Very nice! My kids have been on both sides. Losses build character. It's all good on the long run. Good luck and happy new year to everyone!

They've never played each other. Stop starting sh$t.

Yes you are probably right and bandits parents must be thrilled that they dropped a few thousand dollars to come and watch someone else's kid play that is not even on the team ! Within the rules..yes.....Right thing to do by the players and parents...absolutely not!!!!

I am flabbergasted. Don't you have anyone that wants to be with you on New Years Eve? You are in here crying instead about a guest player. Sheese.

Actually, the Bandits best player broke his arm a few weeks ago in practice. The guest player filled in for him. Not saying he wouldn't have played with them anyway, he probably would have, but he didn't take anyone else's playing time down there.

Here's something crazy. There are other kids on that team that would have loved to step up and fill the void then. Again, just took playing time away from one or 2 kids. That's the thing that bothers me. They deserved a chance.

So much for "next man up" on the roster

Did the guest player get a lot of minutes?

People enough already change the subject how teams use their players is the choice of the teams If you need to know some games he hardly played and some games he played To be honest our team was light numbers w 7 midfielders love how people on other teams try to reflect wisdom on other teams let alone a team that is tendously successful it was a great tournament and the weather was great Happy New year

Has igloo played smash or United

hello all you crazies and others, I am not a 2022 parent, I was down at [lacrosse]'s this weekend and came on here to read about 91 and Igloo because I know kids on both teams. IMHO there is no such thing as a *guest player* at a tournament like this, your team is the team you show up with. This is not a HS or college team using players from another school or PAL using kids from another town, schools and PAL have rules and rosters and using a "guest player" would be breaking a real rule. When you travel to Florida for a tournament your team is the kids that show up, FCA plays with kids that never meet until the first day of the tournament and will never play again as a team, same as Madlax National, West Coast Stars, 3D National and Sweetlax ect. I meet a kid from NC playing with a team from Canada because his dad was friends with the coach.

just my two cents

You people are nuts. Great kid great father doing great things together.

"The Kid", so we all remember, is just a kid. Insane talent as well. As a 2nd grader he was head and shoulders above his class. IIWII. Some kids are just better AND want it more. Deadly combo.

Deez nutz... 91 mini lax drones go down...see you later CSH dads...size matters, kids catch up. not even an igloo dad, but glad to see. hopefully the nonsense will now stop.

Think the goal all along w Bandits was to be challenged up not to be the best 2022 team. Yes I'm sure they are trying to win but that seems to be the purpose. Yes "the kid" played in FL and I'm sure made a large impact but didn't play vs Express 22 in a competitive game in November. Think they would rather compete against top 2022 teams than play 2023 teams. After watching them play on different occasions can see why they would prefer up. More interesting question is can ANY 2022 teams do what they do against 2021 teams such as 2021 black ice , 91'Blaze, or express. Not necessarily beat them but compete just thought it'd be good discussion

None can beat black ice, the other two are not in the same league and are beatable.

Always excuses, just not right period.

Says you. No one cares what you think. Jealous loser!

Top 2022 (only) LI teams
Express
United
Igloo
Smash
Outlaws

express dad your are on drugs !!! team is not as good as you think they are

Yellow Jackets over Smash

Express/Smash
Igloo
Outlaws
United(DNP)

You actually think your son's 2022 team can beat 91 Orange 2021 or Express A 2021? That is literally one of the most outrageous statements ever made on this board.

Express
Igloo
Smash
united (if they still exist)
Bandits
CSH
Port Washington
Northport
GC

Worry about the top three or four 2023 teams one of which just beat or played top 2022 teams to close games before you look at the top 2021 teams that have all beat the top 2020 teams except crush.

It would be a shame if united split up because they are a great team. The top two are Smash and United. These two are beatable but over many games they would prove to be the best. Express made changes so they should be in the mix maybe not top two but number three. Igloo will be in the mix too at four.

I agree it is crazy to rank 6th graders. It would be great to see tournament with 91 Smash, 91 United, Express, Igloo, Annapolis Hawks, Arden Diamondbacks and a few other true AA teams. If you had that tournament five times, good chance five different teams would win based on who wins face-offs and which goalie gets hot. That is what elite lacrosse should be at any age and how all of the kids will get better.

Why does one person keep putting United above Igloo? Where does that come from? The teams have played like 10 times with United winning once. Just wondering.

Everyone knows Smash is still on top. Teams are closing the gap. Smash wins 4 out of 5 games against any of the next top teams. This is a fact.

Smash is the worst 91 A team in the org

I am not a 91 parent but that was really a mean thing to say

It is happening this summer.

Why would 91 allow United to attend?

Igloo didn't play United "like" 10 times. Actually they only played once in the past year and I believe United won a close game. I wouldn't count when they were in 4th grade either. New team on both ends. Through common opponents I would have to say United would rank higher if that makes you happy.

It is mean. It's true though.

Best 2022 coaching staff?

When???

Last season PAL Northport beat Port Washington and CSH. Lost to GC.

Not a 91 parent, but I have always respected the coaches and kids on Smash. The Smash parents have not always carried themselves with the class their boys deserve. The boys are a very talented group. Let's enjoy the ride.
Big ups to Smash coaches and players for raising the bar on LI Lax 2022.
Smash, United, Igloo & Express all in the mix. Best thing is, all 4 teams compete at a high level inter-state.

Keep it real and spread positive.
