Maine Men’s Hockey Focusing on Building Team Culture | Bangor Local Sports

The article discusses the Maine Men’s Hockey team’s offseason focus on character following a disappointing previous season. With 15 new players joining the roster, head coach Ben Barr emphasizes the positive energy and work ethic among the team. The Black Bears aim to regain their identity, characterized by hard work rather than just top-tier skill. Despite losing key players like Justin Poirier, the team believes the new roster’s mentality will make up for any loss in production. In goal, Albin Boija faces competition from transfer Petter Wickstrom Stumer, which Barr sees as beneficial for both players. Maine kicks off their season next Friday at Holy Cross.
