“The staff gets asked a lot 'what do you do in the offseason?',” said Mariners President Adam Goldberg. “We are all hard at work making sure the 2024-25 Maine Mariners season is fun, exciting and successful on and off the ice. We have to wait for the on-ice part, but this is a good start to let fans know about some of the fun we have planned. This is just the start and it makes waiting until October even harder.”
The Mariners 2024-25 season presented by Hannaford to Go, begins on Friday, October 18th with the Home Opener against the Wheeling Nailers at 7:15 PM, presented by Evergreen Credit Union.
