Maine Mariners Tickets

Maine Mariners

Portland's professional hockey club has grown into one of the ECHL's steadier northeastern operations since its 2018 debut, built on forechecking pressure and a working-harbor identity. Under first-year head coach Rick Kowalsky, the 2025-26 roster set a franchise record with 93 points, finishing 42-21-6-3 and second in the North Division. Maine Mariners tickets put you close to fast, physical hockey. Scan the Maine Mariners schedule on Event Tickets Center.

The ECHL Affiliate of the Providence Bruins

Development is the whole point at this level, and Portland sits directly beneath the American Hockey League's Providence Bruins and, above them, the Boston Bruins. Boston extended that agreement in September 2025 through the 2027-28 season, so prospects keep moving along the same track. Players who produce in Portland have a clear path to Providence, and call-ups move in both directions through the season. Fans who follow the pipeline can also find Providence Bruins tickets for the next rung up.

Maine Mariners at Cross Insurance Arena

Downtown Portland's arena opened in 1977 and still feels purpose-built for hockey, with seating wrapped tight around the ice and almost no bad sightline in the building. The concourse leans hard on Maine breweries, and the crowd skews toward families and regulars who know one another by row. Cross Insurance Arena sits within walking distance of the Old Port, which makes a pregame dinner easy.

Maine Mariners Schedule

The ECHL year is made up of 72 regular-season games, and the 2026-27 slate runs from mid-October to April 11, 2027. Maine opens on the road at an away game against the Worcester Railers on October 17, 2026, then hosts them at home on October 24, 2026, in a rivalry that carries its own trophy in the annual VIP Rivalry Cup. The Maine Mariners hockey schedule stacks those meetings early, giving the season an immediate edge.

Maine Mariners Kelly Cup Playoffs

A long wait ended in May 2026, when the Mariners beat the Adirondack Thunder 3-1 in Game 7 to claim the first Kelly Cup Playoffs series win in franchise history. The North Division Finals against the Wheeling Nailers also went the distance, with Maine taking a 3-2 series lead before falling 4-3 in a road Game 7. No Kelly Cup banner hangs in Portland yet, and that spring made the goal feel reachable.

Deep postseason runs are still new here, and much of the group that produced one is back, with a core group from that run returning under contract.
