To quote the movie Miracle

Craig Patrick: " You're missing the best players."
Herb Brooks: "I'm not looking for the best players, Craig, I'm lookin' for the right ones."

I'm not sure some of the younger ones are ready to not be numero uno and may have trouble blending in. Kent and Apuzzo ride like crazy and can cause a lot of turnovers. Add in Tumulo and Treanor's skill and creativity and Hoeg,'s incredible vision and you've got a really amazing unit. Just an opinion, and glad I don't have to choose.

In case anyone is interested in more on this, there's a USA women's lacrosse tryout show airing tonight at 6pm on LSN with Sheehan Stanwick Burch and Kristen Kjellman:

Does anyone know when the team will be announced? Or at least the players who will move on to the next round of tryouts?

On the broadcast, they said there will be several additional tryout sessions. Don’t recall when the last one will be, but I think it is next year. They may not make the final cut to 18 until after that session.

There was talk that they will or may cut the team to 36 after the current session, or maybe the one at the end of June.

As I recall in the past, they usually announce the cuts (or rather who has survived) pretty soon after the decisions are made. Makes sense that they would put that info out ASAP because word of who is still on the training team and who was cut will leak out quickly.

Edit: re-listened to the part of the broadcast where they discussed the cut downs. They said they are probably going to cut to 36 after this weekend.

WOW! The HEAT and accuracy on these shots from Charlotte North at tryouts!

That was a Spallina deal.

I don’t know if you have a Twitter account or not, but it’s a great way to keep your finger on the pulse.

Nice. @kylieohlmiller. https://www.instagram.com/p/CP8KPF-FUbE ... hare_sheet

Remarkable; the hand-switching and footwork is just beautiful, top say nothing of the shot.

Maybe someday she’ll get some “elite” coaching finally!!!

Good God, imagine having to cut players from this list of 36 or 40?

OK, Cletus, your job is to provide a list of those who were cut for the rest of us who are too lazy to do so.

Haha... and I can’t think of a clever comeback
