            <p style="margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:justify; margin-right:0in; margin-left:0in">Leaders of the Frontier League and Can-Am League jointly announced Wednesday that the two leagues are merging.

The union will begin next season while 14 teams will compete in a calendar of 96 games.

Each team will play at least one series against each of its rivals on this new unified two-division circuit: Can-Am and Mid-West.

The full calendar will be released on Monday, October 21st.

The Ottawa Champions, who played in the Can-Am League, are not part of the merger. Only the Capitals of Quebec, the Eagles of Trois-Rivieres, the Miners of Sussex County, the Jackals of New Jersey and the Boulders of Rockland will join those of the Frontier League, which included nine clubs.

The league could however have 20 teams in 2021 and Ottawa to be part of the circuit.

The format of the series remains for the moment to be determined.

The Frontier League is the most senior independent professional baseball circuit in the United States. It began operations in 1993 and has just completed a 27th consecutive season.
