Lewiston, in Androscoggin County, is the second-largest city in the U.S. state of Maine.
Lewiston is home to Bates College, the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, the University of Southern Maine's Lewiston-Auburn College, and two significant regional general hospitals: Central Maine Medical Center and Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center.
Lewiston was settled in 1770 and officially incorporated in 1795.
Naturally, the Maineiacs felt confident entering the game, as the Screaming Eagles were 4-4 and coming off a loss to Drummondville, a team Lewiston had previously defeated days earlier.
Every season, the Maineiacs must apply for work permits for all of their non-U.S. born players after training camp ends but before the first regular season game in the United States.
The process has become an annual annoyance for the Maineiacs, as it forces the team to start its season on the road and a week later than the rest of the league.
