MARINERS SIGN BROOKLYN KALMIKOV

PORTLAND, ME – July 19, 2023 – A new face was added to the Mariners roster on Wednesday, as they announced the signing of forward Brooklyn Kalmikov. Coming over from the Wheeling Nailers, Kalmikov was one of the top-scoring rookies in the ECHL last season.

In his rookie campaign with the Nailers, Kalmikov registered 52 points (23 goals, 29 assists) in 66 games. He finished second on the Nailers in overall point scoring, tied for first in assists, and ranked 12th among all ECHL rookie scorers. Kalmikov was on an American Hockey League deal with Wheeling’s affiliate – the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. He saw three additional games with them in 2022-23.

Kalmikov played in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for five seasons from 2017-2022, spending time with Cape Breton, Victoriaville, and Moncton. He finished with a bang, putting up 72 points (34 goals, 38 assists) in 62 games during his final season with Moncton. He also won a QMJHL Championship with Victoriaville in 2021.

A native of St. John’s, NL, Brooklyn is the son of a former pro, Ukrainian-born forward Konstantin Kalmikov. Konstantin played nearly 400 career games between the ECHL and AHL and was the ECHL’s Plus Performer of the Year in 2001-02 when he finished +43 while playing for the Louisiana Ice Gators. He was a 1996 third round pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs, but never made it to the NHL.

“I’m very excited to join the Mariners,” said Kalmikov.”I’ve heard great things about Maine and can’t wait to meet the fans and get the season started.”

Kalmikov joins returning forwards Cam Askew and Austin Albrecht on the 2023-24 roster, along with defenseman Connor Doherty.

The Mariners kick off their fifth ECHL season on October 20th, 2023 in Trois-Rivieres, QC against the Trois-Rivieres Lions, with the home opener presented by Evergreen Credit Union on Saturday, October 21st at 6 PM, also against the Lions. The full schedule for the 2023-24 season, presented by Hannaford to Go, can be viewed here. Full and half season packages plus 12-game plans are on sale now by calling 833-GO-MAINE or visiting the Mariners front office at 94 Free St. in Portland.
