The Long Island Checkmate team is not the real team. I was going to join but found out it is not the real checkmate team. The long island checkmate stole the name and have a VERY BAD NAME AND REPUTATION NOW. They are a team bunch of want to beees.... Are they for real trying to make a team with someone else's reputation....
Now I found out there is a lawsuit against them for stealing the Checkmate name. My son Russ was very upset up this why did they do this? I want other lacrosse players to know what kind of fake team this is. They don't have a real name so what kind of real team can it be. So go head and let them know the heat is on and that they have ruined themselves before they even started. Lacrosse players will not accept this. We will make sure we will distance ourselves from this fake checkmate team. I am extremely disappointed in this kind of action and I am sure the response of other lacrosse players will feel the same.
The case in matter is the person who is using the checkmate name is trying to go off their reputation and what they have become. Instead of getting a name on their own and making it. They are trying to make believe they are the established Checkmate team when they are not. As a parent of boys this is very disturbing and something needs to be done so other players being recruited are not thinking this is the official Checkmate team with the original coaching staff.
