PORTLAND, ME – January 14, 2026 – The Maine Mariners, proud affiliates of the NHL's Boston Bruins and AHL's Providence Bruins, announced on Wednesday that defenseman Jackson Edward was re-assigned to Maine from Providence, by Boston. Edward suited up in two games for the Mariners before the holiday break.
A 2022 draft pick of the Bruins, Edward is in his second season a pro. He skated in 31 games for Providence in 2024-25, scoring one goal and adding six assists. He finished the regular season in Maine, skating in seven more games, scoring one goal and adding one assist.
The 21-year-old Ontario native appeared in the two games at Trois-Rivieres on December 19th and 20th. He’s played nine games for Providence this season, without a point. Prior to turning pro, Edward played three seasons in the Ontario Hockey League for the London Knights, including his final season as alternate captain.
