MAINE MARINERS MEDIA GUIDE 2019-20 12 PORTLAND HOCKEY HISTORY The Original Maine Mariners (1977-1987) Professional hockey in Portland has a rich history, dating back to the 1970s, when the original Maine Mariners were brought to town by the same franchise that owns the modern Mariners, the Philadelphia Flyers. The “first” Mariners began play in the 1977-78 season as the AHL affiliate of the Flyers and played their first game in Portland on October 15th, 1977. The Mariners took the league by storm, win- ning the Calder Cup after a 43-28-9 regular season and defeating the New Haven Nighthawks for the title. They followed up the impressive feat by repeating as Calder Cup Champions the following season, going 45-22-13 and taking down New Haven once again in the finals. The Mariners are still the only franchise in AHL history to win the Calder Cup in each of ts first two seasons. Prior to the 1983-84 season, the Flyers sold the affiliation to the New Jersey Devils, and the Mariners pulled off more “first year” magic, winning their third Cup, despite the fran- chise’s first regular season losing record (33-36-11). They defeated the Rochester Amer- icans in the Calder Cup Finals to capture their third championship. It also marked their fifth finals appearance in seven seasons of existence.

Maine Mariners, Second Franchise (1987-1992) Following the 1986-87 season, the Devils relocated their AHL franchise to Utica, NY, opening the door for the Bruins to take geographical advantage of the Portland market and place their top affiliate in town – an AHL expansion fran- chise. The Bruins preserved the team name and its logo, making only a color scheme change from Flyers black-and-orange to Bruins back-and-gold. Remark- ably, it appeared that the Mariners were going to pull off yet another first year run to the Cup, finishing with the best record in the North Division (44-25-7-4), but they were ousted by the Fredrickton Express in the Division Finals. The 1987-88 season would be the only successful one for the Bruins iteration of the Mariners, who failed to finish above .500 or make the in any of their four proceeding seasons. After the 1991-92 cam- paign, the Bruins moved the franchise to Providence, Rhode Island, where it still operates today. The last Maine Mariners AHL game took place on April 4th, 1992. (1993-2016) After just one season without hockey at the Cross Insurance Arena, the Wash- ington Capitals moved their AHL affiliate from Baltimore, Mary- land to Portland, and the Pirates were born. Enjoying tremendous success on and off the ice right away, the Pirates did what only the Mariners could do before them, and won the Calder Cup in 1993-94: their first season. , head coach of the 2018 Stanley Cup Champion served as the bench boss, leading the Pirates to a 43-27-10 regular season mark and a six-game victory over the in the championship series. Trotz would serve as head coach until 1997. The Pirates returned to the Calder Cup Finals in 1995-96, but lost to the in seven games. Although the Pirates would remain in Portland for ten more seasons, they would never make a return to the finals. In the summer of 2005, the Pirates switched parent clubs from the Capitals to the Ana- heim Ducks, an affiliation that would last for three seasons. In 2008, a new relationship began with the Buffalo Sabres that would last through the end of the 2010-11 season, af- ter which the Sabres reunited with Rochester. The move ushered in the Phoenix Coyotes era, which spanned four seasons. During what would be their final season in Portland (2015-16), the Pirates were affiliated with the . On May 4th, 2016, it was announced that the Pirates had been sold with intent to relocate the franchise. Less than two weeks later, the move to Springfield, became official. Maine Mariners, ECHL (2018-pres) Pro hockey returned to the Cross Insurance Arena in 2018-19, two seasons after the de- pature of the Pirates. This third version of the Mariners is owned by Comcast Spectacor and operated on the business side by the Philadelphia Flyers, while serving as an affiliate club of the New York Rangers and AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack. A full timeline of the events leading up to and through the inaugural season can be found on pages 9 and 10 of this media guide.
