Back to the basics: Maineiacs get help from top skating coach
LEWISTON — The Lewiston Maineiacs’ skate blades sliced a bit deeper into the ice at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Wednesday. The players had a bit more zip to their strides, they carved out crisp corners and accelerated more quickly with the puck.
After three losses in a row in which they were outscored 18-4, it was a practice the Maineiacs desperately needed.
And they got three of them this week, under the watchful eye of the only player born in Jamaica ever to play in the National Hockey League, Graeme Townshend.
