Portland, ME - The Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League today announced that Brent Marcotte has been named the team's new Director, Communications & Team Services. Marcotte replaces Mark Jeanneret, who had been in that role, in addition to acting as the play-by-play voice of the Pirates, during the past two seasons.

"I am elated to have been offered this great opportunity with the Pirates organization," Marcotte said. "Portland has for over three decades run a first-class operation in a thriving, history-rich hockey region, and I hope to continue the tradition as a member of the front office staff and help raise the brand to the next level in the years ahead while servicing the operational needs of our NHL affiliate's coaches, players and support staff."

Marcotte, 24, joins the Pirates after spending the past year as a Media Relations Assistant with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, Minor League Baseball Double-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, and as Senior Intern of the Portland Pirates Communications Department. The 24 year-old Dartmouth, MA native will handle all public and media relations responsibilities for the Pirates, along with providing team services for the Club's NHL affiliate - the Phoenix Coyotes. Additionally, Marcotte will integrate and execute the team's sales and marketing and game presentation departments' communications programs on a year round basis.

"We're thrilled to engage Brent's passion, energy and knowledge with our business moving forward," said Pirates Managing Owner/CEO, Brian Petrovek. "Brent provided us with consistent and high quality day-to-day communications and team services support during the entire 2010-11 season and proved to me his readiness to lead the department heading into this season."

Marcotte is a 2010 honors graduate of Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs, GA, where he received a B.S. in Kinesiology with a concentration in Sport Management, and lettered four years for the school's baseball program. Currently the Massachusetts native is pursuing his MBA in Sport Management at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, NH.
