The Winter Showdown provided teams a platform to keep skills sharp all winter long and the competition lived up to that mantra week in and week out.
The expanded event, which is now for teams U9-U12, started in mid-January and concluded with a thrilling final day on March 7. Players brought desire and technique throughout the competition that took place at the state-of-the-art Stony Brook Athletic Complex on the campus of Stony Brook University.
“This year the Winter Showdown was bigger and better, we ended up with seven divisions of play between boys and girls from U9 to U12,” LIJSL Technical Director Ronan Wiseman said. “The level of competition and consistency of play led to an exciting finale in all of the age groups. We’re all looking forward to next year’s event.”
