PORTLAND, ME – Aug 27, 2024 – The Maine Mariners announced their full schedule of theme nights for the 2024-2025 season on Tuesday. The sixth season of Mariners hockey, which begins on Friday, October 18^th, is presented by Hannaford to Go.

The season kicks off with “Mariner Mayhem” on opening weekend against the Wheeling Nailers on Friday, October 18^th and Saturday, October 19^th. Friday’s home opener is presented by Evergreen Credit Union and features a magnet schedule giveaway, presented by Portland North Dental. A pre-game block party will take place on Center St. on Saturday afternoon, with a postgame full-team autograph session following the game in the Saco & Biddeford Savings Hall of Fame Lounge.

“We can't wait for the season to get started and opening weekend is certainly reason to celebrate,” said Mariners President Adam Goldberg. “We have 36 home games, but these first couple games always feel different after a long offseason. It will be exciting to see the players hit the ice and happy to have an early season autograph session where fans can get to know the new faces. There is just nothing better than going to a hockey game in Maine.”

As the season-opening homestand continues the following weekend – the first Three Dollar Deweys “Threekend” of the season is also “Halloweekend” against the Norfolk Admirals and Worcester Railers. The weekend concludes with Affiliation Day on Sunday, October 27^th, which will be the on-ice debut of the new alternate jerseys.
