The Timber have one goal in mind this and every seasons and thats to win. They have built a great dynasty over the last decade plus with league titles and four star cups. This team has a clear blueprint of successes and their winning ways are continuing. It will be a hurdle after this season is finished with the newly announced expansion team off shots. What Main will do is still up in the air and it will be a challenge for them to hold onto their all star caliber team and continue their winning ways while having to give up a piece or two due to the impending expansion draft rules. The Timber have built a great graduation system with their team where they see a certain percentage of players age out of their program each season, only to have the at years draft replenish what they have just lost to the SHL.

Sense season 67 the Timber have been blesses with 3 cups. season 67 was also the Timbers first cup in franchise history and the beginning of what has become a great dynasty. Sense 67 Maine has brought home 3 regular season titles as well. The last 5 seasons not including the current year have seen the team bring home 5 consecutive divisional titles paired with 5 consecutive conference final appearances. The team may sit second in their division this season and third in the league, they still look very strong and ready to take on the league with an attempt to make a late season push for a league title, a divisional title and the holy grail, a Four Star Cup!
