TWO-WAY CELTICS: Boston's basketball links
with Maine go back to 1947, before the Red
Auerbach era, when the not-yet-dominant
Celtics started coming up north for exhibition
games. Eight years later, with Auerbach in
charge and the legendary Bob Cousy on the
roster, the team ventured to Bangor for a
regular season game. The geographic overlaps
persist. Some modern-day Maine Celtics
players, like guard JD Davison, suit up in
Boston as well. Davison (shown here in April
2023), the lone rookie on last season's roster,
played 26 games for Maine and 12 down south.
THE PUCK STOPS HERE: On the ice at the
Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, the Maine
Mariners are the latest incarnation of a
hockey team originating in 1977, known first
as the Mariners, then the Pirates, now the
Mariners again. (Not to mention the short-
lived Nordiques or MAINEiacs.) Here, goalie
Francois Brassard and defender Gabriel
Chicoine (no. 3) protect the net in a 5–2
victory over the Tulsa Oilers that sent the
Mariners to the 2023 playoffs.
