The Maine Girls team prepares to keep their season going on Thursday night at 6:30 PM at Fifth Third Ice Arena. They earned their spot in the quarterfinals with a thrilling overtime victory. It will be a good match up with top ranked Chicago Latin. Good luck girls, keep it up!!!

Unfortunately games will not be played this year out of an abundance of caution. The Chicago Blackhawks have promised to honor these incredible athletes at a future game. That does not lessen the importance of honoring those who were voted onto the All-State team by the High School coaches.
Congratulations! We’re so proud of you!
Check out our next play off game vs Latin Thursday March 3rd at 6:30pm Fifth Third Ice Arena!
Go Maine Girl's!

As everyone knows, Maine Hockey can only thrive with the support of parent volunteers. We would like to acknowledge one of those volunteers that has gone above and beyond this season, and made a significant contribution to the teams on ice success this year. Pete has dedicated his time this year to take charge of the off ice conditioning for the varsity team, essentially serving as a strength and conditioning coach. At least once a week he has worked with the players, helping them become stronger, faster, and better conditioned. The results have been noticeable as the team has continued to improve throughout the season, and helped forge Maine in to one of the top teams in the state. Thank you Pete for your contributions this year. You made us better, faster, and stronger. #RollMaine.
