[quote=Anonymous][quote]CA and NE teams play 15 easy games per year and base their whole season on 2 or 3 games.[/quote]

You must be new to the sport or have an old Baltimore bias.

Having one kid graduate from an IAC school and the other played at boarding in the Founders League, I have some perspective on the sport. The New England West is one of the best if not the best lacrosse conference in the country. Avon, Deerfield, Choate, Salisbury, TAFT, Brunswick, just to name a few, all of these schools aggressively recruit for the "prep school sports. They have the big time facilities and scholarships to attract players. While I think Landon and GP have the depth, since they carry large rosters, I really don't think the other IAC schools could complete a full season in this conference. Its brutal and not to mention, its a much more physical conference. Not to mention , most of these schools bring in 3  - 6 PGs a year. Most post graduates by the way tend to be blue chip recruits.

I attended the Landon - Brunswick game last year, and even though Landon ended up winning by 4 - 5 goals (I can't remember), the Bears were in a physical mismatch. Brunswick was a much more physical team than Landon and their kids frankly were much bigger. I'm not trying to knock Landon at all, as they earned their top ranking last year but if you think New England teams only play 2 - 3 tough games a year and the league is easy, you clearly have not been around the sport much. Brunswick was the best team North of DC last year.
