LEWISTON — Two. Twenty-three. Four. Lewiston’s shots-on-goal totals by period Monday night were almost symmetrical, but hardly balanced. They told much of the tale in a girls’ hockey showdown at Androscoggin Bank Colisee.

AHL: Penguins ice Pirates
LEWISTON — The Portland Pirates’ streak of points at home is over after another “discouraging” result, this time without the safety net of a shootout. Simon Despres led the way with two goals, Philip Samuuelsson added a goal and three assists and Eric Hartzell made 27 saves to help lift the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins to a […]

AHL: Falcons top Pirates in shootout
LEWISTON — For the seventh time this season, the Portland Pirates took a home game to a shootout, and for the seventh home game in a row, they earned at least a point. What they needed — and didn’t get — was a win. Cody Goloubef sniped the top corner of the cage over the […]

Winter games roll through Friday
LEWISTON — It’s for charity, sure. But it’s still hockey. The Colisee was host to all-day hockey Friday and there was no shortage of the ugliness hockey fans have come to love. The late checks, the high sticks, the elbows placed just so. These were cops playing against other cops, after all, and soldiers battling […]

AHL: Pirates back home, look for more success
The Portland Pirates are getting to the point where they meed almost as many seats in the stands for their injured players as they do roster spots for those on the ice. Despite low numbers — the Pirates dressed only 17 skaters in a loss to Worcester last weekend — the team is churning ahead, […]

Girls’ hockey: Landry, Leavitt-Little blank Biddeford
AUBURN — Once the Taylor Landry Show is on, if you’re a Leavitt/Edward Little girls’ hockey opponent, it’s the equivalent of a guilty-pleasure reality program or a chain-reaction crash that just happened on the highway. You want to shut it off, or look away, but you can’t. Biddeford experienced Wednesday what Landry’s rivals on the […]

Boys’ hockey: Gardiner gets first win at Leavitt’s expense
AUBURN — At times Wednesday night, Leavitt’s defense didn’t respond quickly enough. In another split second, the Hornets were just too eager. The end result was a costly 4-2 Western Class B boys’ hockey loss to previously winless Gardiner at Norway Savings Bank Arena. “We keep losing ground to people that are behind us,” Leavitt […]

LEWISTON — Another home game, another point for the Portland Pirates. Despite blowing a three-goal, second-period lead, the Pirates held on to earn a point against the visiting Norfolk Admirals in a 5-4 shootout loss at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Friday. “I liked our game, I liked our work ethic, I liked the way […]

Jet-lagged Pirates set for another 3-in-3
For the second time in less than a week, the Portland Pirates had problems getting to where they wanted to go, and it had nothing to do with their play on the ice. The front end of a scheduled series in St. John’s, Newfoundland was pushed back last weekend after a storm gripped the northeaster […]
