And the final score?

It would be nice if the top four teams on Long Island could set up a weekend where the teams play each other two times over a weekend and then the top two teams play for the championship. Last year igloo set up a four way that included Express but Igloo will now avoid Express. Today was too close of a game for them to risk playing Express again voluntarily. Black ice only plays 20 to 25 games a year to avoid loses. All the other AA teams play almost double the number of games a year. Igloo has the field time to set something up. It would be great for all four teams. Doubtful it will happen after today.

igloo wins

I didn't know there were zip code restrictions for travel teams? As long as a player makes practices, it should not matter where they travel from.

FYI, i would also think all the kids were "out of state" since none of them reside in Maryland" dad

Did any out of state kids play for igloo today?

And the final score?

Did any Icon kids play for Express in that game?

You better get used to players from other teams playing for Express. No disrespect to Black Ice but they have no recruitment history. As these kids go into 8th and 9th grade and older Express, 91 and fl$ are going to keep getting stronger by the best kids going to those teams. Black Ice will loose players to these teams as well. The only reason kids want play for Black Ice now is because they are so much better than all the other teams. If they loose that dominance they will also loose top players.

Do other teams use "guest Players" borrowed from other teams in tournaments or is that just an Express phenomenon?

AA came out with a double LSM on the face and express ponied up 3-0 quick. AA's experimental Defense did not work and if he did not shift back to his normal Defense, Express would of ran the score up all day! Good try AA, next time Express will adjust and make it an even closer game.

Expressed crushed igloo for just about a half and then igloo's FO guys took control.

Unfortunately you need to play a full game to win and thats what Igloo did.

curios to see where your guest player will be playing in April ???

Both teams played a full game and competed hard to the very end. Clearly Igloo is immensely talented; this was obvious. Express is also very talented and plays with great intensity. These games come down to a few studs on both sides making plays. Express goalie was tremendous. Igloo close D was outstanding. The best player on the field and likely the entire tournament was the big Igloo middie from Manhasset who shoots the ball 100mph. He is the straw that stirs the drink on that team. Without him, Igloo does not win that game on that particular day. No excuses and the argument goes both ways I suppose. Bottom line it was a just a great game to watch.

Igloo will be extremely tough to beat this year. That team has incredible talent. Express can not compete with Igloo without the guest players.
