Chuck—
Congratulations on your being named an honoree by the US Lacrosse Youth Council. Enjoy your evening at the awards ceremony in January—you deserve this honor for your tireless efforts to promote youth lacrosse in the Lower Hudson Valley. I have only seen you in action for the past 9 years, but I appreciate your dedication to the sport, and the opportunities it has presented to my son.
syosset chucky?? what is going on in this world? should put game on you tube, would get more plays than lsu-sc ref!
Tony Pinciaro talked to Chuck Cohen about his selection for the award and you can read all about it today in The Journal News and on LoHud.com. “Here’s the link.”:http://www.lohud.com/article/20081023/SPORTS05/810230456/1311/SPORTS05
Thank you Ric and Mr. Fox and all the others (the Syosset lax team didn’t have anything to do with it) for acknowledging my accomplishments and what I have enjoyed doing for the past 30 years. I really don’t hate Yorktown and I do think I know a little bit about the game.
Congratulations Chuck. You`ve earned every award you ever got, and deserve the recognition.
CONGRATS CHUCK

Please take a look at the league prices per team, then break that down to per player, and you see that the pricing is extremely affordable. My son worked part time in HS, now he just works summers in College, never had a problem paying his own way. I seem to remember about $50.00 per in the HS division and now $100.00 per in the Mens. I don`t think there`s many living in this area, that have a problem coming up with that per season. Dependable Refs always there on time, good fields, Local fields (minimal travel)and a League President (thats right, Chuck) who will always work with you to accomadate what your team needs (schedules, locations, times) He deserves every cent he earned, not took, earned. Pay up and play, it`s the best deal in town.
Why?
congrats to chuck and all of the fine work he has done and to all you morons who think chuck hates town really dont know the man
