Can-Am League

|
The Canadian-American Association or Can-Am League is an independent minor league baseball league which operates in the Northeastern United States and the Canadian province of Québec. None of its member teams is associated with any Major League Baseball team.
The Northeast League was formed in 1995, but merged with a fellow independent league, the Northern League, in 1998. After the 2002 season, the Northeast League was reestablished as a separate league. For the 2005 season, the league reconstituted as the Can-Am League and acquired a new team in Worcester, Massachusetts, to replace the Allentown Ambassadors, who folded days before the 2004 season began and forced the league to field a traveling team called the Aces. The Bangor Lumberjacks, native to Bangor, Maine, folded only three weeks before the start of the 2005 season, forcing the team to create the traveling team The Grays.
