Who cares about wins and loses, club feels so saturated. At this point don’t count the goals and penalties. Ask your director how he plans to get your son into these elite invitational events in the next two years. For example, Maverick.

So far from the truth. Legacy has one of the strongest programs boys, girls,box, tournaments and recruiting. Winning t shirts not the answer, draws the wrong parents and they keep jumping all around.

Zummo turned down an opportunity to combine teams for the World Series last that would of have easily qualified. The interest has always been making players better

The parents care because the Directors market the program as "Elite" and an "A" team...Then they get beat by town teams so I think everyone probably cares, even if they dont have the stones to say it......

Good staff and solid coaches. The 2025 Express staff has a resume that is unmatched.

"Rebels VS Regulators 5 man ups for Reg 1 Rebels
Pushes without Position or holds 15 plus on Rebels 3,4 on Regulators
Call of too many kids on field when Rebels were actually short one, as they were subbing.
I saw the Film of the game.
Rebels Lost sometimes that's just how it goes."

Excuses, excuses. Please stop... L is an L. Weather you hit the pipe, missed the cage 10 times or refs were against you...doesn't change the fact that the team didn't get it done. Loss. Move on. Correct mistakes and don't make them so often in your next game. Coaches need to coach better.

Its like watching a bad movie over and over with that team. We love playing them for the "free win" and for the entertainment value of the coaches screaming and carrying on every game.

Yup, don’t whine

Igloo’s B team made a huge improvement.

Isnt it pretty much mostly A kids and they dont have enough for 2 different teams?

Rebels chrome playing very short handed today plays Prime time and express to 3 goal games and beats express north. Even better was Rebels Hawks going to finals in NJ and losing in OT. Run Rebels Run. Great stuff

What happened to Regulators? Did kids leave?

Laughable. They don't have a B team. There are not enough players for 2 teams so kids play both. Those elite players parents must be so happy for them beating up on teams in a B tourney.

Rebels Chrome ...stop That got Destroyed by CoachC It Wasnt nearly as close as score indicates. Express played all non starters in second half and still punished them. Tranished Chrome was lucky to Survive Exp N and didnt score at all in 2nd half. Not 1 goal. Primetime treated them like a greedy director getting caught double dipping. No Man up goals, no offense, same coaching, same mistakes ...same ol rebels

Igloo? They had 34 kids on sideline and played all the kids from Northface because the "Director" was afraid to lose to "B"teams. Bet there are a lot angry parents this a.m. and 34 kids that didnt play with hypothermia. That club is a trainwreck.

No issue, B players will get to play with better kids and vs better competition. I would just try to enter vs appropriate competition based on the roster that plays. No a big deal if they can pull that off. But imho I would try to set up each tourney roster and bring 20 or so for that tourney and so on.

Says angry Regulators parent. How did they lose to the 26 Express North team too?

It was actually new coaching with a lot of goals. Something this team struggled with in past.

Of course it wasn’t as close as score indicates since you are an express parent. You failed to mention that chrome was missing starters across the board from injury and football. Playing with 7 offensive kids. It’s fall ball everyone is playing light. Kids played hard and each team got better. What’s the issue without putting people down?

This is an absolute joke just as predicted.

Clearly these people weren't at the tournament. It wasn't even cold out.

Says the Igloo proud parent who claims his kid is AA but playing against B level teams. Igloo knowingly brought many of their A players and hooted and hollered like the won the WSYL. Too bad they didn’t even make it out of pool play for that one. Great job Igloo.

what tournament is this?

But you did bring your A players

They brought and played their A players. That is pathetic. Time to find a new team

Will the Igloo B players be asked to play in the A tournaments so they can impress the scouts or is the deal all one way?

So, do the Regulators stink? They lost to 26 Express North and then a team of Igloo A and B players...maybe more A & B/ I think they stink regardless.

Several Regulators left for Team Eclispe to try and qualify for WSYl.. Howd that work out for them?

Why do you care so much about Igloo and what they do? Are your children on this team, if not who cares what they do. So they brought a lot of kids and some were good, that means your kid got challenged. We all want to see our children succeed and win. if my kid has to lose, i would prefer that they lost to a group of good players and were challenged. You can not get better by playing inferior competition.
Now if my kid were to play for Igloo, i would be pissed off for a number of reasons. But I would not mind my kids playing against better competition. I just don't get the detest. If your not spending your $$$ with them, it should not bother you. Unless your Kid was cut from their program, then i could see some sour grapes.

Last I looked this was fall Lacrosse. Regulators have been rotating new kids into see what they can do including another goalie. Whoever is excited about winning games in the fall that don't matter then you need another hobby.... #getalife

Are you the Igloo spokesperson? Is is fair or ethical to bring down a bunch of players to play inferior competition just so you can get the W. We know we're a B team that is why we played in this tournament. The only thing sour is playing down in tournaments just to feed your owners ego.

AA is a laxer

Your missing the point here. They are entering an A team into a B tournament. That is a waste of everyone's time and money, Igloo and their opponents. No one gets anything out of it. All this is is a way for Igloo to get their kids a free hat or t-shirt and pound their chests on social media claiming another tournament victory...They are not fooling anyone!

AA is a stunad maybe you’ll realize it sooner than later. Strict business guy. Cares less about kids.

I hear what both are saying. Good competition will make you better. But if the competition is far superior then it’s a waste. I’m curious to what the scores were. Were any of the game close within 3-4 goals. If so then it was good for both teams. If the scores were blow outs 8-12 point difference then it was a waste for both teams.

It seems Igloo and their ownership continue to sink to new lows yet people continue to throw money at them with multiple teams at each grade. Are people that desperate to throw 3 to 5k out the window just to play club lacrosse?. I just don't get it but maybe that's the point.

Especially when they don't have good coaches.

You seem to have an axe to grind with Igloo. If parents want to throw their money away. That’s their choice. As posted above. If the games were close then no harm. If they were blow outs then igloo needs to do better for their kids and place them in tournaments that they will be challenged. Also it’s fall ball. As someone posted on here a few pages back. Igloo had a lot of turnover. So they probably not 100% sure of what they have. Seems like they are not an A team but better than a B team. Tough spot to be in.

If all the kids played it may be a different story. But you have A team kids taking time away from B team kids. A real classless move...

Anyone else get the maverick invite but told to keep it quiet so not to cause drama? The event operator didn't do any favors by posting next summers event was "sold out!"

It’s one showcase out of 50. Who cares anymore about maverick. Best in class. Juniors open. Spotlight. Main stage. One percent. Apex. Future phenoms. Lacrosse masters. Nlf futures. Ecd , the show , and on and on and on. Where does it end Race to no where.

Maverick is by far the Best showcase around but that being said there are many to do and if your son is any good they will find you .... But also you need be in reality as to where your son stands .....
