Lewiston, ME (QMJHL) - The Lewiston MAINEiacs are pleased to announce their roster for the 2010-11 season.

This year's team will begin with a total of 26 players - 15 forwards, 8 defensemen, and 3 goaltenders. 20 of the 26 players have appeared in at least one game at the QMJHL level, while 16 of those 20 have appeared in at least one game with the MAINEiacs. Three of the remaining six were selected at the 2010 QMJHL Entry Draft in Drummondville, one was taken in the CHL Import Draft, one was signed as a free agent during the draft, and one made the team as a training camp invite. 12 players were originally drafted by Lewiston, with 12 other players being acquired via trades.

Due to the amount of players returning, the team's average age will be significantly higher than last season.
