Welcome to the ECHL. Any thoughts from Maine as to how their inaugural ECHL game went, and did the quality of play meet an old AHL market's approval?
ever checked the facebook page, the team has..... there was absolutely no buzz about the franchise after Beacon was introduced, no media even knows they exist yet or bothered to cover them even in passing mention, might have a lot to do with Bruins/ALCS/NFLWelcome to the ECHL.

there's more than one media station in the city, it's no longer on radio eitherMariners lose home opener as hockey returns to Portland
Local news station covered the home opener, report said it was nearly a sellout.
terrestrial radio, BF, same with the two previous teams, and no 8 DID NOT mention them either Saturday or Sunday since Travis Lee was at the ALCS, AS was both Sports Directors of the other 2 stations..... MIXLR is online, not Atlantic Coast Communications, the previous rights holderMaine Mariners lose first game
Maine Mariners fall in home opener as hockey returns to Portland
Was covered by the other two major stations in Portland too.
Also the radio broadcast is free via Mixlr
MARINERS PARTNER WITH MIXLR FOR RADIO BROADCASTS - Maine Mariners
Mariners lost in Portland last night in a shoot-out, after tying the game up late in the 3rd. Of the new guys, St. Amant was very involved, and Verbeek showed good speed and hands. It will be interesting to see whether Halverson or Nell can raise their level of play, otherwise this team will have trouble stringing together wins,.
Mariners made several transactions on Monday, starting with defenseman Alex Adams being place on waivers to be released. Garett Cecere was placed on reserve, Riley Bourbonnais was put on IR and the Wolf Pack assigned defenseman Sean Day to Maine.
Day appeared in six games with the Wolf Pack, going scoreless. Day won the 2017 Memorial Cup as a member of the Windsor Spitfires.
Damn that really sucks for Sean Day, from being granted Exceptional Player status in the OHL to ECHLer...
If anything, it's surprising this doesn't happen more often. It's pretty hard to project how a 15 year old is going to play against 19 year olds, much less how he's going to play as a 20 year old playing against grown men...
