PORTLAND (AP) – Portland Pirates head coach Kevin Dineen was charged with drunken driving after a night out with coaches and players two days after the team was eliminated from the American Hockey League playoffs.

Dineen was arrested at about 2 a.m. Friday while driving on Ocean Street in South Portland, according to South Portland police. He was taken to the Cumberland County Jail and released at 4 a.m. after posting $200 bail.

Earlier Thursday night, Dineen met with players at the Cumberland County Civic Center for the last time before splitting up for the summer after the team was knocked out of the AHL playoffs earlier this week. Dineen then went out with his coaching staff and some players.

Police declined to comment on why they stopped Dineen or whether sobriety tests were administered.

Dineen wouldn’t talk about his arrest, but said he’d been going on only a few hours of sleep over the past few days.

“I’ve talked an awfully lot about decision-making the past two days,” Dineen told the Portland Press Herald. “I guess it’s time I stopped talking and made some decisions of my own.”

Dineen, who played in the National Hockey League for 18 years, just finished his first year as coach for the Pirates. He has two years remaining on his contract with Anaheim, the NHL affiliate of the Pirates.

Brian Burke, executive vice president and general manager for the Mighty Ducks, issued a statement that said the Ducks “are disappointed by what appears to be a case of poor judgment.”

“We apologize to the people of Portland, and at the same time, continue to support Kevin Dineen as head coach of the Pirates,” he said.

Under Maine law, first-time offenders face a minimum 90-day license suspension and a $400 fine if convicted, according to the Maine Department of Public Safety.
