The Maine Mariners have announced that they have re-signed forward Wyllum Deveaux for the 2024-25 season; this is the Mariner’s first signing for the 2023-24 season. In his rookie year with the Mariners, he put up 13 goals and 11 assists for 24 points in 46 games; he would score the game-winning goal for the Mariners in Game 1 of the Kelly Cup Playoffs against the Adirondack Thunder. The Nova Scotia native also saw one game in the AHL with the Providence Bruins. He would be named the most improved player by the Mariners coaching staff, win the team’s community service award, and lead the Mariners in Community Service hours.
“Looking back on the entirety of the season, it was a great first experience in the pro hockey realm,” said Deveaux. “I really enjoyed being in Portland and playing for such a great staff. We’re pretty lucky to have the resources we have in Portland and the fan support. I don’t think there was ever a doubt that this is a great spot to play.”

Deveaux spent his collegiate career at Harvard, where he scored four goals and three assists for seven points in 90 games over the course of five years. He played in three games with the Wheeling Nailers at the end of the 2022-23 season. This is a strong signing from the Mariners, as Deveaux has seemed to find his groove with the Mariners. He had a career year after struggling to find his offensive game in College.
