Cole Currier, Maine Jr Mariners, #1, Goalie
Being a part of the Maine Jr Mariners has been a dynamic experience. Ice hockey is demanding and challenging. This program rises to that challenge. I have been able to continue playing the sport I love at a higher level while being presented with opportunities that may have not been possible otherwise. Everyone is held to a high standard and held accountable for everything we do. I have formed great friendships while learning self-discipline, leadership, teamwork, sportsmanship, while overcoming challenges and frustrations. Head Coach Lebowitz with the support of assistant coaches has given me instruction on how to become the best goalie, teammate and human possible and supports me each step of the way.
Why Choose Jr Mariners
Academics, Student Life, Rink and Coaching Staff.
01
Academic
The high school years are a pivotal point in a student-athlete's life. The Maine Jr Mariners Academy is an innovative way to incorporate the pursuit of hockey development along with achieving academic success. Whether in pursuit of future NCAA opportunities in the classroom, or on the ice, it is imperative that the emphasis is applied to individual development during these formidable years.
Our Academy's model is to provide an environment that eliminates the time, logistics, and frustration association with balancing hockey training, and educational advancement. Our goal is to encourage, to support and partner with our students in order to develop their mental, physical, athletic and scholastic development.
02
Teams
The Maine Jr. Mariners U8, U10, U12, U14, U15, U16, U18 and a U19 Girls team will play in the Beast League, NGHL, Elite Prospect Cup and United Tier 1 Hockey League. All three leagues are premier midget leagues in North America and play the best competition. The 18U AAA(National Bound) team is owned and operated by the Maine Jr. Mariners LLC. We will be working in tandem with multiple NAHL and EHL teams to offer players the chance for in-season promotions that very few teams can complete with.
03
Student Life
As a student-athlete at Maine Jr. Mariner Academy, our students reside in St. Joseph's College dorm facilities, attend Busche Academy or take level 100 classes at St. Josephs College to keep you NCAA eligible, and train and practice up to five times a week. You also have the opportunity to continue with any schooling you may be currently enrolled in. By providing all of these vital components within one program plus having current NCAA Hockey coaches on staff eliminates the hurdles associated with NCAA eligibility, long drive times to practice, late study hours, homeschooling options, or living without familiar billets.
04
Rink
The Biddeford Ice Arena and University Southern Maine are the home to the Maine Jr. Mariners. The rink is also home to two local High School teams Thorton Academy & Biddeford High School. There is a lounge with a restaurant for your student athlete before and after practice.
University of Southern Maine is home to the Huskies Mens and Womens NCAA Hockey Taeams.
