NSB Arena to host Lady Black Bears
The Norway Savings Bank Arena will host an NCAA Division I women’s hockey regular season game between the University of Maine Lady Black Bears and Brown University on Friday, October 23 at 7 p.m.
The team is excited about their 2015-16 season and that it will include a trip to Auburn. “I know that this team will represent our university and state with pride,” said Maine Head Coach Richard Reichenbach. “They are tough, competitive, hungry, skilled, and ready for the challenge of moving this program forward.”
The Lady Black Bears roster includes Auburn native Taylor Landry, a two-year captain at Edward Little High School who scored 143 career-goals, 32 in her senior season.
“As a UMaine graduate, I’m excited to host the University of Maine’s Division I women’s hockey team and hope to see many fellow Black Bears at the game,” said Auburn Mayor Jonathan LaBonté. “More importantly, as mayor of the community that built this facility, in part because of the growing number of young women playing hockey, I’m proud to welcome Ms. Landry back to Auburn. I hope to see us fill the arena in support of her.”
For the game, the Lady Black Bears will wear special uniforms in pink camouflage to show their support for the fight against breast cancer. The uniforms will be auctioned off at a date to be determined.
General admission tickets are $5 and can be purchased by phone at 333-6688 or online at www.norwaysavingsbankarena.com.
