The Pioneers took the ice for the first time in winter 2022 under first head coach Michael Keim, giving girls across the Penobscot region their own high school hockey team for the first time. Penobscot Ice Arena in Brewer has been home ice from day one.
The co-op brings together student-athletes from Bangor, Brewer, Hampden Academy, Hermon, John Bapst, Old Town, Orono, Foxcroft Academy and Bucksport — with Foxcroft Academy and Bucksport joining this season.
Coming off a run to the North semifinals, the team is talking about strong chemistry, crisp passing and a freshman class that’s already ahead of the curve. Read the season preview.
