The Merrimack Warriors men's ice hockey team is a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I college ice hockey program that represents Merrimack College. The Warriors are a member of Hockey East. They play at the 2,549-seat J. Thom Lawler Rink in North Andover, Massachusetts, which underwent renovation in 2010. Merrimack's 92.08% capacity during the 2013–14 season was second in Hockey East.[2]

History

[edit]

The history of hockey at Merrimack started out just a year after the college was founded in 1947, a group of students banded together and formed an informal club they called the "Blue Blades". The Blades rented ice off Merrimack's one-building campus for $30 an hour and played anybody who would agree to a date, time and place The Warriors started. The program gained some instant credibility in 1953 when then President Father Vincent McQuade appointed Father Paul Thabault, recognized as the father of Merrimack hockey, as a moderator/coach of the team. John Twomey '56, an instrumental figure in organizing the program that year, would later serve as captain under Thabault for two seasons. Father Thabault and his skaters constructed Merrimack's first home rink - an outdoor model - and made ice with the help of a fire hose on the North Andover campus in 1954. intercollegiate play began in 1954–55, as the college offered more support to the program in the form of a modest budget, new uniforms and varsity letters. Babson, Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Keene Teachers were among the first intercollegiate competition Merrimack hockey faced that year. And for the first time, the college recognized hockey as a varsity sport.[3] The program took another leap forward in 1956 when Jim Reynolds was hired as its official coach. At that time, statistics and records started to be recorded. The warriors first official season would come be in 1956-57. After a 0-2 start the warriors would pick up the first victory in program history with a 13-6 win over assumption university they would finish the year with a 4-4-1 record showing that they could compete with other local schools. Reynolds would go on to lead the warriors for another 7 years. But after the leading the warriors to a 8-7 record in 1964 he decided to step down as head coach.

The warriors with their 1978 national championship banner

In the 1964 the warriors joined the ECAC 2 conference and Ron Ryan would be hired as the second head coach in program history. Ryan would leave after just one season. J Thom Lawler who at the time was the athletic director at Merrimack college. Would take over as the programs new head coach. From there Lawler would lead the warriors to great success in the late 1960s. As in just his second year during the 1966-67 season the warriors would qualify for the ECAC 2 tournament for the first time as the 4th seed going 13-9 overall. But they would not stop here as they would knock off the 1 seed Norwich 12-3. This would punch their ticket to the championship game Vs Colby. The warriors would go on to win the game 6-4 winning the first championship in program history. The warriors would one up this the following year during the 1967-68 season by going 10-1 in conference play and 18-8 overall securing their first regular season championship. As the 1 seed the warriors would blow out AIC 6-1 in the semifinals. They would then go on to beat Hamilton 5-4 winning back to back ECAC championships to close out the decade.

They were also very successful in the 1970s and 1980s still Lead by coach J Thom Lawler from 1973-1978 they had 5 straight seasons of 20 or more wins. They would also have a dominant conference record of 78-14-4 during this period. This resulted in back to back ECAC 2 regular season titles in 1975 and 1976 as well as their third tournament title in 1977 beating Union 6-4. During this time Lawler would also be the first coach in program history to hit the 100 win mark, and Defenceman Mark Petit would be the first player in program history to honored as an all American. During the 1977-78 the NCAA would institute a division II national championship. The warriors would go 21-9-2 that year and be invited to the inaugural tournament. They would play Mankato State in the semifinals beating them fairly easily 6-1. They would then go on to destroy Lake Forest 12-2 in the championship game to win the 1978 division II national title. Warriors player Jim Toomey would be named the tournament mosts outstanding player. This would be a historic moment for the program and Merrimack college as a whole. As it was the first national championship in school history. Tragically just two months after winning the national championship head coach Lawler passed away after suffering from an heart attack. After his untimely death Lawler was honored for his accomplishments and dedication to the program. As Merrimack would rename their home rink in his honor. His son Tom Lawler was a freshman at Merrimack when J. Thom died. He completed his four years at the college, being named captain in his senior year he would end up finishing his time with the warriors top 5 in career points.

