Could not agree more. Tons of kids quit the sport or left igloo bc of him. Wonder why igloo waited so long to do the right thing.

All these weak divisions.

Meanwhile the Annapolis Hawks play up in their elite tournament, and defeat '31 teams.

MD teams doing it right.

No body here on Island cares about your HOLD backs playing up. They are basically playing in right age then. Hawks hawks, go away do not come back another day.

These parents are a bunch of elite donkeys! Enjoy little man

Jesters 2-0 playing Archers 2-0
Shore 2 Shore 2-0 playing Igloo 1-1

Rebels big win over 91 4-1
91 big win over igloo 4-0

Was definitely not as advertised by the Jesters bunch....

10-0 Archers- # 1 on island. Everyone else can play for 2nd place

How long before the better players go to 91 or Express?

Keep saying they and keep seeing it not happen. It’s not 2019 anymore.

rebels 33-32-31 AA tristar 9-0 / 31 A 3-0 / 30,29 AA 2-1. No one is leaving rebels. 91 and express are becoming dinosaurs

People thought Jesters could run with Rebels? Come on.

That’s actually impressive

Rebels lost to Legacy and Igloo Columbus Day weekend so guess you are ignoring those loses

Rebels looks awesome at youth level, I think people know they are future but I’m not giving it yet

Rebels are a joke. Better players will leave. But you can keep pounding your chest while little Johnny celebrates their goals. Ride is over soon.

5 teams separated themselves as AA teams so far this fall, Rebels seem atop the group as of now, 91, Igloo, S2S and Legacy can win on any given day. Not another team on LI close to that group. You would think 91 gets better as they release kids from their top team that are better suited for their second team. Some volatility at Igloo, but still very talented. These 5 will have some great games this year.

Rebels lost those games because of the schedule. They lost those games because they had to stay on the field twice and play back-to-back games. They beat both of those teams that same day when they weren’t playing back to back games.

Rebels ends the fall season clearly on top in this age bracket. All the teams will be working hard this winter and we’ll see who comes out on top in the spring.

91 Will get better as they add out of state kids. Igloo is in flux, could blow up.

And beat them. They went 1-1 vs both teams, and lost on the back 2 back. Each team that weekend lost on their back 2 back games, tough at that age. Rankings can always change but the top 4 are pretty clear.

rebels did lose on Back to backs against legacy and Iglioo. They also smoked them the other 2 games they played.

To me it looks like tough competition between all the top teams. Not sure if the posts claiming "all the top teams can play for 2nd place" are trolling or if the poster is legit mentally ill. Either way it's not a great look for the Rebels and I wouldn't want to share the sideline with that type of parent.

These boys are lucky they have each other to compete with one another and make each other better.

91 against Rebels have scored in Goals total in 3 games. Thats one for each coach. Guess the one holding stat book, was not very busy!

It’s not a rebels parent

Think as kids on the end of the rosters of those top 5 teams move, they could go to Express East, they will join MooseLax, 91b, to form the B bracket. Express will be able to pull some top kids from other teams to eventually get into try top tier.

only thing worse then rebels is their parents.
always talking and every game sideline altercation

that’s ‘not where i want to give my money too

The way it begins is with losses, which will slowly come over time and that is fine. Those other teams will all build out talent and add better players. Then people start contemplating moves. I have seen happen over and over. I wish it wouldn’t, but it just does. But try to break that trend. Usually the first mistake that is made is when younger teams that are very good, really don’t add better players out of loyalty and difficulty of making cuts at this age. Plus the other teams will carry large rosters to get the best 10. I totally respect the loyalty and cutting kids, but this is a business of winning, above all else. Again, I hope I am wrong. But won’t believe otherwise until I see it happen more. 2024 Taz was one of the only exceptions that I have seen. That team held together over a long period of time.

Legacy Tax added a lot of out town kids, plenty of their kids boarded flights to get to tournaments

91 parents awfully quiet this weekend. Wonder if those parents were told to hold their tongues or their kids will be penalized. Those parents are full of verbal abuse on the sidelines.

They are definitely very fun to watch, saw several new helmets on their club. Sad they can't give their kids new helmets and already months in.

It’s a great day to Be a Outlaw!

It would have been nice if some of those teams got put in the other bracket. All the Express teams could have battled it out. Just saying keep it competitive for all.

This is 4th grade we are talking about, right? 9 year olds?

Rebels pounced yesterday, well done by those boys, hard work pays off, no club practices more and it shows.

Rebels had the best skill level of the teams last weekend, they are doing something right.

Great. They got a good core and are obviously working hard. But imho, now is the time for the play in the best tournaments next summer. Not local events.

Why? Other than little kids having fun and learning, why is now the time?

Its just MD dads posting here because they are tired or Crabs playing Crabs and gas is expensive for them to drive to LI

Although Rebels look very good, don’t think 91 and Igloo that far off. Also think S2S and Legacy best HC, after that it’s a very steep drop off to the B bracket. Think 91B and Express become relevant and create another tier with those kids that are either itching for more playing time from the rosters above or from talented kids on B level rosters. This has been the trend for the past 10 years, wouldn’t expect it to change with this age. The house hold name programs will continue to dominate nationally. Strong age group, good to see. MD in for a rude awakening

Rebels are not a top 5 in this age group. Please stop. The only thing you are correct about, 91 and Express will dominate this age group for years to come.

Archers beat all the top teams this fall. They beat 91 3
times.

Your comment is just silly. Rebels are undeniably at the top of this age group this fall. 91 will continue to work and I’m sure they will be strong by spring. Hopefully, Express eventually can get out of the B brackets, but it’s going to take work and they’re going to have to try to attract some top kids from these other clubs. At Tri-Star all the Express teams were the low level teams, not a good look for that club.
