When Auburn sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing pickup trucks. They’re bringing SUVs. They’re bad drivers. And some, I assume, are good drivers”

Turn off the heat and you'll have a basement hockey rink in no time

It's the Portland -South Portland-Lewiston Combined Statistical Area.

So that's the entirety of Cumberland, Androscoggin, Sagadahoc, and York counties.

This is not exactly something that's Portland specific.

As far as the level of play goes, the Pirates played in the AHL, which is professional hockey a step below the NHL.

The Mariners play in the ECHL, which is the professional league a step below the AHL.

The Lewiston team plays in the NAHL, which is tier II junior hockey, similar to Junior A in Canada. So that's a step below the OHL/WHL/QMJHL (the league the Maniacs used to play in).

Lewiston will be younger players (16-21), but both leagues are probably pretty comparable skill wise, and they're both fun. It's hockey! Grab a beer and go cheer for our local teams!

Ah, yes. I could see LePage pulling a page out of Rob Ford's book.
