As far as the level of play goes, the Pirates played in the AHL, which is professional hockey a step below the NHL.
The Mariners play in the ECHL, which is the professional league a step below the AHL.
The Lewiston team plays in the NAHL, which is tier II junior hockey, similar to Junior A in Canada. So that's a step below the OHL/WHL/QMJHL (the league the Maniacs used to play in).
Lewiston will be younger players (16-21), but both leagues are probably pretty comparable skill wise, and they're both fun. It's hockey! Grab a beer and go cheer for our local teams!
