Orono, Maine -- The University of Maine athletic department is proud to once again bring to our service men and women its Military Appreciation Series, presented by Dead River Company. This partnership, in its fourth year, will provide the opportunity for the Black Bears to honor our military men and women at athletic events over the course of the 2018-19 season.

A major component of the Military Appreciation Series partnership with Dead River Company is to provide all military personnel, veterans and their immediate family members with complimentary tickets to each of the selected games.

The second game date in the Series will be the UMaine Men's Ice Hockey contest on Friday, Jan. 11 at 7:30 p.m. against Northeastern.

Military personnel and veterans with proper identification are asked to call the ticket office at 207-581-BEAR to reserve complimentary tickets for themselves and their immediate family members. Ticket(s) may also be picked up by visiting the UMaine Athletic Ticket Office, located in Alfond Arena.
