PORTLAND, ME – July 1, 2024 – The Maine Mariners announced the signing of forward Brooklyn Kalmikov of Monday, the second player to join the 2024-25 roster. Kalmikov ranked third on the Mariners in points and goals last season, which was his first in Maine.

Kalmikov added two points in the seven-game playoff series against Adirondack.

Prior to turning pro, he played in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for Cape Breton, Victoriaville, and Moncton.
The son of former pro hockey player Konstanin Kalmikov, Brooklyn was born in St. John’s, Newfoundland and is now 23 years old.
“The coaching staff there, and all the staff around the team are incredible,” said Kalmikov. “And the fans cheering us all year is pretty fun. We always have good crowds even on weekdays. The people around the city are amazing too.”
