UMaine Hockey to play three games in Portland, media report
The Portland Press Herald and WABI (Channel 5) reported the University of Maine men’s ice hockey team will play three games at Cross Insurance Arena in Portland next season. The Black Bears will play Boston College, Notre Dame and Brown University at the arena. “Typically we try to play a game in Portland every year,” Seth Woodcock, the associate director of athletic development at UMaine, told the Press Herald. “Red (Gendron, UMaine’s head coach) does a great job with the schedule to bring quality opponents to Portland. And with the Pirates out, we saw an opportunity to bring great hockey to Portland.” Woodcock said more details, including dates and ticket information, will be released Friday.
