Results?

Heard the NJ team smoked both Igloo and Rebels

all igloo, rebels, and jersey games were competitive. jersey team def had players and were more physical. nice to see top teams willing to play each other. only way kids and teams get better is by playing and not there mommies and daddies posting about how good they are. good for these coaches for making it happen.

Igloo lost to Towermen by one goal. Rebels lost to Towermen by six. Rebels best Igloo by one goal. It was a great day for all three teams to scrimmage. Probably the best three teams on the Northeast.

If People are going to come on here and give information on results, please have respect to the kids and give correct information. I don't understand why losing by one goal is getting smoked. The Igloo vs. Towermen game was close ; a back and forth game and so was the Rebels vs. Igloo game. Great job by all three teams, probably the best three teams on the Northeast.

The best thing about the scrimmage this weekend is what makes Lacrosse a great sport, one more ground ball or one less dropped pass or one more clear, the results could have been different.

Thanks to all the coaches out there helping our boys and girls getting better everyday - KEEP GROWING THE GAME!!!!

i read thru this thread and parents talk about igloo and rebels falling apart and players leaving.

i was talking to a towermen parent who said they have to drive two hours out to long island because none of the jersey teams will play them. a couple weeks ago they played express. they even played a tourney where a team forfeited the final rather than play them. can u imagine. this is how hard it is to grow the game cause people like to talk about how good they are but not many actually want to prove it on the field.

i want my kid playing for coaches like igloo and rebels who arrange play dates like these and give there kids a chance to compete and improve. being a keyboard warrior doesnt help your kid get better at anything.

rankings mean nothing at this age but these three teams should be considered best in the northest cause they are willing to prove it on the field.

what happened to the rebels? missing their best player still? Best 3 in north east? That’s pushing it. lots of good teams.

The previous post is clearly from a troll and not worth engaging. It's disappointing when parents question the credibility of a program just to reassure themselves.

Towermen haven’t been relevant in NJ for years…nice try, Dad. Why doesn’t he drive to PA? They have a number of really strong 31 teams (Mesa, HHH, Duke’s Elite)

If those PAL teams are so good, they can prove it at NAL.

sounds like a sore lost!

We hear you, Igloo and Rebels haven’t been relevant on the island either. Both teams are in love with themselves. Neither team has a clue they @ChillLaxin. Just like last year they will get spanked in early June

Winners focus on winning. Losers focus on winners.

At this age group, who is relevant on the island then?

At some point 91 and Express will revamp this age group and the island but probably a couple years away. Rebels and Igloo are not good. They will get curb stomped at the NAL

At what point? You are absolutely delusional. Express and 91 are B teams

Igloo won the NAL in the fall by a landslide.

Igloo got hammered last year at the real NAL Get over yourself and your awful team. Barely beat express in the fall and they are @chillinlax..!! Igloo and Rebels are done Twins mom already looking elsewhere Igloo dad who keeps writing this stuff has also been on the phone with the express coach Don’t let him fool you Time for people to quit the charade

NO ONE is rushing to Express. No one!!
Express Chucks went 0-3 in the fall NAL.

No doubt they will both be dominant teams in the future. Only questions is will they have to pull studs from North Carolina, Florida etc. if the mass exodus from rebels and igloo doesn’t happen.

Tbh igloo and rebels don’t have much talent at this age. They have survived with a couple kids who were good at the younger ages. The development isn’t there so they haven’t gotten better. Same old story with both programs. It will become clear to the parents this year when they struggle in June.

Guess we will see on 5-11

Odds for 5-11 dropping next week I heard. Vegas is waiting to see if schedules get tweaked.

You guys are fighting over 5th graders that most of them aren’t even 5 foot tall yet.

That’s the issue! You think some local LI tourney at SB is the measuring stick. Rebels and Igloo parents pound their chests when their kid gets a t-shirt. June 3rd we will be back on here and we can see what the world thinks of you then. ML/NL/Crabs/Dukes/Hawks/SL will all have an opportunity to chime in. It won’t go well for you.

So what summer camps are we thinking for this year?

SPRING JAM ODDS
*disclaimer: odds subject to schedule change

A BRACKET (BLUE)
Stealth: -550 [3-0]
Armada: -110 [2-1]
Titans: +210 [1-2]
Chucks: +440 [0-3]
Exp East: +1200 [0-3]
Winter Soldiers: -450 [3-0]

FINALS PREDICTION: Winter Soldiers (4) vs Stealth (5)

B BRACKET (Yellow 1)
Exp Harto: +1100 [0-3]
Riot: -210 [3-0]
Warriors: -110 [2-1]
Radiers: +195 [1-2]

B Bracket (Yellow 2)
91 Select: +550 [1-2]
Arctic Wolves: +110 [3-0]
91 Empire: +480 [1-2]
Massapequa: +840 [0-3]

FINALS PREDICTION: Arctic Wolves (4) v Riot (8)

C BRACKET (OFF)
*not enough data to make a formal prediction
@ChillLaxin SHOOT: Express East Vs Express Meisse in finals end in Braveheart

We're doing St Anthony's...not sure about any others. Boy Scout camp is taking a chunk out of our summer!

Warriors would give the AA bracket a run. Good job on the odds rebels dad

Express Cucks over Stealth
Titans may not win a game
Riot wins out
Arctic Wolves win out

BLATANT PREDICTIONS:
Stealth 3-0
Igloo 3-0
Armada 2-1 * wildcard to go 3-0
Express East 1-2 (win over Titans)
Express 0-3
Titans 0-3

Why would 3-0 kids want to sign up with 0-3 squads of 91/Express? Winning has a quality of its own. Winning equals rankings, which equals scholarship offers.

Thanks 4’1” Rebels dad

You keep saying 0-3 of express. Did stealth not lose to express in the fall?

With adjustments result odds stand
The reference on results is based on us club lax rankings rating mark, not personal.
Even with skin in the game you should know where your son's team lands if you have been watching.
Could obviously change if additions were made since fall.

Have fun, our boys are growing fast.
