The Maine Mariners are the ECHL affiliates of the Boston Bruins. We will begin play in October 2018 and play in the Cross Insurance Arena located in downtown Portland, Maine. The ECHL is the premier "AA" hockey league and feeds players directly into the AHL and NHL levels. Our mission is to connect with the city of Portland, Cumberland County and the entire Maine region to give them a team they are proud of both on and off the ice.
