Seriously, no surprises this weekend. Nobody is beating the top 2 teams, it's them and everyone else. See you in DC

Igloo schedule was pretty embarassing. Now the question is do you want to go to DC and be everyone's punching bag? Because you aint playin the PAL teams you did over the weekend. Then again, maybe they will as they need about a dozen from the North to fill out their lousy tournament.

You are a lonely man. You're saying 91 cares so much about winning this title for the 3rd year in a row that they are bringing ineligible players regardless of the proof required? That's an amazing leap but whatever lets you sleep at night. I feel for your son. I get the whole hold-back convo and that annoyance but you have reached a new low......and whoever said the WP goalie is quiet has never seen him play or on the sidelines. Great kid. Great goalie. Def not quiet. For those of you finding excuses, your team just wasn’t good enough. Nothing wrong with that. Adjust your expectations and let Johnnie play. For the guy who thinks that teams are using fake birth certificates and bringing in extra players under the cover of darkness, grow up. You stink and your kid is probably even worse. Must detest it when the other kids try to take the ball from him. After all, it isn't fair, they didn't let him try something. No trophy for you!

Still really bad look for tourney organizers. They played 2 of the 3 worst teams, minus the shiny Red helmets. Igloo Didnt play one real program Day 1. Even the brackets were lopsided. But if thats a "win" then so be it. It just goes to show the whole thing is a joke and anyone that says different has their head in the sand. Good for the kids but it should be taken at face value only.

Same old story. CoachC wins again, everyone complains, not fair, cheating, not on age, holdbacks. Clearly LIE doing something right. Every program is chasing them, get over it.

What was said was there is no one checking in at the facility , so you could walk right onto a field there and be 2 years older and nobody is checking . And 91 did just that with their 2025 team . That team was brutal in the fall and all of a sudden 3 tremendous players pop up for the tournament. Lol. And I couldn't care less about the wsyl,you clearly do spewing years of history .cheaters gonna cheat that's just the way it is and then the wsyl directors wonder why it's dying and nobody cares about it . It's because it's poorly run with cheatera running rampant . Register with the correct names /birth certificates then bring other players and nobody checks. That's the way to do it hooray for your plaque

Good for the deserving teams, good for the parents of those programs. But do the other teams and parents feel their kid's club is good enough to compete with teams outside of LI, vs clubs that will punish 91 & Exp as well? Some teams that played shouldnt have been there and it was evident. They wasted their money. But that is probably what the parents wanted. And dont tell me about the experience. Driving 5 hrs to be eliminated in 2 hrs and play "consolation games" in a rain storm the next day? Doesnt sound like an enticing experience to me. Should have spent that $ getting your kid's more even competition locally.

There seems to be a huge gap now in tournaments. B and C teams play in tournaments they have no chance of winning or even being competitive in. Used to be plenty of reasonable tournaments, clubs and talent to go around. Now the top programs take 30 or more kids and tournaments are mega events. None of this is good for the development of young athletes, but hey what do I know. Everyone else seems willing to pay, travel and chase the top programs in hope of one day making it.

GI was one of the worst there. There were a few really bad clubs. There were about 6 teams that were exceptionally bad that ended up beating on each other during a meaningless day 2.. Bottom line: Any of the lower echelon teams could have had "easier" schedule but it don't matter because they can't beat the better teams like 91, Exp, etc, etc

Was a coach there this weekend. No one from world series checked our roster, no one from world series even looking at our games. Just a nice money grab, there is no integrity at this event anymore what a shame. The selection process is insanely flawed. They need a tri-state format for seeding, bc some of these cake walks just hurts a lot of these other clubs.

Why do you think igloo isn't part of the NLF anymore ? Becauae they called out 91 for cheating and the NLF mafia said " wait a minute buddy we all do that so now you're out of the NLF mafia ".

No one checks a darn thing and they all know it and have been doing it for years.....there are definitely older kids on the wsyl teams and 91 is always the biggest offender and it's the worst kept secret in youth lacrosse

GI was actually surprisingly a very gritty team. Took 1 or 2 goal losses to Eclipse, Primetime, Rebels. Then Beat up on Legacy and Shore 2 Shore. Like if they are in that top bracket would have an easy path to championship bracket.

This is simply not true. All the kids on 91 are age-eligible.

There were easier schedules but does it matter? You want a weaker bracket in order to advance, only to get schooled by superior teams? Look at Igloo...Played the bottom of the barrel Day 1 and then got beat up by 91 when it mattered. The 3 teams mentioned above clearly were not ready. They should have stayed home and had a 3 way "Playdate" Cheaper, closer and more balanced competition. Body by Jake thanks them all for their contributions. See you next year!

91, Choppers and Igloo all played weak day 1 schedules because the tournament was weak overall. Too many teams that should not have been there entered and paid the price twice, $ and embarrassment.

Igloo played 91 closer than Choppers and they’ve been running with 91 and Choppers all season. Let’s hear the excuses why they had a closer score then Choppers as I’m sure there are plenty. At the end of the day the best teams rise to the top regardless of schedule.

What about the kid who lives in Texas that played? Maybe he got a PO Box in Shirley

Oh stop...The kid "in Tx" has been playing with them since he was in 3rd grade" FACT

So has the goalie who got replaced by the Wolfpack kid. Nice...

Call Jake and complain! TX kid was as good as they come and was on the roster last year when it was cancelled. No one was hiding it and it’s been approved. So stop your crying and just say great work 91! You want to complain about big boys? Wait until you see the all star teams from the East.

You better get right out to the practice field, your boys need to work on their offense. If they had played LiE, they wouldn’t have been as nice. Chanster would have run up the score.
