Over the weekend, the Maine Moose 18U team that plays out of Camden National Bank Ice Vault in Hallowell captured the United States Premier Hockey League 18U American Division title. The Moose defeated the Palmyra Black Knights 4-3 Sunday in York, Pennsylvania in the American final.
Two Lewiston-Auburn area connections were on the team, in Jacob Lewis of Auburn and Nate Marcotte of Sabattus. Lewis had an assist on Cameron Rizzo’s (West Gardiner) game-winning goal in the third period.
“We had a young team and coach (Matt) Lavallee does a good job with that group,” Maine Moose owner and Twin City Thunder co-owner Ben Gray said. “It’s a tough league and I was really impressed with how they went down and played really good hockey and came away with the championship.”

MASON CITY, Iowa – In October 2019, the North Iowa Bulls – currently a member of the North American 3 Hockey League – were sold to F&S Management and owners Alberto Fernandez and Robert Sweeney. The business partners were drawn to Mason City and the Bulls for a couple of things Fernandez told KIOW in 2019.

Maine scored twice in the first period and added another goal in the third period to notch a 3-2 win over Maryland in a North American Hockey League contest at the Ice World Arena in Edgewood, Maryland.
“When they scored on us to spoil the shutout (on Monday), it was the best thing that could have happened to us,” Maine Nordiques associate head coach Matt Pinchevsky said. “It put our team in the right frame of mind and focused on what they came to do on a different, completely different day.”
The win puts the Nordiques (18-9-1, 37 points) in first place in the East Division, two points ahead of the Johnstown Tomahawks while the third-place Black Bears (12-8-5, 29 points) fall eight points back of the Nordiques.
