Were a recognized top-level crew who is considering many options this year. We could either recruit from the people who are looking to change teams or we could combine with an existing team that has a core of dedicated people looking to make a push for Macau.

Our potential merger partner doesnt have to be an A-level team (although that would be nice), but it must have a solid group of fit individuals who want to dedicate themselves to compete for the CCWC.

Since this would be a two-party process we dont have much more in the way of details to provide. Any teams who may be interested are invited to email us at: dbmerger@gmail.com

Please be assured that we will keep all communication confidential and we expect the same from any who contact us.

We will not be answering question on this forum. If you have questions, please email us at the address provided.

We're a GTA-based team.

hmmm, let the rumours run rampant

I hear that Mayfair and Sudbury were considering a merger.

Piranhas + Big Fish = Fish

Fish DBC

Done.

Two paddling greats such as Rob Chang and Stan Mahacek together forever!

All you need is Delilah at the drum and oh baby.

LOL...throw in the Hammerheads and the Killer Guppies from L.A. Then you'd call it the "Ocean DBC"

Seriously now, its a serious request. Let's not pollute the thread too much.

"Two paddling greats such as Rob Chang and Stan Mahacek together forever!"

Tooting your own horn? Please.

I'm not saying its either rob or stan but somebody putting their buddies on a pedestal. I'm not saying they're not great. This statement just isnt necessary but again this is the forum so a sh*t storm is a ah-brewing.

Mayfair and Sudbury? What is the incentive for Mayfair to merge with any club from Ontario? Unless it is just to bring their average age down.

I didn't write that. Quite frankly I don't think I am at Stan's level at all.
It's an honour that someone would write my name beside his though.

Guys let's place nice, ok?

Both Rob and Stan are incredible paddlers who have given back endlessly to the sport of paddling which has given them so much.

Rob and incredible paddler...C'mon. INCREDIBLE ar world champs and Olympians. Rob is none of the above.

Wow. Bring up a name and he/she gets attacked. Hey poster above. You're an a-hole for cowardly attacking from the shadows. What have YOU done?

This forum needs people to register - there is no need to bash Rob behind an anonymous guise and I'm sure Rob would agree.

Rob doesn't agree, or else he would've made everyone register on this forum a long time ago!

oooooooooooh, somebody is opening a can of worms

Mayfair wants to merge with the Canadian Senior Team so that they can bring down their average age.

Good to see Mayfair back in the discussion...I'm sure they were feeling a bit neglected....

Having done both, I prefer recruiting. Mergers are harder than you may think. You would think that teams at around the same level will have similar values, but they can in fact be quite different.

The other team had/has a different coach, different captain (or team executive), different standards, etc. Whose standards will you adopt? Who will coach? Could YOU live with THEIR ideology? Can they live with yours? For many things there is no middle ground, so it can't all be compromise.

I think it's easier in the long run to recruit people who want to be a part of what your team has to offer. No negotiation, no middle grouund, just one set of standards.

"This is who we are, this is what we do. Accept it and join us, or move along and have a nice day."

I think the success of a merge depends on the teams in question and how far apart they are, as well as their attitude entering the merger. You can't generalize mergers since each one will be different. If both teams come in with the understanding that they are creating a new team - and not negotiating between two old teams - you probably have fewer problems.

I agree however that history has shown that mergers are not the panacea that some might think. Nevertheless it may be a pretty good solution if your recruiting efforts fall short and you need a fix to prop up the competativeness of the crew - avoiding losing your best paddlers out of frusteration.

The merger is with Big Fish and a G Division Corporate Team with Sponsorship Money. Need we say more. They got their sponsorship Deal

I think it's Canadian Seniors looking for a partner....let the rumours swill.

I hear Mayfair and FCRCC are merging. They will be practicing out of Manitoba.

FUDGE!!!!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

"I hear Mayfair and FCRCC are merging" They are !! and even some Dragonbeasts and I believe they are called the " Canadian National Team "

I heard Mojos and CSDC are merging to form...

The Mojos.

I think it is the Reloaded and Thrusting Mofojos combining forces.

Are either of those crews "top level"??

I don't believe you Rob Chang.

Fess up you weenie.

I'll throw in my few cents and say it's the Wahoos. I noticed quite a few former Wahoos now paddling for Jetstart last summer, leaving Wahoos with a depleted roster.

Wahoos top level? Wahoo knew?

Ok I admit it.

The Piranhas have merged with the Hammerheads to create a new crew. UC and New have also merge. Thre is super team in coming?!

Children

All your mothers merged with your fathers and produced all you ugly asses

racist go back to macau

why is that racist?

I would be interested in any updates with this thread...

At 1:22pm, someone asked for an update.

Now you are updated.

Oh, burn!!!

Big Fish and Mofos = Mo-Fish! Please let it be this one.

Na Mofo's refuse to change their stroke they are all beef no brains. Basically their technique is trash.

That was uncalled for. Mofos may not be a top team but they still warrant respect for their camaraderie, enjoyment of the sport, and their charitable efforts.

"Na Mofo's refuse to change their stroke they are all beef no brains. Basically their technique is trash."

But their posing is exceptional.

Antropov and Moore traded from the Leafs for two second round draft picks and a conditional draft pick.

Interesting way to rebuild a team.

I went to HS with Moore..he was so short and small in Grade 9 and then in the latter years of HS it was like wtf..how did you get so tall.

I guess we know which teams merged now... I wonder how many posts in here were anonymous bumps?

And these teams were....?

I'm thinking Scotia and Piranhas.

It couldn't have been, oh I don't know, The Alliance maybe?

Wongs and BMO

Wongs and BMO??? The original poster said they were a "GTA" team.

who cares?

If you don't care STFU and GTFO.
