How did Kraken do this weekend?

Nice win Nitro in B tourney

Kraken won Big Time championship for 2033. They beat Sweetlax Florida (7 to 5) in semi and Sweetlax Upstate (7 to 3) in champ game.

Was Sweetlax FL missing players? They beat Kracken 15-0 at NAL and then lose them 2x over the weekend, I get that these are 9-10 year olds but that's quite the turn around in a week. Hopefully Sweetlax FL parents behaved at this one.

Big time is a B tourney

Rebels went undefeated at Big Time; looked great vs an awesome Sweetlax Florida team (Stealth Black Ops Clone), beating them twice in 2 days. Tied Sweetlax Upstate 7-7 in game #1 on Saturday then picked them apart in the championship on Sunday.

FL was missing nobody, Kraken just played very bad lacrosse at NAL pretty much all-around but still managed to hang around with MadLax and Upstate at that time. Things got back to normal this weekend. Never had any problems with the Sweetlax FL parents; they were gracious in defeat, Upstate not so much.

Why doesn’t Long Island setup a league like Maryland does the hoco league especially for the younger ages. (91,express,legacy,rebels,btb,shore2shore,igloo etc) It seems to really help those Maryland teams be ready for tourney time.

Maryland hoco league killed Rec/Pal lacrosse. Most clubs do not want that to happen here.

Nitro parents get ready for the 30 plus Roster

How did Hoco kill rec/pal lax?

Ahhhh that makes sense!

You don't know what you are talking about. MD has the MYLL for rec and rec based club teams. Rec based club teams and other second tier club teams fill out the A and AA divisons in Hoco while the bigger established club programs fill out AAA and Elite in Hoco. MD has something for everyone.

This is a post season tournament. After July 4th, the season is done for top local club teams and only national, all star and recruiting teams continue playing. Not certain what this tourney is trying to do.
At this point, many kids who aren't on a national team are being recruited to play w other teams. I bet Krakens and Sweetlax Fl had entire rosters different as SL had good kids playing for Nationals, Nations Best 3D, others and Krakens picked up some kids from other clubs that had ended their season.

I'm not sure you have any idea what you're talking about. Do you have boys on any of these teams? If not then just stop making assumptions about rosters. 95% of the Kraken roster has been the same since the fall. Your statement about the post season holds no weight either. Dozens of "top" local club teams were playing all along the east coast on Sat-Sun.

NITRO Dominates a C Tourney. Played up, wow, that's impressive

2 Tshirts for Nitro in under a week. I know which tryout I’m going to!

On July 7, at Lax Blast, NY, Rebels 2033 goes 0-4 with losses of 11-4 & 12-2

I don’t think that is Kracken, Kracken played and won the big time shootout on 7/6-7/7. Must be some Rebels
b team that played lax blast.

ML won another event, playing in the 32 bracket, beating ‘33 Hawks and ‘32 Mooselax.

It was a girls tournament

How did Kraken make out? Figured a cheerleader would be on here by now bragging. Guess it wasn’t what one was hoping or expecting

Make out in what? Kraken had a fantastic season. They'll be battling with Nitro for LI dominance for years to come. These boys are going into 4th grade doing stuff that most of us couldn't do until we were much older. Let's all have fun watching them grow as players and people!

it looks like all club lacrosse really starts at 3rd and 4th grade... what is the difference in younger "teams?" igloo k-2 clinic team? rebels rising rebels? are these just farm systems to grab money and just take whoever is "ready" to play in a couple tournaments? legacy and 91 and express also have younger "teams"

club lax started for me as soon as my son was born. I knew I was going to hold him back and get some fiddle stix for the crib!
