Heard they bought Breakers too.
In the 18 months since 3D bought Breakers, Breakers went from having a 2024, 2025, and 2026 team in the Top 100, to folding their 2024 team (now a 23/24 B squad), folding their 2025, folding their 2028 (and have still never fielded a 2029, 2030, or 2031 squad) and hoping that their 2026 squad carries the brand. The club is toast unless another local B/A/AA club folds first and Breakers can serve those kids.
Adding the cost and "corporate sports expertise" of 3 Step to Breakers did not do anybody any favors (except maybe Koopers, LTLC and True who all benefitted from mass defections at the A/AA level). There is a need for AA teams at the HS level where lower rostered HS players can get lots of PT and make an impact on the field.
Hopefully the 3 Step team assigned to Hawks does not take the same approach (aka "let the club die, thanks for the profitable Tournament LLC!!!) they did to Breakers.
