MARINERS ADD DEFENSEMAN JUSTIN BEAN

PORTLAND, ME – Aug 7, 2024 – The Maine Mariners added to their blue line on Wednesday, announcing the signing of defenseman Justin Bean. A former member of three ECHL teams, Bean spent last season playing in Hungary.

Bean, 28, is from Pickering, ON and made his ECHL debut in January of 2022, when he joined the Cincinnati Cyclones. After being traded, he finished the season with the Wichita Thunder. In the following offseason, Bean signed with the Tulsa Oilers, where he spent the entire 2022-23 campaign. It was a productive season for Bean on the Oilers blue line, as dished out 20 assists to go along with four goals, playing in 71 of Tulsa’s 72 regular season games.

This past season, Bean played for DVTK Jegesmedvek in Hungary. There, he posted 13 points (4 goals, 9 assists) in 31 games, in addition to five points in six playoff contests.

Prior to turning pro, Bean played for York University (USports), where he was captain in 2021-22. He’s also a former captain of the Wellington Dukes of the Ontario Junior Hockey League. Bean also played in the Ontario Hockey League with the Belleville Bulls and Mississauga Steelheads. 

“I played in Portland a couple of years ago with Tulsa on the road and I really enjoyed the city,” said Bean. “I’m looking forward to calling it home for this season. It seems like a real hockey city and I’ve heard nothing but good things about the fanbase.”

The Mariners have now announced eleven players to the 2024-2025 roster, which can be viewed here.

The Mariners 2024-25 season presented by Hannaford to Go, begins on Friday, October 18th with the Home Opener against the Wheeling Nailers at 7:15 PM, presented by Evergreen Credit Union. The full schedule can be viewed here.
