Maybe 91 is the next team to fold.

Sure, that sounds entirely possible, the machine will grind to a halt!

Wishful thinking !

The Ducks are in no fear of folding. They keep it affordable and have a place for non Crush players to play.

Yep, they are catering to the other 90% and the realistic parents who are not lunatics. They're doing a pretty good job from what I can tell.

How's Stampede going? Has JS or BS shown up to help develop?
How's Hurricanes going?

Hurricanes folded because it was a bad situation. 91 had nothing to do with them. Running out of the HUB became prohibitively expensive and there were better options available at the price point. Stampede is still doing well in the 2022-2019 grades. Looking to expand to 2023 next year. They continue developing players into solid JV and Varsity contributors. FYI: JS and BS only work with the teams that they are coaching. Nowhere has it ever been implied that they would float between teams to work with all players. That's silly. Also, you're forgetting about Empire. And to answer your next question, yes, they are having success as well.

Typical corporate response. However, there's a lack of leadership and responsibility to the growth of the corporation. Empire parents are not too happy. Maybe you should look in the mirror and see the dilusion.

Empire parents are not too happy.

Kind of a blanket statement no?

More realistically there are both happy and disgruntled parents with Empire, just like every travel lacrosse program.

Find what works for your son and makes him happy and move on. To continue to criticize a club team you are not associated with is just weird.

BS is at the indoor training every week. kids are working hard and they get plenty of reps. You wouldn't know because you are just a troll with an ax to grind.

I would know because I haven't seen management involved at all!!! And by the way you are a troll.

Anyone have any experience with the Brine summer event? Who picks the team?

Any feedback on the recently added 2022/23 Brine Tryout? why it is just now being announced?

My son's PAL coach told us about it, and not his club director.

Anyone going to this tomorrow?

does anybody know if Brine will be making two teams (one each for 2022 & 2023) or will this be one combined teams for both calendar years? thanks in advance for any info.

No, don't show up if you're in 5th grade. The 6th graders will obviously make the team, unless you're a double hold back from MD..

An elite group of players meet other kids, train with a different set of coaches and compete in a game that they enjoy.

You may have a point - NOT. Love your negativity.

Do you think your son is going to be playing in a tournament with the Brine 2023 team? If so, enjoy your temporary bliss. If your son happens to beat out a 2022 kid at his position, that's great (but most quality players are not trying out), then you can fly him down to Florida in the middle of August to attend the Brine 3 day camp (probably won't be too hot, right?). So $85 for a tryout, $600 for airfare, $600 more for an average hotel and another $400 for the boy to go camp for a few days. Sounds awesome! Listen, I'm not trying to knock you down. I'm just trying to illustrate a point that most people don't know. There is no national team/tournament until 9th grade. This is a scam for the youth parents/players. But if you have the financial resource to do it, then I guess it's ok. I just want everyone to be informed.
