What happens with DPL NE?

[Guest]

It also feels like there could be a big Aztec/SSS coup that impacts a couple of teams and regions and leagues.

You are all wrong. IFA is scooping up the Aztecs for their new IFA North Shore region.

I can't tell if this is tongue in cheek or you actually think this, but Aztec is owned by 3Step. Don't see how selling off an asset to a competing club fits their private equity model. They're looking to maximize investor return on exit (IIRC I read on here or somewhere that the exit date of their PE fund has been extended, but still). If anything I would think they roll it up into Seacoast. Already did something like that with LFC girls.

Everything you wrote would make perfect sense if the Tyngsboro situation hadn’t occurred. The coaches on the girls side are all leaving and from talking to a parent it appears that all of the players are also leaving. There doesn’t appear to be any plan to retain teams or players. They just lost an entire region and aren’t even trying to salvage it. From an investment perspective it’s shocking.

You're miss understanding. No one is giving 3step anything, they're just taking directors, coaches and players. The point is to screw 3step, not provide them anything.

Yes, I did misunderstand then. What you're describing isn't really scooping up Aztecs though. That's getting Aztec players to become change clubs and become former Aztec players.

I don’t know if there’s any truth to what the OP is saying or if it’s just fan fiction but, whether you think it’s watered down or not, with all the other clubs getting GA/ECNL/ECRL/DPL affiliations and Aztec having nothing but NAL and NECSL, with worse teams in it next year to boot, what did 3Step expect to happen?

[Guest]

Seacoast Mass / LFC will be in the DPL next year with their top teams. Their second teams will be NAL, if they have enough players left.

Confirmed to all clubs involved, but there's unlikely to be announcement because 3step don't want other regions panicking. You will see their name in the DPL schedules when they're released though.

3Step is going to have the top Seacoast MA/LFC team in DPL instead of the NAL when it owns and operates NAL?

Are they staying names seacoast ma? Or changing to LFC?

that’s specific to Aztec north not Aztec and Aztec north had never had a good league just expected it.

Yep, hand was forced by threats of a complete breakaway. LFC absorbed to become Seacoast MA

The point is about their North Shore location. All the other clubs around them moved on to GA/DPL/ECRL. Who wants to stay in NAL and play SSS’s 3rd team or Seacoast Ma/Liverpools second team when they already slaughter their first teams? If the players jump ship to DPL or wherever, who could blame them? And why are you bringing the North region into this conversation? Stop obsessing over them. It’s weird.

Yes LFC was absorbed into Seacoast MA South. They are telling families that they plan to have two Seacoast MA teams in top leagues. Not sure if that would be DPL, NAL or even the Seacoast owned EDP. They also said the goal is to have one of those teams eventually be a second GA team (after Epping).

But who threatened a breakaway? And what where they breaking away from?

PT, RJ and co from Seacoast and 3step.

Why would Seacoast MA put top teams in DPL? This doesn’t make sense, as it would be going against their owners, 3 Step. DPL is also trash and most of the best teams have left. The answer is that maybe Seacoast MA is looking for a league that they can claim is elite while not actually facing elite competition. Seacoast MA is really bad and they are desperately trying to keep it together with smoke, mirrors, and lots of duct tape. Combining with terrible LFC girls is a good example. 2 bad clubs full of bang average players. This is what the DPL. DPL is the Ocean State Job Lot of leagues right now. The home of misfits, extras, and unwanteds.
