What's so funny about that Smash played there last year. It's only a joke tournament when you aren't there? You Smash dads are a bunch if red solo cup losers who are trying to live life through your kids. The arrogance factor is incredible, what are you going to do when your kid picks travel soccer over lacrosse?

What's funny is that tournament was a joke. There was absolutely no competition which is why we didn't go back.....and our red cups are Dixie not Solo.

Whatever brand they are they are filled with your missed opportunities and hard liquor. The real shame is the kids are good but the parents are complete A**holes. You guys are way worse than the Crush parents with your arrogance.

thats funny this must be the assitant coach talking whos takeing over as head coach..parents of 2014 ere not! happy most sighned on last year for Barone not his side kick! (Batmans gone so now you have robin) there will be alot of openings on that glorified b team for 2015.

What team would this be?

Your kid will need an English tutor, if you are his role model/parent/caretaker.
Not travel lacrosse.
Not Coach Barone.
What a mess of the English language youve made.

Sounds like super hero fan's kid got cut last year!!

Angry parents!

As a parent of a player on Coach Barone's and Coach McHugh 2022 team for the last two years, I wish to thank both him and Coach McHugh for all the hard work providing a top level lacrosse experience for our family. The entire journey was fantastic. Our son met a lot of great kids, grew as a lacrosse player, learned wonderful life skills and deepened his love for the game. Tony and Mikes emphasis on schoolwork, sportsmanship, family, and teamwork were invaluable. Our family had a great time meeting new friends, being part of a close knit group of families and watching our children develop as athletes and kids.

Does anyone have a tissue?

With respect to Coach Barone's move to Igloo, we wish him and his family nothing but the best. As Tony said after our last game of the season, once an athlete has completed for him, that player will always will be considered one of Tony's group and his door would always be open. Tony committed to provide a 100% effort while coaching our children, teaching them the game of lacrosse while fostering their development as student-athletes, which he did a marvelous job of. He did not commit to coaching our children for the rest of their careers. Personally I feel it is beneficial for young players to experience different coaching styles, so I consider this to be an opportunity to gain insight from different coaching, as if Coach Tony had continued with the Jesters, we would have stayed with him.

As for Coach McHugh, we are confident he will continue to do a great job. He and Tony aside from being good friends, had very similar coaching styles. Coach McHugh is very knowledgeable about the game and I am sure will continue to help our children flourish.

As for the personal attacks on Coach Tony, I remind everyone that our children are 10 years old. Coach Barone is following through what all of us attempt to complete on a daily basis, that what is best for his family. I applaud him to have the courage to make this difficult decision, for I know Tony cares deeply for his players. I am sure that he and his sons will have success with Igloo as they are wonderful athletes. At no time during the past two seasons did Tony show any favoritism or provide special treatment to his child who was on the team. (who happens to be a special lacrosse player).

To close, thanks Tony for a wonderful experience. Our family will always remember the past two seasons and wish you and your entire family continued success.

So...are you Jesters 2022 Black all moving to Igloo?

Any info on 2022 express? Understand they made big strides last summer but I see the coach is now with igloo. Also heard there are only 4-5 players coming back. Have a 2022 son looking for a team. Seems like this team is starting over. Who is coaching now? What's going on over there in express land?

Igloo -Cromwell going to be great a great experience for ALL kids ...he is very very good with kids

Chanachuk for Express 2022 and as far as the Jesters A goes, who cares!

Was told that Express A is only taking 18-20 kids Max.
That came straight from the source

Lol. Watch!!

Does anyone know anything about a new team called the "Hurricanes"? I am speaking as a 2022 parent. Any input is appreciated. Thank you.

Don't forget all those guest appearances from players who channy thinks will help him that particular tournament. We all know he's famous for that!!
Good luck. I'd stay far away from this team. He will keep adding players until they stop paying.
