**UPDATE TO TSR JERSEY FITTING NIGHT**

Hi All,

We wanted to send a brief message that Jersey fitting night is scheduled With TSR Hockey. A Reminder, all will need to order their jerseys for the 2026/27 Season this year Through the TSR store. This will be open shortly following the fitting night. Below is the information:

When: Monday May 11th (Previously scheduled for May 4th)
Time: 4:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Where: Biddeford Arena Biddeford, ME
What to bring: Shoulder pads to get accurately sized for your jersey.

What if I can’t make it? Unfortunately this is the only sizing night. If you cannot make it that particular night, we recommend connecting with a teammate that may be similar in size so see what they went with. If you are new to the program and do not know anyone, I would make your best educated guess. It’s obviously better to be a little big than too small. We will send out an email following fitting night with links to online store.

Is it just jersey fitting? Although that is the only thing we require, TSR will have fittings for gloves, helmets, track suits, jackets, etc. So if you are planning on ordering any new gear or apparel from the team store, this is a great opportunity to make sure you get the sizing right. Our program DOES NOT require you to purchase any special helmets or team gloves like many organizations. If you want them though, they will be available for order.

Thanks all and see you Monday, May 11th!!

Congrats to the 25/26 Maine Wild players who earned the opportunity to represent Maine at the New England Districts Future Camp this past weekend!

This is the largest annual fundraiser conducted by the South Portland Professional Firefighters. This year’s primary beneficiary is STRIVE, with a generous portion of the proceeds supporting their mission.
