Autograph sessions will take place shortly after the conclusion of the game in the Saco & Biddeford Savings Hall of Fame Lounge, located on the main concourse to the left of the Spring Street entrance.
There are five opportunities for fans to skate on the Cross Insurance Arena ice following Mariners games this season, two with players. The first event takes place on Sunday, November 23rd, which is Throwback Night, and will include the chance to skate alongside Mariners players. One additional “skate with the team” event will follow the Sunday, January 4th game, as Mariners players will again join fans on the ice.
The three general postgame open skate dates will fall on Saturday, December 27th, Sunday, March 29th, and Sunday, April 12th.
Postgame open skate sessions begin shortly after the game ends and last approximately one hour.
Fans who wish to participate in open skates must bring their own skates and check them in at the Promotions Port upon passing through the security gates. All fans must also sign a waiver and be checked in by puck drop to reserve a spot in the skate. Children under 12 must wear a helmet while on the ice.
