Anyone else see this? Any repercussions for Indy players/team?

Nothing is going to happen. He is just going to to keep doing it and hopefully he does something this stupid at a showcase event.

Showcase event? hahaha that kid isnt getting recruited. He is 5'6 120lbs.

It was a defender who was thrown out towards the end of the game not the coaches son.

Question to Indy parents - does it bother you that the whole team has a trash reputation when 99% of the behavior comes from one kid who is never held accountable?

That is definitely a slight exaggeration but he is no bigger than 5'8 135.

All of this chatter about players being thrown out etc are just false.

The refs had full control of the game and while it was physical, not even close to normal spring ball.

For those not at the game, take these comments about cheap shots, ejections, etc as just false and internet chatter.

I will say that there were penalties called on each side but nothing that far out of the ordinary.

One of the Indy attack, not sure if it was the so-called slasher, was throwing some reckless checks and got called for a slash to the head. I didn't see anyone get thrown out.

Agree with this. Nothing out of the ordinary. Indy is a decent team. Gave Langley a much closer game than Yorktown. Looks like Yorktown and Indy play this week and I would not be shocked if Indy beat Yorktown.

I can confirm this. Yes it was the same attack/ coach kid.
Yes he is too wild with the stick, nothing new.

Yes a slash, yes hit the helmet, overly dangerous- no. Seen this 1000x before yes- from many players that don’t know how to play D.

Penalty called and that would have been the extent of the rough play.

you could debate whether he is 125 or 135, but either way he plays scared. he won't fight for a ground ball or initiate any contact (other than slashing) in high school, so hard to see how he would play in college, even at the club level.

You could be 6’4 250#

BUT if you have a bad attitude, take cheap shots, yell at opponents and refs, give stupid penalties, AND have an over involved dad who works against coaches and tries takes over and get you fired

WELL, you will not only get no looks but coaches talk and they will RUN from you!

Different Langley parent here. According to my son, the Indy player was trash talking and skirmishing after game ended but before the handshake line, which resulted in the ref announcing that he is ejected from the NEXT game. This happened at the scorers table which is why parents are not aware of it. But from the parent sideline I could hear this player running his mouth the whole game. For Yorktown's sake, I hope that VEL upholds the ref's decision, so they can have reasonably clean game without one kid trash talking and taking cheap shots all over the field.

This is exactly what I heard... We will see if VEL and Indy uphold the officials ruling....

Just for full disclosure and what your son probably didn't offer was that there was plenty of trash talking being done on both sides throughout the game. I was there and could clearly hear it from the sidelines. I'm not going to say that it is part of the game and personally am not a fan of it as I think it shows poor sportsmanship. However, glass houses/stones. This forum makes it sooo easy to get on an anonymous soapbox and gang up on a team/specific players. Everyone needs to relax a little bit. Especially if you are relying on second hand information from your son. Let VEL handle it and move on.

I actually thought it was a pretty good game given the amount of starters that weren't there on both sides.
