PORTLAND, ME – December 6, 2018 – Forwards Terrence Wallin and Alex Kile both recently returned to the Mariners from the AHL. Today it was announced that both are headed back up. Each forward will join the Hartford Wolf Pack on loan.

Since his return from Utica on November 28th, Kile has three goals and three assists in five games. He got into four games with the Comets, with no points. Kile has also played in the AHL with the Rochester Americans for brief parts of the past two seasons.
