Well said. There is a reason why the program directors put them in these weak tournament. Given that Ambush at the Purchase B level tournament had two one goal games against Outlaws Gold and GC 34 means they belong in the B tournaments and they are not ready to compete at an NLF tournament, NXT or even LAx...fest where they always play in the B bracket. They may beat an A team once in a while because they are a very good team but they can't beat A teams 75 percent of the time. They are well placed in these B tournaments. Also and more important the kids will not get better always playing at weak tournaments where they always win. They need to play in A tournaments even if they get blown out once in a while. But remember the directors need them to think they are better than they are and keep coming back. So they win tournaments and this creates delusional parents because they beat a good team every so often and win every tournament. At this stage like you said tournament wins means nothing. One thing I disagree with. They are better than B plus. They more like A minus team which is consistent with beating A teams once in a while and always winning B and C tournaments like they have so far this fall.

The same "ol" broken down coach for all these years drooling and whispering in parents ears how this team is going to be in the top 3 rankings in the country at this age , Turn style year in year out same song different players. Stop with the boasting your a solid B+ team and leave it at that. Ambush never plays top teams , always playing no name programs or weak teams from good programs.. Who really cares other then a few parents about having a label that your son plays on "a". Colleges do not care ! Its at the point how your son performs on the field individually . Let go of the PAL mentality !

Agree its the fall, also one can not go on last years teams. All teams had tryouts and some kids were cut and some were added. Was it a good start for Ambush, yes. Do they have to keep working at it. Yes as well. Out of Igloo Avalanche, Outlaws, etc, they are the best thus far. Yet to say that is pre mature as well. Let the talkers always talk and let the teams do what they do, which is practice and try hard
