Women’s Ice Hockey
Orono, Maine – The University of Maine women’s ice hockey team will wear an alternate third jersey for its ‘Maine State Pride’ game against Merrimack on Dec. 14 at the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, Maine at 6 p.m. The jerseys were made possible through a valued partnership with KeyBank.
"KeyBank is proud to partner with University of Maine Athletics and celebrate the rich traditions that bring our community together," said KeyBank Maine Market President, Tony DiSotto. "Seeing the Black Bear Women wear the Maine State Pride jerseys creates a powerful symbol of unity and our shared commitment to showcasing the best of Maine."
The jersey features Maine’s iconic columbia blue color scheme with white pine trees highlighted along the bottom. The Maine script logo is displayed on the front in the center of the jersey. On the shoulders of the jersey are the Maine Bear Head logo patches with a ‘BLACK BEARS’ nameplate on the back of each jersey.
"We could not be more grateful for KeyBank and their support," said head coach Molly Engstrom. "Through their interest and efforts, KeyBank has provided another avenue for our program to connect with the community, which means a lot to us. We can’t wait to sport the new jerseys in Portland."
The inspiration for the jersey stemmed from the state of Maine’s emphasis and importance of the forestry industry. Women’s ice hockey and the School of Forest Researchers have collaborated on the design to highlight the forestry industry in Maine.
“As a School, we are committed to educating the next generation of leaders in forest stewardship," said Adam J. Daigneault, Ph.D., Director of the School of Forest Resources at the University of Maine. "This partnership highlights our shared values of dedication, perseverance, and a deep connection to the natural and cultural heritage of Maine."
