Sorry for the confusion. Not really interested in either. Those are just the teams people are always complaining about. Sore winners AND sore losers. That's not a combo you see every day.

Igloo v Bandits in 2023 Final this weekend.

Igloo v Bandits in 2023 Final this weekend.

You guys realize that Igloo and Bandits are in the same bracket, right? Only one of them will make the final. Bandits will beat everyone there by 10+. S2S has proven that they are nothing over the last two weeks. Please stop that nonsense.

I thought that the HB's only lost 2 players from last year. Why such a drop off? Are the other kids catching up? Is it coaching? I realized that we are talking about 10-11-12 year olds, but it seems like they may have fallen off a cliff.

They are a very far #2 and only because they beat igloo, STS and Warriors. They only beat them by a 2/3 goals which really sats, anyone of those teams can claim the 2 spot after beating another. Being #2 on long island means jack $&@& at this age, alot of good clubs from other states. Bandits can claim #1 in country at this grade. Badgers can't claim anything but slowly going backward.

They are still one of the best teams in the age group, don't let all of this talk fool you. They are the #2 team on LI behind the Bandits; unless Igloo brings their 2022's to play which seems to be about 50% of the time. As more kids start playing travel, which, in recent years, has been 4th grade, the other teams just got better. That's a good thing! Having 6-7 very competitive teams makes everyone on them better. And those rosters will all change in the next few years. Losing or gaining 1-2 kids every year can make a huge difference in a team.

Is BM still coaching anywhere?

AJH held onto kids longer than he should have. Everyone knows that. There will be big roster turnover at the HBs. Parents are seeing that being great in 3rd grade means nothing now. Good luck with tryouts but don't worry so much about your kid dropping off. Good news is lots of decent competitive teams so everyone will have a place to spend lots of $$.

Igloo has never brought 2022 to a 2023 grade based tournament. I'm the team manager and they don't have any players on this team who are in 6th grade currently. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Never brought a 2022 to a 2023 game. Unless you count every single game last year in which the starting attackman on the 2023 was a 2022. Forgive us if we don't believe a word you say when it comes to cheating with older players. You have no integrity and no credibility.

Everyone knows this. Zero respect for the organization, even from within. That's why you see so many Igloo helmets at tryouts.

"If there is zero respect from within why is there so many helmets at tryout?" I don't get what you are stating.

Rediculous statement most likely coming from a parent who's son either was cut or decided to move to STS....The coaching is the best I have come across in either PAL or travel. Take your jealousy and anger and channel it into practicing with your son...

Wow, Igloo coaching is better than PAL. Let me write my $4000 check now!

The Igloo program has been shrouded in conflict and deception across most of its age group, 2023 notwithstanding, for years. They rarely have continuity year to year because so many players jump ship for more reputable programs. This team will be no different. The earlier post was likely referring to the amount of Igloo players trying out for other 2023 teams. My son tried out for three different teams and I can personally confirm that statement. There were more Igloo players at tryouts than any other club. That is a telling sign of a club.

Bandits have taken 3 new kids in the past three years. Doubt they'll take three igloo kids. Besides they don't look like they need much help.

Nice try trying to shake up the igloo team but the team parents and players are very happy with the organization and the coaching. The Bashers are parents of kids on the sinking ships hoping some spots will open up on igloo next year. The bail out buckets are already out and all the unhappy parents are already talking about fall tryouts!

Wow! Your son tried out for 3 different teams. That is a very telling sign ....Either he needs some work or you are just one of those parents that are miserable wherever they go...Once again, get outside and practice with your kid....it might help with his play and your anger issues... Igloo 2023 is fine.... no drama, or deceit as you put it. In fact, we will all be laughing at this post at our team barbecue tomorrow night....In the future don't be so concerned with an organization that you are not a part of . Also , just to correct you $3000 all in...Try to relax and enjoy your summer! Sounds like you will have a lot of tryouts to attend

I don't think anywhere. I saw him on the parent sideline during Bandit vs Badger game this past weekend. His head shaken side to side in disbelief as he watched the team he built get crushed by our team. Lol
