Honor Guard present the colors at Pirates game

LIMESTONE, Maine — On Feb. 2, members of the Loring Job Corps Honor Guard traveled to Lewiston and proudly represented their Job Corps Center during the opening ceremony for the Portland Pirates hockey game against the Manchester Monarchs. The students had the opportunity to meet the staff and walk out on the ice to post the nation’s colors during the national anthem.
For most of the students who had never witnessed a hockey game — especially a semi-pro game, the event sparked a new interest in another sport; one member of the Color Guard, Leroy Richards, indicated how similar the hockey game was to soccer.
