BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2026-7th Grade Fall 2020/Summer 2021

Mostly same kids that beat Primetime and Express last year. Added some kids. Shut down of COVID and never really restarted. In all serious it's baffling.
And LI is a small lax community, and everyone knows everyone. I know for a fact that all the kids on Express are age eligible for the WSYL, that's why CoachC built/ poached that team, to win it. As soon as they were able they were practicing 5x a week while Legacy/91 were still shut down and only had 1 practice before their first tourney. Express took top kids from the other LI programs, but they were practicing and playing, so who can blame them for leaving.

Chan is the top team. Wieczorek is the 2nd team (who was in NJ Sunday). There is also a 3rd team that he coaches. The 3rd team (with a few kids from 2nd team) is who played at Nickerson on Saturday.

Correct

Sorry sweetlax daddy you are out of your league. LIE will own you forever now.

Coach C put together a very good team for sure. I am curious why so many kids would stay and sit on the sidelines though. I watched 2 of their games this weekend and it seemed that they only played MAYBE 18 of the kids in each game. I counted 29 on the sideline. Is it to just say “I’m on the best team”? I’m sure the kids not playing are very good also but to stay and not ever play seems like a waste to me.

As a Roar dad who doesn't have a stick in this battle the following have a chance to win the WSYL (all depending how many kids are holdbacks or not): ExpressC, Sweet Lax, Tigers, Prime Time and BBL. Express moves ball good but there are better athletes on the others.

On Saturday evening a parent and sibling of an Igloo player tested positive for COVID. The Igloo 2026 player tested NEGATIVE. Igloo immediately informed Tristar and while no other players were in close contact with a positive person per CDC guidelines, they determined the only choice for the safety of all players/participants of the tournament was to pull out.

Sooooo, the Hawks don't have a chance??? Only one of the above teams has beaten them and it was the Tigers by 1 in OT.

To the dad who's kid is not on the team but watching the express games and counting players as well as playing time .....GET A LIFE.

And to the roar dad ....was there a point in your post . Saying the other teams that face express have better athletes. Express beat every single team you mentioned and simply overpowered most of them . Not sure what your post means but again , another guy not on any of the mentioned teams analyzing express lol....GET A LIFE

Didnt the Tigers just tie NJ Express?? Never heard of them

For the youth lacrosse analyst dads on here ......express beat the tigers 10-1 recently .

Sure sounds like you’re the parent of one of the kids not playing and watching from the sideline. Enjoy the ride.

How is the Sweetlax NY goalie? They cant use the Florida goalie for WSYL.

Like someone from Sweet Lax posted prior to the weekend...tournaments are what matters, play days don't count. The 9-8 win vs Express this summer at Darien HS meant nothing, only pay attention to the result from Tristar.

Tigers clearly on the decline. Express clearly improved.

He was very good, he scored their first goal a minute into the game.

Dude....you literally count players on other teams that your son is not on and have something to say about kids playing on other teams . You have issues . Try a hobby or maybe medication.

Hahahaha, this guy literally goes to watch other teams and counts kids and who does/does not play? Wow, what is this world coming to. So sad .

Are you sure that wasnt the Florida kid?

There are some parents on express(and other top teams) who feel like practicing with a top team is super beneficial, even if they receive very little or no real game time. Seems crazy to most of us. But if they choose to do it. Who cares

I admit I get a kick out of the banter. But counting not only just the kids on the sidelines but how many get in the game is very creepy.

This is not an Express dad talking here just someone trying to stir the pot. Considering tigers 3-1 against us (time before tigers won 11-1), yeah the play day win felt good but we haven't beaten them in a tournament yet. We watched them after their prime time win and they had sweeetlax on ropes early and later without their goalie & injured kids. Express ain't taking them lightly.

Maybe it is the guy at Tristar whos team was not playing and was filming the other teams & comments a lot on here? No judging but.....

Why is nobody talking about 2way?

#1 Express, #2 Hawks, #3 Sweetlax, #4 Eclipse, #5 Towerman, #6 Tiger, #7 Laxachussets, #8 Prime Time, #9 BBL, #10 Looneys, #11 Crabs/Team 91 MD. Read em and weap

What's to talk about? They obviously use older players and they still got CRUSHED by Express and Sweetlax. There is nothing to talk about.

My son played against Express this weekend. I didn't count the players on the sideline but I would agree that there are a ton of them. I would also agree that there is definitely a benefit to practicing with players of that caliber. If they're not playing in the games and are fine with it then that's on them.

Sounds like a weird creeper dad. Might know the kids shoe sizes too

Not that it really matters, but MD 91 is not even a top 25 team at this point.

Maybe beat the Hawks before you rank yourself ahead of them.

What is your logic of dropping Hawks to #2 when all they have done is win every tournament this summer? Doesn’t your LIE team need to beat the Hawks to claim they are the best team? Not affiliated with LIE or Hawks, just saying....

You might be close with these rankings but 91 has looked really bad . It sure they are even in the top 20 anymore . And agree with the person here , express has tk beat the Hawks before you can rank them #1. That hasn't happened yet .

Agreed. My son plays for Towermen and we played both at NAL. We beat the Tigers by 2-3 and got blown out by the Hawks. I was surprised that the Tigers beat the Hawks. According to this forum, that is their only loss to any of the teams you listed.

...or Hawks need to beat LIE

Has Express ever beat the Hawks...Ever

Do you remember the time we came to LI and left 4 of your kids with ice packs sitting on the bench? Do you remember coming to Delaware and both Express and Express North got beat soundly. Hawks havent lost to a team from LI

PT crushed TM this summer. TM would be lucky to be top 30 & no chance top 10!

No

Don't worry. This was posted by an Express dad just to poke the Hawks dads.

Oh we remember the dirty play. See you soon if you stop ducking good tournaments vs tier c teams.
