The Ravens are hunting an elusive first conference title under alumnus Conor Foley as twelve new recruits join the flock.
Franklin Pierce University is focused on capturing their first Northeast-10 Conference (NE10) Championship in program history after two runner up finishes from 2010-20.
Founded in 2002, Franklin Pierce began their collegiate journey as a member of the ECAC Northeast. Their inaugural season was a bumpy one at 0-22-1. The Ravens migrated to the NE10 for the 2008-09 season with Jaymie Harrington making his debut as Head Coach. Franklin Pierce saw some success under Harrington, reaching the NE10 Championship in 2013.
2019-20 saw some of the best hockey for Franklin Pierce. That year, the Ravens recorded their first and only winning season going 16-12-4. Franklin Pierce once agin made it to the conference championship on March 6, 2020, just days before the COVID-19 Shutdown . The now-Division I Stonehill College Skyhawks took home the title.
The Monroe Moccasins dominated the Biloxi Breakers to begin their second season in the Federal Prospects Hockey League with a score of 9 to 5 on Saturday, October 11th, at the Monroe Civic Center. Michelle Tripp / Special to the News-Star / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesSeveral former Ravens have gone on to the Single A Federal Prospects Hockey League (FPHL) following their education. In 2025-26, five different graduates played together on the now defunct Biloxi Breakers. These players were Dimitris Christou, Matthew Horan, Declan House, Payton Jones and Brendan Spinale.
This fall will be Head Coach Conor Foley's second season leading the Ravens after serving as an Assistant Coach for SUNY-Fredonia'd Division III team. Foley is an alumnus, playing for Franklin Pierce from 2019-23 and serving as captain his senior year. He made an immediate impact during his first go around, increasing the program from two wins to nine and taking the team back to the playoffs. The Ravens ultimately came up a goal short in overtime to Post University.
While a full schedule is yet to be released, it is safe to say that 2026-27 will see twelve new recruits ready to the Raven crest, ready to avenge their recent heartbreak. The remaining 14 roster spots not occupied by freshmen feature no transfers in or out based on the tracker from GopherPuckLive.
An upperclassman that caught my eye is rising junior Mario Paganini. He led the Ravens with 23 goals and 38 points as a sophomore last year. Those numbers in both categories were doubled from his freshman campaign.
So much fresh talent is arriving at Franklin Pierce, both on the ice and behind the bench. If the Ravens integrate the newcomers well with their returners, they could sneak up on people.
