Anyway you look at it not a good day for TG . 1-2 on the day would not bode well for the season if they actually invited all the 2020 black players. If they did not invite all the 2020 players and this was a daddy team then how do you have Shannon coaching it, that will not bode well for team chemistry .I heard all their top players were at the tournament , that was from a parent who considers their kid a top player lol.

No, not the best day for TG, it happens. The ENTIRE 2020 black team was invited, all of them. Some could not make it but ALL were included. It was a TG team NOT a "daddy" team, that is why Shannon was there. So please move on.

Team was originally entered as Green Machine by one of the dad and it was later decided to do it as a team event. Hence, why BOTH names are listed. The paper might say GM/TG but the tee shirt only said TG and we know its what's on the tee shirt that really counts!!

If your on 2020 Black you know what when on with the team no reason to explain to anyone why do you keep replying to these fools.

The selling point to many 2020s about to jump ship when SL left was they were upgrading the coach to SS. Reality is that is a big down grade in coaching.

The big selling point should be the 2020 black are a lot better team the Legaacy. No debate necessary.

2020 black used to be better than everybody.

Yes you had one very good year based on one very good player, you have played MD 2 times and beaten them 1, congrats. Sounds as if your best days are now behind you , sad .

who cares they are 12

What's sad is you posting the 12 year old girls best days are behind them. You should be embarrassed you need to wake up and stop living through your daughter.

Did not post about "best days behind you" and I agree it's not a fair post but it is ironic how you crazy, bragging TG daddy's who all of a sudden now say that a post is sad when your not on top anymore and you have been ranting, not handling success well at all. You felt like you were big shots for 1 pre-school season and conducted yourselves with complete arrogance. It's kind of gratifying to watch you now try and humble yourselves when you have been the crazy parents living through your daughters, rambling on these walls. Now maybe it is time to do exactly as you advise and wake up and stop this nonsense. It should be easier for you now.

What a bunch of nonsense. These kids are going to grow up and amount to nothing just like their ignorant parents. Really sad.

Perhaps the ones that were rambling and bragging are now with you on the YJ's....just saying....

As you can see from the YJ rosters that have been posted, 2020 TG has lost a lot of kids and will struggle this summer.

Is the new look of the team a surprise to somebody? Old news, move on

All teams will struggle!!!!! Look at all the double dippers on Yj roster and tg roster. All age groups.... Poor BS!!! He doesn't deserve this.

Is this a joke , its exactly what he deserves. That guy acts like an absolute lunatic everywhere he goes. Sold the club to people as if it was going to be run by his daughter . How many would have joined that club knowing of shannons limited involvement .

I would suggest you go back to your YJ thread.. Seems like you're here to start trouble yet your own club is in a total disarray. Lot of unhappy YJ'ers since the rosters have been posted. Don't worry about us over here, Worry about trying to move of that 6th team losers!

I doubt there are going to be any double dippers. Many of those kids that are on the TG and YJ Rosters didn't attend YJ tryouts, they registered and no showed YJ tryouts. They were still placed on a YJ team. This happened with several girls.

Good story to cover attending try outs and being put on the bottom team. Hey, you gave it a shot, now you can go play for TG knowing where you would stand switching over. Of course now the TG directors know where your head is at, not sure if you would want to go back. Good news is at least the TG team coaches aren't paying attention to what's going on, or is that the bad news?

Whoever says the 6th team is an absolute moron. First of all four teams and secondly, any of these four teams are better than ANY team on top guns. You are the loser. You can't even compare organizations and coaching!!!! Yj is a better organization by leaps and bounds. Sorry to break the news to you.

Yawn!

Then why are you on this thread?

There are 6 teams in 2019. TG easily beat 19 bert last year. Purple lost by 1 goal. Why do you guys always bash TG? Look at the facts before making comments.

Okay the fact is a lot of your top team players in the 2020 and 2019 age group have transferred over to YJ which will most likely weaken those teams. When you have large numbers of kids leaving your top teams it seems as if maybe your club is on the decline.

OK angry one, go back to your own thread. Do you really need to come over and bash the Top Gun program, to justify your feeling trapped into staying with YJ. Your kid is obviously not on a top team or else you would not feel the need to justify the number of team and tell us how good all four of your teams are. YJ is a good program, it gives gives the opportunity to play, and if you are really good (and in many cases just good and lucky enough to have a connection) you will be on their top team. If you are not on their top team, I suspect many of you walk around feeling inadequate thus feeling the need to bash other programs to make you feel like you are better than someone else. Your are probable a person with low self-esteem, and has to pick on others in order to make themselves feel better.

I am sure you will come back with some other insult, but the reality is you cannot escape your own inadequacies no matter what you say.

Three kids is hardly large numbers.

There wasn't a large number of players who left, but those who did where good players. That being said they were also the ball hogs, and their parents had their egos riding on their kids playing ability. The ones who left all were welcomed into the YJ friends and family membership, given passes to top teams (some deserving some not), and the former TG daddies who got the F and F plan and coaching spot, their kids are playing for free and getting their travel paid for. But they also had to deliver a few others as well in order to get the deal. I feel sorry for the ones who got talked into going over with these F and F coaches when it's not all it's cracked up to be.

Well since there are with you now at YJ, then there is no need to bother us. You and them go on and win all the tournaments.. What is your point even being bothered with us weak TG's?

2020 only lost 2 players to YJ. One strong player and one OK player. That's it!

I heard the daddy coach has been second guessing his deal?

Typical TG math , 3 is not a large number but the number is at least 7 I know of, certainly more than that went to the tryouts and I know 7 of them have left for YJ. A few more to follow their coach and you are talking around ten kids left the top teams from 2019 and 2020. Say what you want but it says something.

And the coach! Big loss

Actually 3 players , 2 strong and 1 good. Add in the kids who went to Levy and what we lost 4-5 starters , that hurts. That being said who cares , more playing time for our kids , less ball hogging and we got rid of the parent who sits on the sideline criticizing every ones kid. Normally I don't like to criticize any kid but here goes some payback for years of listening to it.Yes your kid is a talented player, your kid is a year older than the other kids so she should be good, she plays a selfish game because you tell her to play that way " clear thru" so she is isolated and can take another forced shot.You think she is a no brainer D1 star middie but anyone who watches can see she is not a defender and any contact makes her shy away so good luck with that.There are many talented kids in the age group and that hold back year will not be the same advantage as they get older.

shots fired!

Good riddance

One of the players played on 2019 at TG and is now playing 2020 @ YJ. Therefore 2020 did not "lose" her, she never played with them. However, YJ 2020 was very lucky to get her.

So funny to come to anonymous land where you can see a grown adult so jealous of a 12 yr old kid they feel the need to sling mud, your a sad person.

Girls are being left back also?

I did not think that the girls were repeating the 8th grade to gain a leg up.

Well she is a 2020 so semantics really. Lucky we will see how well she and her family fit in the cut throat world of YJ.

No, not semantics, fact. She did not play for TG 2020. Therefore, they did not lose her. The end.
