The Maine Timber branding is well established in the SMJHL, and the state of Maine is indeed the most forested state in the United States. What many people don't know is that Maine also known as the Lighthouse State, with 65 active lighthouses around the state. So, for this charity event, the Timber have chosen an alternative jersey featuring the Portland Head Light. Completed in 1791, the Portland Head Light is the oldest lighthouse in Maine. In fact, its construction was ordered by the United State's first President, George Washington. With much of Maine's extensive coastline consisting of rocky bays and inlets, lighthouses are an important part of Maine's history. While most people associate lighthouses with old paintings at Grandma's house, many lighthouses are still active and serve their original purpose. The money raised by this charity even will go to the American Lighthouse Association, which is committed to raising awareness of and preserving lighthouses, both in Maine and around the United States. 168 words
