It's Labatt Blue Light Hockey Night in Portland...and it's the fan experience Portland has been looking for, highlighted by Portland Pirates Hockey at the Cumberland County Civic Center.

Every Saturday during the regular season the Pirates and Labatt Blue Light team up with local establishments for an evening of great fun and Pirates action. Check out specials at participating establishments before or after the game. The Pirates Saturday schedule and complete details will be announced prior to the start of the 2010-11 regular season.
