Turtles in Another stratosphere?? Wow !! I will gen-u-flect the next time i am in their presence. 91 with their "big middies" will beat them this year.

So sad, really don't why those Hills people act the way they do, but it has a trickle down affect on their children. They have a great program over there at the HILLS why don't they just do their own thing. They are used to running the show, and for some reason everyone caters to them. My children would never treat another human being the way this child did. I agree we are staying far away from Team91. They can have all those Hills peeps

Parents should not write checks that their kids can't cash, its not fair to the kids that generally respect and enjoy one another to create this type of challenges and animosity. I have never seen a 91 kid and Express kid or whoever show any ill will toward each other...only the parents do that.

Parents should stay out of it and let the kids play and enjoy the game without creating this atmosphere of hate.

The Turtles ... strive for excellence and in a world filled with mediocrity

If you are from 91 ask yourself this question. Who didn't 91 Orange play in the last session of indoor? What other team was in there?

You played us (Three village) twice yet you didn't play another team that happened to win all their games? Interesting.

Figure it out yet?

HINT: The were Red and Blue and a few of them wore Purple helmets.

LMAO, yeah JM doesn't like losing to town teams, thats for sure.

MY kid is on a orange 2017 team he is very happy. He looks forward to playing the Turtles because he respects them, he thinks they are great the way they pass,shoot,faceoff, play defense.He wants to be on the Turtles will it happen most likely not, but if that motivates him to do the side work to become a better player nonething wrong with that.Do I believe the Turtle kids are the best 21 kids on long island no.but they are the team to beat.

Oh brother. How did yhe koolaid taste. JM and 91 are ready to get into the stratusphere. Turtles will lose the faceoff battle against the big guys. Looks like the turtles will have to share the rarified air.

Hyperbole much? You realize you are talking about 12-13 year olds, right? Good Lord - get a grip.

Say what you want, but take a look at those Turtle kids in 5 years from now, I can almost guarantee you a large majority of them will be playing this game at the next level. They are learning the value of hard work, dedication and teamwork, what's the problem with that?

Having watched the Turtles play over the last few years, I appreciate that they function extremely well as a TEAM. They should, they have the commitment, time, and full resources to excel as a TEAM. Most teams, even the "A" teams ,are not as fortunate or able to give this commitment at this time. Potentially a reason they do not share the "stratosphere". They do have my respect for they accomplish as young kids.

Having watched them in tryouts over the last few years(yes, they are always there), I appreciate that they are individual boys. Some have great skill, others maybe less. I have witnessed many players at tryouts out perform individual Turtle players in various drills. Individual boys have skill that is on par with Turtle players. The Turtles excel as a TEAM. I respect all kids that push themselves to play their best.

I wouldn't be surprised if Many Turtles players play at the next level. I also wouldn't be surprised if many "other" players out perform individuals over the next few years and make names or TEAM associations forgetable. They are 12, time, size, maintained commitment, and maturity will decide much. I wish all our kids the best of luck in accomplishing their goals.

Mediocre? Let's say my son plays lacrosse, and other sports for that matter. Let's say he plays on an "A" team and contributes each time he steps on the field. Let's say he is an A+ student in an actual acadenically competitive school district and headed for honors next year. Let's say he has been defined by coaches and teachers as a leader and a unique individual. Let's say that he loves sports, and school, and his friends, that his goals in life are his to achieve and reach far beyond "the next level". Should we say he is mediocre?

Or should he work really hard, day in and day out playing lacrosse, and have his goal be MLL? so you can consider him more than mediocre? I really care what you think, please enlighten me.

Wow, your kid is amazing.

The best "Big guy" faceoff man is playing for True Blue next best is with the Gladiators and already has played for the Turtles in Florida so they seem to have addressed their lack of size at the faceoff dot.

Is Powers coaching the 2014 Orange Team or just the Turtles?

Just call the store that JD owns and they will tell you how to sign up for a Powers clinic
