Carolina Hurricanes prospect Justin Poirier has committed to the University of Maine, as reported by Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal. Selected 156th overall in the 2024 NHL Draft, Poirier has established himself as a top scorer in the QMJHL with 122 goals and 210 points in 181 games since 2022-23, including notable postseason performance. His goal-scoring ability could significantly benefit Maine’s struggling men’s ice hockey program, which has faced challenges in the Hockey East Division in recent years.
