Black Bears hockey update: rivalry week, new ticket system
ORONO, Maine (WABI) – It’s time for the latest Maine-New Hampshire Border Battle in men’s hockey.
The No. 7 Black Bears will be visiting the No. 19 Wildcats this time.
Maine will be trying to win its fourth-straight game in the rivalry.
“They’re a hard-working team. I think it comes down to our habits, details, and structure of play. I think that’s something we’ve been very disciplined on this year. I think that’s kind of why we’ve been able to edge out the games against them,” said Ben Poisson, graduate forward.
Both Friday and Saturday puck drops in Durham are at 7 p.m.
The Black Bears and Wildcats are on NESN and ESPN+ on Friday.
They’ll just be on ESPN+ on Saturday.
Maine women’s hockey is offering season tickets for the first time in program history coming up in 2024-25.
The Black Bears will become the seventh women’s team in Hockey East with a season ticket structure.
“I think it’s a great thing, for sure, for the whole program. It kind of gets our team out into the community more, selling tickets, raising the awareness of women’s sports. I think (fans) will see a very gritty, hard-working team. (We’re) adding some speed to our game, especially, moving the puck fast, and (we’re) just really a team that never gives up,” said Ida Kuoppala, fifth-year forward.
The Black Bears have 14 home dates next season.
Tickets go on sale on March 14.
Standard seats are $70 for half the season or $122 for the full season.

It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without a stop at the florist.
According to Fox Business, about 154 million flowers are sold during the week of Mother’s Day. So it’s safe to say it was a busy day for stores like Estabrook’s Maine Garden Center and Nursery.
Plenty of families stopped by to pick out flowers on Sunday, looking to choose the perfect bouquet for their moms.
“I think Mother’s Day is tradition, you know, and so it’s great to see families here. We have a lot of new families that have come today for the first time with their young children and their mother. Watching the young kids and seeing how excited they are—their eyes light up at all the beautiful flowers,” Tom Estabrook, president of Estabrook’s, said.
Estabrook says Mother’s Day tends to be a great kickoff to the spring season.
The Maine Baseball Team was swept by UMass Lowell in the weekend series, losing on Sunday 5-4.
UMaine scored 3 runs in the 5th inning and 1 in the 6th inning to lead 4-1, but the Riverhawks scored 2 runs in the 7th and then pushed across the tying and winning runs in the 9th inning for the win.
