Maine Firecrackers has been in existence for around 13 years. The program was initially owned by Don Briggs and Brian Clement but was purchased by XL Sports World two years ago, and they merged with the XL Thunder program. The directors of the combined programs are Abi Davids and Lauren Rousseau. The program is known for its family-like atmosphere, with players, coaches, and parents offering tremendous love and support to one another. This will be their first year on the Select 40 Circuit, and they will definitely be a program to look out for.

Jr. All-Star Analysis:
A huge offseason add for the Select 40 was the Maine Firecrackers. They have been one of the northeast’s most dominate clubs over the last two decades. Look for this year’s 17u team to be extremely fundamental and for them to play well as a combined unit.
