What does that mean?


I think its that Coppermine is trying to buy up or merge with smaller clubs to create many different "Coppermine" teams based on location in the same area.
Coppermine has only "merged" with Elite. Elite tried to merge years ago with Rip n Run (who then folded and all went to TLC White). So clearly, Coppermine is "merging" with a club that was already looking for a home for years. Coppermine is trying to build their name, they have the means to do it, so why not!

In addition to this merger, which resulted in Coppermine North, they also added Coppermine West and are holding supplemental tryouts this weekend to field as many teams as possible in all 3 locations. I'm guessing that's what they meant.

As PP said, though, they have the means, so why not?

Exactly. It's not a bad thing. Just know what you're getting. It doesn't always have to be about fielding elite teams. It's good business, really. The lower level teams help reduce costs for the upper tier teams. Kids of all levels still need a place to play.
