Go to Instagram 25/26 Champs.. But If it makes you feel better for losing then God Speed to ya.. .

Nobody cares about box....it’s simply viewed as winter training. If you love box do much move to Canada.....then you can pat yourself on the back more

does box make up for the fact the LI kids are not athletic enough and can't run on full field like the top teams?

What are we 14 year old girls? Go to instagram.....C'mon

I believe all of us on here act like 14 yr old girls by wasting our time with this BS. So I guess the answer to your questions is YES..

Yes the 24/25 bracket was listed as 24 champs on the NOTB site, But listed as 24/25 om Tourney Machine. So I guess the issue here is NOTB didn't do a good enough job of communicating to everyone the Brackets. A lot of inconsistencies.. So I don't think any teams should be considered cheaters just that NOTB does a bad job of running Tourneys.....

Agreed. It was completely the fault of NOTB. And instead of apologizing for the “miscommunication”, they blamed it on the coaches of participating teams. Flat out unprofessional.. They have another tourney coming up in Feb. We won’t be there.

My son goes to the Saturday box sessions there .....it is awful. Hasn’t learned a darn thing and it’s a sloppy mess. He won’t be going back next year.

You should try island box. Now that CoachL is back this year it HS been great. He is an amazing coach and the kids and parents absolutely love him.

Last year was rough at island box because he couldn’t make it in from Colorado liner Wh first year but he HS been fully engaged this year. Unfortunately he couldn’t be at the NOTB tourney because his field team was in a tourney in California.

Wasn't around last year, but is fully engaged this year.......then doesn't come to a tournament because he took his other organization to a different tournament. Yeah, that sounds fully engaged

You guys arguing over a notIntelligent winter box tournament could cure insomnia. Zzzzzzzzzzz

When do the NE teams get outside to start regular practices?

THIS^^^^^^^^

seeing some growth in kids from the summer- in size and speed. should help close the gap w hawks and laxachusetts type kids.

Assuming they don't add any bigger kids and there kids don't get bigger!!

didnt someone prove they are 9th grade holdbacks on here last year?

LOL

Any big improvements in the teams since the fall?

not unless 91 and express found some kids who are athletes...

Clearly you didnt see them both in the fall Maryland guy

or if the Hawks added more 7th graders to their team...

How would you even begin to gauge this? Scout their practices?
Or by improvement, you mean picked up a kid from another team. Which I'm assuming is your kid and you're praying someone will bring it up.

I attended the Nov Tournament in Delaware and watched one of the Hawks games. It looked like they added a few guys who are pretty big in their effort to keep ahead. Clearly appeared they added big/skilled kids at defense and attack. From what I saw in the game I saw they will be a handful with the depth and size they have.

Dear Maryland Dad,

I’m sure they make a medication for your condition. For your son’s sake.....please seek help.

Regards,

Every Other Lacrosse Parent

Ok Hawks dad...

Cmon!! Your back again!! The same guy who said he stayed a couple of hours after his son was done playing to watch hawks game!! Get a life hawks dad. Go back to the Maryland forum. How soon before the Tommynockers guy is back ?

☝ This isnt a Hawks dad. They didn't add anyone on D, big,medium or small.

If this is a Hawks dad, he was watching the wrong 2026 Hawks team this fall.

Island Box released schedule for tournament this weekend. Putting its own 2025/2026 team (which is 6th/7th grade) in a 5th/6th bracket. Maybe the bracket is mislabeled!! Cheaters

Didn't matter. They lost.

Are any LI teams playing in Princeton this weekend?

Playday with Express, Tigers and Primetime

Tigers Roll....

saw laxachusetts didnt fair too well in box tourney in MA. probably was an age limit...

who cares about scrimmages?

Let's see. Winter box tourney (meaningless). Entered 2 evenly weighted teams. 5th and 6th grade combined. Most kids playing hockey and other sports. One team came within 1 goal differential of making final.

Don't you worry pal...the 2026 team will be just fine this summer. Enjoy playing for 2nd place.

It's called playing good competition Instead of winning a t shirt in your weak butt 91 tournaments. If I remember correctly in the fall the 91 2026 orange got bounced before even sniffing the finals .....at least express was still standing at the end playing in the final against the tigers which are one of the best teams in the age group ..." Who cares about scrimmages " lol, typical 91 dad, if they can't win a t shirt in their weak tournaments that they control then nothing else matters hahaha

I dont think Ive seen Express and Finals mentioned in the same sentence last year

Let's hear where everyone has the top 10 teams.

hawks, sweetlax, tiger, edge, expresshogan, bbl, LXC, 91li, eclipse, blc
