The Golden, Northern and United leagues are merging.

If nothing else, this just further displays how far the Northern League has fallen. They bungled the Alberta expansion badly and have been decimated by inept management ever since.
The idea of being a bunch of regions within a league is interesting, as I could see a recreation of the Canadian Baseball League coming out of this. Drop a team in Saskatchewan and a second in BC, add Winnipeg and you have a six team region, all Canadian.
