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.
