"Establishing a significant endowment for Maine Hockey is Critical, and will ensure long-term stability for the program, enable us to use a robust annual fund for program enhancement and focus future major gift efforts on capital enhancements. Much of our competition is ahead of us when it comes to endowment, and it is imperitive that we close this gap. By supporting this effort, former players and coaches can help us ensure that Maine Hockey is competing for Hockey East and National Championships for years to come."
- Karlton Creech, University of Maine Director of AthleticsÂ

"A wise man once told me that to succeed, we must begin with the end in mind. That said, there are two things that I want to achieve during my time as UMaine's head coach. First, it is to win and it is to win championships. Second, I want to do my part to fix the financial piece of our program so that future generations of Maine players and coaches can focus exclusively on athletic and academic excellence."
- Red Gendron, Head CoachÂ

"Black Bear hockey is a family; my teammates were, and still are, like brothers to me. The fans and donors are part of our family, too. We couldn't win without them back in '99 and they are more important than ever if we're going to remain competitive as a Division I program."
