Only exception is mooselax. Most of the outlaw kids went there. They should be much improved. The legacy team is really bad.

That team has declined past few years . Legacy was awful this summer. Igloo should be 2 and 91 number 3. I don’t know about that. I may be wrong but I’ve never seen igloo beat 91. They come close every time but always seem to lose in the end.

If kids accepted spots will be legit, but that's a big IF.

It was the C team. If CoachC keeps his roster at 35 then the express B team is not good. If the the bottom half of Channys roster went to the B team, they would be good. The B team they fielded at World Series qualifier was decent. But only because channys roster size was limited due to World Series rules.

Rebels has two and probably should stick to one .

There were only 2 kids left off of CoachC's roster for the world series. The team isn't a roster of 35. It was 27 last year. 2 of CoachC's kids played fo the B team. 1 middle and 1 defense.

Express is clearly number one and Igloo is clearly 2 , no other years has 91 been so irrelevant , usually they figure it out but it certainly seems like a coaching and a talent issue , that being said please don’t put ECE or moose and Express B in the same conversation as 91, that’s a joke !

They will be the 4th best team after Express, 91, and Igloo. Mooselax is a joke. Outlaws didn’t beat those teams…why would mooselax? Because a couple decent players went there?

I don’t think anyone was saying they were in the same conversation. Someone was just ranking teams. Express is clearly number one. Everyone else is in 2nd tier. I agree that this age group on Long Island just isn’t that good. I don’t know the head to head record but 91 always seems to beat igloo. I watched the the World Series game and 91 won in overtime with a bunch of 2027 kids. Great game.

The problem with the 2026 year is that Li is saturated with to many clubs looking to make a buck. You could definitely but together two more top teams from Li besides Express A.

I guess reality doesn't matter to you. When has Igloo beat 91 recently? Also, 2026 91 added a new coach for the up coming season. They finished this past season very strong with their core kids and a few adds. The top 3 are Express, 91 and Igloo as usual. Nothing odd about this year. Same top three as years past.

Igloo didn’t even qualify. Igloo and 91 consistently get beat buy top teams.

I love LI lax and have been around the game 40 years, but I agree 2026 is odd with Express dominant and then a Massive drop off and no remote improvement in 91 over the years. My ‘26 isn’t a high level player but we have played all these teams and it’s an anomaly for sure. I have a ‘17, ‘19 and ‘22 who have seen it all and this is the worst level of play after Express I’ve ever seen for LI.

Think Express is only one settled at top, rest up for grabs. 91, Legacy, Igloo, Rebels most likely fight for 2-5. ECE, Turtles, Moose and others for spots 6-10. I believe ECE recently beat Rebels in a tournament. Then again I heard Rebels had a large turnout at tryouts. Let’s not forget Express B or Empire. Yes, don’t sleep on that Express B team. With an increased focus from the coaching staff they will be a much improved team. The express B team is like a unicorn. Doesn’t exist. Every time you beat them, they claim it wasn’t the B team. It was the C team. If CoachC keeps his roster at 35 then the express B team is not good. If the the bottom half of Channys roster went to the B team, they would be good. The B team they fielded at World Series qualifier was decent. But only because channys roster size was limited due to World Series rules. Chaney not going to keep his roster that size this coming season. Some of the “AA” players will move to the B team. While some of the B players will move to the C team. The C team will have there own coaching staff.

Think Express is only one settled at top, rest up for grabs. 91, Legacy, Igloo, Rebels most likely fight for 2-5. ECE, Turtles, Moose and others for spots 6-10. I would agree with this. Only exception is mooselax. Most of the outlaw kids went there. They should be much improved. The legacy team is really bad. Bump Legacy out of that top 5 and replace with S2S. They will be the 4th best team after Express, 91, and Igloo. Mooselax is a joke. Outlaws didn’t beat those teams…why would mooselax? Because a couple decent players went there? Never really said mooselax would beat express, 91 or igloo. I just stated that they would be much improved. And for the record the outlaws have beaten shore to shore and 91 Not that it matters since outlaws are now defunct…but what year did they beat 91 and S2S? US Club doesn’t list them playing either in the last year and a half and Covid ruined most of 2020. Was this 2-3 years ago? They beat 91 in 2019. And beat shore to shore in 2020. Never said they were better than those teams. But the post said the outlaws had never beaten those teams.
