Are u kidding? Igloo has beaten United every time they have played with the exception of this past year's Shamrock Shootout. The one ref was so ridiculous in his calls I literally have never seen anything like it. United is way too good a team to count that as a win. They saw what was taking place. United is a very very good team. As of now, Igloo is better. Anything can happen this year.

By the way, they played 3 times last year, Halloween Havoc, Shamrock Shootout, and Lax Fest. Igloo won 2. They also played approximately 4 times the year before, with Igloo easily winning all 4. We will see what happens this year. Heard the United face off kid is gone. He was good.

You obviously have never played lacrosse nor know the rules of the game to make that statement. The ref missed every call that would benefit Igloo, and literally made up calls to benefit United. Again, United is too good a team to consider that a win. One day you will beat Igloo fairly. That was not the day. I'll give you that Igloo's coach's frustrations definetly led the ref to make additional bad calls. But please, United's coaches are some of the biggest tools out there.

TLI "B" team ranks right behind just about all the town teams. Was that a serious question!

Who is better TLI "B" or Express "A"

How will express compare to igloo, united and TLI "A" then. Any thoughts?
We all know they are not in smash's class.

Mr. Smash dad....You are putting a huge target on your sons team. Be careful. They aren't that much better than the few listed above. You are in for a surprise.

The Target has always been there and you sir are not the only team that has improved

The Express did not turnover, they completely upgraded every spot. Point is, I am sure everyone improved and the games should be competitive.

"Completely upgraded..." Oh please!

Smash is at another level than all other 2022 teams. Even if United, Express & TLI combined their best players it still would not be challenge. Keep practicing!

What makes you think they have superior coaching? I've seen a lot of MC teams play. Plenty of talent but they don't put it together on the field. MC is a great teacher of lacrosse. His style of play does not work well in game situations. You've been sold on him as a teacher, not a game winner. And there is a big difference between the two. You will see. I've had 3 kids play for him. His system just does not work. Again I will say that he is a GREAT teacher of lacrosse. Just don't expect to win any tournaments. This is not the express of old. There are more than five or so clubs to beat now.

Thanks. I'll take it under advisement. Lol

And we've already had 4 practices under our belt and the team is looking real good.

Express is the team to beat for 2022. No Question...

You must be new to the express team. We know you added new players and MC is the coach now, but every other team has added players also. Some of your best players last year went to other teams. You have never beaten smash igloo or united. What makes you think you are the team to beat? A town team beat you last year. Concentrate on beating jesters and legacy before you worry about the big boys. Smash by far the best team and the te to beat.

I'm sure they look great in practice. Reality is , nothing proven in fall tournaments. No one cares and real athletes play multiple sports!

Good luck with rebuilding year!

I agree with that, smash should start playing 2022. Prove themselves. Only beat united 6-4. United barely beat express. Igloo beat united. I really wish smash would play everyone routinely, I bet they'd lose a few. But that would ruin the mystique. Better to play 2021 "B" brackets.

Question: what was the score the last time smash played united?
Like everyone is saying, the gap is closing rapidly. Don't panic, you had a nice run. Everyone will always remember how great that smash team was when everyone was 8-9-10 years old. Express added a lot of studs this year. This could be the year. United came close this year. This could be the year. Igloo always in the mix. There's been a lot of chatter about some other clubs also.

I think the poster means as the teams get older the competition balances out. You can't really think Smash will continue to play up . The other 2022 teams will close the gap this year and even closer next. You must not think they will match the talent and success Crush has experienced. If so you are crazy. Not taking anything away from 10 year old boys but being honest

Not that I disagree, but just wondering why you think another team will not have the success that Crush has. What is it that Crush has that other teams will not be able to replicate? I do believe Smash to be a very good team. The more success you have, the more you attract better players. The closer to recruiting years, the more those players want on to be on THE team- no?

Not a Crush parent but I would have to think a coach plays a big part. Like him or not JS is prob the best around. I've played against The Smash and they don't have players like Crush did two years ago. Sorry to burst your bubble. Se u at HH.
