On any given night when someone comes to a Portland Pirates
game, they may see a white jersey with the number 31 carefully
stitched on the arms and back of the sweater.
The man in this jersey has been strong in goal for Portland, and
has been all season. While one may be able to find out what his
name is by looking in the program, or find out some information
about him by reading his biography, it still leaves people
wondering, who is this man behind the mask?
While the Portland Pirates roster has been transformed by many
changes this season, one thing that has stayed the same is
goaltender Mike McKenna. Consistently being ranked among the top
goalies in the AHL this season and leading the team in victories
with 23, McKenna has not just been great on the ice; he has also
been a great player off the ice as well. He is respected by
players, coaches, and fans alike, and has been a huge addition to
this year's club.
