91 Hornets, what happened to that team?

So where in the rules does it allow that? Or how were the teans advised of this allowance?

. How can they enforce when Chan’s team has a non age eligible 2024 playing too? A joke!

Still think its gonna be a disaster?

They looked like they had completely different roster vs last year’s team.

Probably. Most people have probably bailed. Those B team rosters turn over constantly. People get tired of paying for nothing from the big organisations.

Who or why would someone pay $3,500 to be on the Hornets? It’s a bad investment

These B teams should all be less than $2k.... especially Hornets since they only enter their own tournaments

The problem is some B team families are 100% committed and some aren’t. And people go searching for more serious situations.

That Hornets is not good. They had match ups today that they should have been competitive with and went 0-3.

Going to organisations where they have A and B teams, where you are on the B team is a mistake. 99% of the time the second team is not good.
Go to a different club team where their top team happens to be a B team or low A team. It will be much better.

So is Outlaws and Force.

Teams posted for the North American Lacrosse Tournament, looks like some good competition!! 91 deciding to show up, wonder what studs from WolfPack will be joining them.

Force nowhere close to $3500. Maybe for 2 kids. LOL

Force is $2200

Did they win something that I missed?

Unfortunately B teams that don’t win have a tough time retaining the roster year over year.

Force has 2 teams. Im assuming you are talking about the B team.

Absolutely and this weekend confirmed it. Typical Express, they gave themselves the easiest possible schedule since it was their own tournament. They even changed their third game at the 11th hour to play a weaker team. They also brought in multiple players from other "A" organizations even though they had more than enough players. These players were on the field the whole time while the kids who are actually on the team and pay tuition are standing on the sidelines. "B" teams are for development, where kids who were standing on the sidelines of "A" teams go to actually play in the game. So yeah, it's a disaster.

Can we get a separate page for B teams? Nobody cares.

Looking at Tourney Machine looks like they went 3-1. A disaster? If they went 1-3 it's a different story.

if you're a good athlete OR you have good stick skills, you can usually make your way onto an A team. if you don't have either yet, you end up on a B team. it's a great place for players new to the sport or waiting to develop physically. by high school you will catch up to everyone else if you put in the effort. have fun, make new friends and don't worry about it.

Couple comments from the Tri State Tourney;
Total BS all the teams weren't notified the tourney was an age based tournament. This has to change for the better of the game.
CoachC winning the Championship (week bracket) but at this point, who cares!
Notable wins:
Force beating Regulators
Express North beating Rush
Regulators beating Express North
Rush ALMOST beating Primetime.

Whats notable is ALL the teams there, except CoachC, are on the same page. Force beat Regulators and then lost to Rebels. PARITY. Now the clubs see what they have to work with over the winter.

yawn emoji here

nobody cares about the results of the games, except them maybe. the disaster is the way they conduct themselves. you can go ahead and reread the above post now. nothing about wins and losses is mentioned.

Which non disaster does your son play for?

Sorry I left out Rebels beating Force by a goal.

BTW, I just heard Regulators and Force were the only teams without 2024's on their rosters. Is that true?

"You play to win the game" Herm Edwards 3:16

Regulators has no 2024s. There are 2 2026 players.

Did you just quote Herm Edwards?! LOLOLOL

They had '23's Does it really matter? Did you see the size of some of these kids? Maybe they should steriod test the milk?

Regulators lost game to Force in the last minute and then beat Express North. New team playing at their first tournament. They should come together nicely.

Beating a newly formed Rebels B team, Outlaws and Force B team is nothing to write home about

I'm guessing the only reason Rebels beat Force was because they had 2024's on their team.

Literally nothing in this post is accurate. Anyone who believes that something like that could happen is just making excuses that their team lost. This is almost comical, except that there actually may be someone new to the sport that believes this imbecile.

Express does this all the time. IT is a Fact.. You must work for EXPRESS

Rebels team scored 7 goals in 3 games, despite being bolstered by a few 2024s. Take out those add-ons, and you get the same picture of that team as you saw last year: nothing to get excited about. GoldRush looks promising, Regulators are spunky. From the last 14 days of tournaments, it looks like

1. Express, and it's not even close

2. Prime Time
3. R$SH GoldRush

4-9 Force, Regulators, Rebels, Igloo, Legacy, S2S - depending on who's doing what that day

Team 91, built on defections from other teams, is afraid of karma coming back and biting it in the rear end, so they've avoided playing anyone this fall to make sure nervous parents don't jump ship by Christmas. Pretty lame. Here's to rooting for R$SH GoldRush, Force, Rebels, Legacy, Igloo, CSH anyone really, beating them. The panic will be enjoyable to watch.

With the exception of 1 team (Chan-eee-chuck), all of these teams all look a like but have different smells. "They are who we thought they were".....

Each team has some positives and some negatives and they all have a lot of work to do..

There a 2 or 3 kids on that team that should run for the hills and get themselves on stronger teams.

This team is all new with the exception of 2-3 kids. They have been together for a total of 5 weeks. Start writing home.
