Their logo is exactly like that of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves, with "Minnesota" replaced with "Maine" and "Hockey" underneath. On September 17, the NSHL suspended the Timberwolves operations indefinitely for failure to meet financial obligations prior to ever playing a game.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Timberwolves fold operations after being suspended by NSHL )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maine Moose」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
