Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPDA? Stars?
First, PDA is the biggest, baddest team around but nobody would seriously call them skilled.
Stars? Somewhat, but as a Stars' parent once told me: We have big backs who launch it up to the fast forwards, and let them go get it. If we lose it, we press until we get it back. Not pretty, but seems to work."
Again, if that's considered skillfull to some, so be it. But, that comes directly from a Stars parent.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSecond hand info from one parent, that’s the standard to make an assumption about an entire Club?
Of the players I do know who play for them, that's there style. Hey, it works, they will get recruited by colleges playing a similar style. No reason to get offended.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOf course not. But, the comment came from the Stars parent is much closer than anyone else on here. A very good friend of mine made a statement about how his kid's team plays. It wasn't bragging, it wasn't insulting, just a shrug of "seems to work".

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNot necessarily true. One Stars parent commenting on their kid's specific team is indicative of that one Stars team, not the whole club. My D's team has played against multiple Stars teams, and based on the way ECNL schedules its games, we've had to opportunity to watch multiple Stars teams play. Didn't notice any particular lack of skills or tendency for defenders to launch the ball from those teams.
Again, much of the make-up of that team came from clubs my daughter had played with so I know first hand how those players play.
And, as mentioned, it's not a slam against them. Many are vocal of how many ECNL teams play, because their end goal is college and a vast majority of colleges play that way. They want strong, fast, active players, so that's what is pitched. It makes perfect sense. I'd do the same thing if I didn't care about "how" the game is played, only in that winning is the result.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI, too, have watched many Stars teams and my kid trained with them before declining their offer. It is what we saw, but since my opinion was from an outsider (as is yours) I offered up an insiders opinion.
