PORTLAND, ME – March 8, 2026 – The Maine Mariners, proud affiliates of the NHL’s Boston Bruins and AHL’s Providence Bruins, announced the signing of defenseman Tynan Ewart to an Amateur Tryout (ATO), out of Northern Michigan University.
A native of Duncan, BC, the 24-year-old Ewart was captain at Northern Michigan this past season, as a junior. In 34 games, he scored one goal and added nine assists. It was his second season with the Wildcats after beginning his college career at St. Cloud State University in 2023-24.
Prior to college, Ewart played three seasons for the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s Battleford North Stars, where he posted over a point-per-game (56 points in 55 games) in his final junior season of 2022-23. The North Stars captured the SJHL Championship as Ewart was named the league’s Defenseman of the Year.
The Mariners begin a four-game homestand on Sunday afternoon with “New England Sports Night,” presented by Verizon – a 3:00 PM puck drop against the Adirondack Thunder. New England Patriots mascot Pat Patriot as well as members of the Patriots Cheerleaders will be on hand.
