-4. And before that it was 12-1. And TLI which was the hot team on these boards last year was 8-2 at NXT. I guess we'll see at Halloween Havoc. I hope these teams show up.

Not that I disagree, but just wondering why you think another team will not have the success that Crush has. What is it that Crush has that other teams will not be able to replicate? I do believe Smash to be a very good team. The more success you have, the more you attract better players. The closer to recruiting years, the more those players want on to be on THE team- no?

Crush has three or four absolutely dominant players that take over the game, never come off the field and account for 90%+ of the offensive production. They blow out everyone and never have close games against teams their own age. Smash has many close games and no dominant players that can take over a game. They're good for their age, the best around, but they can't carry Crush's jock.

Not a Crush parent but I would have to think a coach plays a big part. Like him or not JS is prob the best around. I've played against The Smash and they don't have players like Crush did two years ago. Sorry to burst your bubble. Se u at HH.

So Sal & co aren't good coaches? Get off! Smash has great coaching and players. My only issue is with the nutty parents on the sideline. Apart from the parents, 2022 91 Smash & United all class. Solid, classy coaches & kids. It's just a shame the parents don't get the memo.

Before we start comparing Smash to Crush or any other elite team Smash should try winning a tournament in Maryland. Smash barely wins tournaments while crush rolls through. Smash has lost games in their own age Crush never has
