LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Totally disagree with those of you saying this benefits man-to-man defense. To start, I'm not sure everyone on this forum realizes how much more physically demanding man-to-man is than zone, which is why teams that are outmatched athletically rarely play man these days. There are no recoveries in zo...

I would not have chosen two of these three much-less-than-flattering photographs . I see many photographs of players make their way onto social media that I'm sure the players (and those who eventually see them) would balk at if they had veto power . Super high speed photography sometimes enhances ...

Personally I think their bodies look phenomenal — strong, toned, fit, healthy (as are the opponents also pictured). These women exercise 2-3 hours per day and it shows. Yes, it's hard to keep a pretty face during physical exertion. Yes, almost all women have cellulite. Yes, thighs often look undefin...

Oops. My post was about Hompe. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. My scouting report to Canada (assuming them) would be to start straight up, but be ready to deploy a face guard if necessary. Can’t remember for sure, but were the Canadian coaches the same in 2017? Pretty sure Gait was on the staff. He pro...

There is a pretty good close up of the initial stick that was taken out of play, as it sits on the table on the sideline. I swear it looks like it has leather shooting strings, which I've never seen before, not even sure if that is legal? Anyway, something looks off with the pocket - not sure if th...

Let’s just hope we don’t have any real close one goal games in which a critical goal is disallowed because one of our players fails to drop her stick in a timely manner. Yes, let's hope that our nation's best are competent enough to drop their sticks promptly as the officials have repeatedly asked....

String pulling. The slide could serve that same purpose.

Duke's Olivia Jenner played UNC 8 times 2016-2019. For two years, she and North shared the field in Durham; during these years, Jenner was a leader on the field and North's job was to score (she did not take the draw). Once she moved to BC, North likewise began taking the draw and was undoubtedly th...

And just to add some levity to the Sam Swart discussion, she was a very good HS Field Hockey player. HOWEVER, if memory serves me correctly, Syracuse FH is a National Power. I don't see how SS, who has not played since HS, is going to do anything more than make the FH team. I do not think she can j...

I am of the opinion that the contact can not occur with the shaft of the stick. To do so is cross checking. This is why when we teach defense to kids we put tape a few inches up the stick and have the kids keep their hands on the tape and butt of their stick. Contact initiates with the hands and no...

I thought AWW’s coaching weakness this year was not rotating players in on the draw, especially when CN was not doing well at the draw. Head scratcher….IMHO +1. BC had great circle players who could compete with anyone in 50/50 battles. Made no sense to keep North in the circle unless she was domin...

I hope Mastroianni wins it. I hope one year all the finalists are eliminated before championship weekend :lol: :lol: :lol: UNC spread the workload too evenly to have a standout on CN's level. They had at least 3 strong options on the draw (Mastroianni, Dirks, Aldave) compared to CN alone for BC. UN...

It interests me to see all these incredibly talented players on the field together with limited (? if any?) practice time together. Very few sets run, just trying to mesh skillsets and create chemistry, week-in and week-out. It's fun to see how players build teams/units in the draft and how their vi...

Attacks on GIFs, "sighs" and multi-paragraph screeds about past slights are clearly having the opposite effect of what you had hoped for. ONW ain't going anywhere. He's a different breed of cat and not susceptible to the same types of social pressures that lawyers, dentists and suburban l...

Does it genuinely not bother you at all that you make this forum a worse place for the other users?

Got another name to throw in the mix - James Delaney , HC at the University of Indianapolis. They just won their first D2 National Championship and the man knows what he is doing. The question with DII and DIII coaches is always, would they leave a successful program for a mid-major HC or big AC jo...

To offer a little feedback – I would prefer if posts were not moved from one thread to another on the boards. I have witnessed many rabbit trails and digressions under many different topics and they happen organically; then they usually get back on track at some point. I find that less of an upheav...

Yep. And they're not the only ones.
