Maine Mariners

After the Portland Pirates left the city in 2016, there was a huge hockey puck-sized hole in the hearts of Maine hockey fans. Then, in 2018 the Cross Insurance Arena welcomed hockey back with the return of Maine Mariners.

Yes, the return of the Mariners! The Maine Mariners actually pre-dated the Portland Pirates having started in 1977 and being replaced by the Portland Pirates after the 1992 season.

The Boston Bruins affiliate is now gearing up for the 2021-2022 season after the pandemic kept players off the ice for the 2020-2021 season.

The Maine Mariners home opener at the Cross Insurance Arena is scheduled for Friday, October 22nd against the Worcester Railers, the New York Islanders affiliate.
