This tournament has been named in honor of Joe Coppo, who was a leader in New Canaan’s youth baseball and basketball and who died in the Tuesday, September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York. Joe was born in Baldwin, Long Island in 1953. He and his wife Pat moved to New Canaan with their four children in 1994.
