The Maine Mariners announced that assistant coach Johnny McInnis has stepped down from his position to pursue other opportunities. McInnis had joined the Mariners back in 2022 when the team also hired Terrance Wallin as the team’s assistant coach. According to the Mariners, the search for a new assistant coach will begin immediately.

“It’s a been a privilege to coach the Mariners alongside Terrance Wallin the past two years. Thank you to the entire Maine Mariners organization for allowing me to grow professionally over that time. Coming back to Portland as a coach after finishing my playing career here was a dream come true.

Portland will always have a special place in my heart. We started a family here and will never forget the people or memories we made here.

Thank you to the players for their hard work and dedication. I’ll miss the energy of the locker room every day and working with the players to achieve their goals

To the staff, I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to work alongside every day. Thank you for letting me be part of it.

And finally to the Mariners fans, thank you for your unwavering support night in and night out! You guya keep us ticking!
