Are Elevate and Liberty considering merging? Is that just your opinion or do you know if there have been discussions. I know that elevate played at a liberty tournament this weekend and did very well. Again - is this a prediction or fact?
To be clear, this was opinion on our part. It is clear to us that Team Elevate has aspirations of expanding and continuing the growth of their Global Lacrosee alliance. It is also clear that the Long Island Liberty has been lower key over recent years with a focus on their Black Diamond brand in addition to their local programs. BOTC saw a combination of the two to be an excellent jump start to forming a third powerhouse organization on Long Island.
Do we need a third powerhouse? Probably not since it only takes two to create true competition. However, this would create an extremely interesting Nassau/Suffolk dynamic in girls club lacrosse.
The key point in our prediction however is the Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan aspect. Eventually, a club will pull together lacrosse athletes from that broader region and be able to create a regional contender overnight.
