Maine Lumberjacks
January 16, 2013
The Maine Lumberjacks were a minor league basketball club based out of Bangor from 1978 to 1983. The club originated as an expansion franchise in the Continental Basketball Association in the fall of 1978. The CBA grew out of the old Eastern Basketball Association (1946-1978), which had been a Pennsylvania-based bus league for decades. The Lumberjacks joined the league as part of a nationwide expansion and re-branding. During their 5-year run in the CBA the Lumberjacks roamed from coast to coast, traveling as far as Montana, Hawaii, Alaska and Alberta, Canada for games.
