8 Teams First to Worst

Amazing! I can’t wait to see them play! What is your secret? Maybe after you go from 2-5 to the Championship you can write a book on how it’s done!

Don’t forget the fact that they have three tryouts during the season so your sons spot is never safe!

Last HoCo seasons 2026 B playoff cheating scandal was a good one as well!

If you participate in tournament run by Madlax and your team is a favorite, they will make sure to avoid playing you until the end so they can at least claim second place!

They have boys on their DMV team that are so bad they should be playing Rec but Madlax is happy to take your money so you can tell your friends your son plays Club Lacrosse!

So many great zingers. I could go in all day!

On the other hand, they have produced some great college talent like Joey Epstein so if your son is a true elite prospect it’s not a bad choice.

From Hogan Lax Web Site. Early teams to register for 2026 Spring Thaw

BBL
Dukes National
True Annapolis
Tribal SJ
Hawks

Great chance for True to make the case they are a top tier team. BBL always play great, ride hard and attack with speed and intelligence, Tribal is always tough. Heard the Hawks added some new pieces to the team and continued to dominate in the Fall. Not sure of Dukes, as it seems like the program is a bit in flux. Maybe BBL vs Hawks in final? What do you guys think.

"Last HoCo seasons 2026 B playoff cheating scandal was a good one as well!"

Please enlighten us with the details of this one

Next Level might have something to say about this!!

Excellent tournament there and i do believe it will be Hawks and BBL. True has some talent and I think they would be middle of the pack in HOCO Elite. Dukes Nationals is a show and a program that at one time was elite but now is simply a money grab.

Obviously a troll who is trying to stir the pot. FCA has a sold defense but little else based on what was seen in the Fall; I don't expect much to change moving forward just hope your son is not an opposing attackman. lol Watch out for Looney's this year......hint hint

You mean the team that lost to their own 2027 team in indoor?

hawks BBL is not interesting. played enough times last year to make that clear. BBL could not match up with laxachusetts and eclipse beat laxachusetts so it seems like eclipse hawks is the match up to see

If you are putting stock in anything that happens in Columbia Indoor then good luck.

The upside if he is an attackman playing FCA are all those sweet sweet man up goals. It's like Oprah playing them "you get a man up goal, you get a man up goal, reach under your seat, you all get a man up goal"

True will not be in Elite, 2026 parents are still somewhat new to HOCO. At the beginning of the year, the Crabs guy, Hawks guy, MM, BLC/DCE guys, ML guy, FCA Kelly's, Looney's GM (greasy mom) and NL dudes all jump on a conference call and agree that they and only they will allow teams in Elite. It is called the competition committee or how they market the club. True does not have ties to MIAA or IAC teams so sorry NO ELITE FOR YOU. The only real $$$ in the sport is getting these kids to drop 45K in tuition. They will be "recruiting" the 2026 class this spring

Would love to see Edge 2026 in a few tournaments with Hawks this year; they match up the best and have enough offensive talent to put 8+ on the board.

Because I don't know what did Next level do in AAA last year? Someone has to replace diamondbacks at this level.

Howard County decides plays at what level. This is totally made up nonsense. If it was true Crabs wouldn't have played in AAA in 2025 last year and instead of being locked out of elite.

Dont worry the 2026 Looney's team lost to a 2026/2027 rec squad at indoor

It’s been discussed here. Last year at HOCO in the A division...MadLax beat BLC in the playoffs to face Forest Hill in the finals, but MadLax then got disqualified and thrown out of the playoffs when it was discovered that they were using kids that were too old and not on the roster. So BLC moved on to the finals against Forest Hill instead.

True will be AAA. Next Level will be 8th team. We all know how Hoco works.

Spring Thaw is a Play Day. No bracket play.

good one BBL coach

Key word here, indoor. See you outside.

I actually hope that True does get put into Elite and gets their jerks handed to them.

Hold on, the all mighty looneys got handled by a younger rec team?

Actually, think they got the beat down three times in box, just pointing out the truth

Hey its indoor; wait until we get outside and remember Fall means NOTHING.........amazing how things are so easily discounted when a loss occurs. However these same parents would be pounding their chests had they won. Oh the hypocrisy.

We are not playing Elite. We are AAA at best..

Sorry but BBL lost to Laxachusetts..actually got pumped in the finals by them

Hawks run away with HOCO again this year; no one comes with 6 goals of this team!!! Ya'll need to pick up your game!!

No way hawks beat 91 by 6.... most improved team in HOCO. Best coaching, best goalie and best attack.

Well when you play down a grad year....

Hawks coaches said that last year as well... 🤔🤔

Looneys has best 2026 goalie... Not even debatable.

Hey eh Not a single Maryland hooser will come with on 6 of edge. A new mountie is in town We crushed your hawks

No on those last 3 points, no matter how many times you spout them off.
Most improved will be determined at the end of Spring. Good luck to all of the teams.

Does anyone know for sure when the HOCO Divisions will be announced? Thanks!!

I’m sorry, can you start over, maybe have your mom proofread this time?

Should’ve seen the 91 boys at charity event at coppermine last night. By far the standouts. #teamwork, #T91, #GilmanStrong, #2020 HOCO Chanps

Last year they came out on March 18th.

Cool story bro!

English please not Canadian, eh Doughhead

91 people can’t seriously be this obnoxious??? You people aren’t that notIntelligent to believe what MM is feeding you??
