The Maine Mariners will start their new season on Saturday night in Worcester, facing the Railers.
The team's home opener is scheduled for Sunday afternoon against the Reading Royals.
One of the team's key strengths this season is their goaltending, featuring rookie Ethan Pearson, Luke Cavallin, who has a contract with the Bruins, and veteran Brad Arvanitis.
Brad Arvanitis, a Mariners veteran with 31 wins in 58 games, is one win away from the franchise record and says he's right where he wants to be.
