To New Beginnings
Trifecta Sports is dead….
I have been thinking about how to write this final post for a week now as this post closes the chapter of a website I started seven years ago in 2015. I started Trifecta with the purpose of getting writing experience by covering the teams that I had followed for years as a fan.
Over the years the content that we had covered and the writers writing it have changed. For a long time this site provided the best Pawtucket Red Sox coverage and some of the best soccer coverage coming out the state of Rhode Island.
Since the PawSox took their talents to Worcester it has been just me on the site covering a sport I absolutely love, soccer. Soccer has become our main focus and while the growth has been great the opportunity that came along just made too much sense.
I want to thank Justin, Evan, Stephen, Michael, and all the other writers who have written for Trifecta since its launch. I want to thank the countless readers that have been along for the ride as well.
Launching today is The Blazing Musket, the reincarnation of The Bent Musket. I will be joining forces with the great team at TBM on a new Substack that will provide fans with the very best soccer coverage in New England. From Maine to Rhode Island we will have you covered.
Teaming up makes a one stop shop for soccer content and ultimately I thought it was the best move for the fans and the coverage of the sport in New England. Growing the sport is important to me and giving its teams top tier independent coverage is vital to that.
So what is my role on this soccer dream team? Well for starters my New England Revolution notebooks will live on at TBM. Beyond that my written Revs content will likely go down. From a podcast perspective I will continue as the co-host of Revolution Recap alongside Greg and Sean. But more importantly I will be taking the lead on creating world class coverage of Rhode Island FC. RIFC launches next year and as fans know I have been there covering the project since its proposal stage back in 2018.
The Trifecta Substack will shutter in terms of paid subscription and all those who are paid will be refunded/canceled. Archives will remain online for fans looking for old content.
I encourage everyone to sign up at The Blazing Musket on a free subscription and if you can a paid subscription as it goes a long way in supporting independent soccer media.
Again, thanks to all for their support of Trifecta Sports and see you at TBM.