Bruce Parker was named as the new head coach after Lawler’s passing. Parker would pick off where Lawler left off leading the warriors to 4 straight winning seasons from 1978-1982, and another ECAC title in 1980 beating umass Lowell 4-0. The warriors Would also make it to the division II frozen four in 1980 and 1982 under his tenure. Parker would leave the program after 1982-83 season. From there assistant Coach Ron Anderson would be promoted to head coach. Taking over the program during the 1983-84 season. In just his first year he took the warriors all the way to the 1984 division II national championship. Beating SNHU in the in the frozen four. before untimely becoming runners up to Bemidji State in the championship game. For the next 5 seasons the warriors became a concurrent NCAA Division I independent and a ECAC East member. During this time the warriors seen even more success. Winning the ECAC East regular season and tournament championships three years in a row in 1987, 1988 and 1989 going 58-4 in conference play during this time. They also boasted a program best 34 wins during the 1987-1988 season. Which led to them getting their first ever bid at the NCAA DI Tournament in 1988. This was the first time an Independent program had been invited to the tournament sense 1960. The warriors faced the Hockey east champions Northeastern in the first round. They lost the first game 5-3 but routed the huskies in the second game 7-3 which gave them the series win 10-7 on aggregate pulling off a huge upset. The Warriors went on to play Lake Superior in the quarterfinal’s. Where their season ultimately came to an end as they as they lost on aggregate 5-8. This was the deepest run the Warriors have made in the D1 tournament. Warriors player Jimmy Vesey was named Division II-III Hobey Baker Award winner in 1988 after having a 95 point season with 40 goals and 55 assists. Merrimack did not play a schedule against predominantly Division I teams until they joined the Hockey East conference in 1989.[4][5]

Coach Ron Anderson holding one of 3 straight ECAC East championship trophies

Still Led by Coach Ron Anderson, a new era began for Merrimack hockey in 1989 when the Warriors competed in their first season as a member of the Hockey East Association. That team posted an overall record of 10–24–1, but pulled off the surprise of the season by taking eventual league champion Boston College to a third and decisive playoff game. And after being picked for the bottom part of the league in three of the last four seasons, the Warriors continued to baffle the experts by battling for home-ice advantage all season long while defeating several Top 20 teams. And with the roots of the Merrimack hockey tree that were planted in Hockey East seven years earlier firmly entrenched, the 1996–97 Warriors entered a new chapter in history by qualifying for a Hockey East playoff home ice berth. Coach Anderson would be named Clark Hodder coach of the year after the 1996-97 season being the first coach in program history to be given the honor. The 1997–98 team raised the bar a little higher by pulling off a massive upset over top-ranked Boston University in the quarterfinals and earning a trip to the conference semifinals at Boston's FleetCenter. Anderson contract would not be renewed at the end of the 1997-1998 season. Putting a end to his nearly 2 decade long tenure with the program. Anderson would finish his time with the warriors as the all programs all time wins leader with 254 victories this record still stands to this day (as of 2025).

The 1998–99 season began yet another era in Merrimack hockey history with the dawning of the Serino age. On April 24, 1998, Chris Serino became just the sixth head coach in the program's history. The Warriors posted a mark of 11–24–1 in Serino's inaugural campaign, and senior forward and captain Rejean Stringer was named an All-American, Merrimack's first ever at the Division I level. In Serino's second season, the Warriors set an NCAA record for consecutive overtime contests by playing in six straight at the end of January, and in 2000–01, the Warriors notched 14 victories, the most for Merrimack since 1996–97. Several of those victories were over nationally ranked opponents.

In 2002–03, senior goaltender and captain Joe Exter led Merrimack to a surprising race for home ice throughout much of the season, including the team's first-ever regular season Division I tournament title with wins over host Rensselaer and Wayne State at the 52nd Annual Rensselaer/HSBC Holiday Hockey Tournament in late December. Exter was selected to the All-Hockey East Team by league coaches. Long-time assistant coach Stu Irving was also honored, as the American Hockey Coaches Association presented him with its Terry Flanagan Memorial Award in recognition of an assistant coach's career body of work. The season also saw the inauguration of the Blue Line Club, the program's official support organization.[6]

Chris Serino would be relieved of his duty’s after the 2004-05 season. Mark Dennehy would be named as the 7th head coach in team history before the 2005-06 season. The program struggled in the highly competitive Hockey East. The 2006–07 season, in which they won only 3 games, was the nadir of their struggles. during the 2009-10 season the warriors showed some improvement going 16-19-2 Dennehy was named Hockey coach of the year at the end of that season. Being the first warrior coach to receive the honor and Stéphane Da Costa would win the Tim Taylor award. In the following year during the 2010–11 season, however, they had unprecedented success against several of the nation's top teams.[2] They finished the regular season 22–8–4 and were ranked 9th in the nation. Merrimack gained a home ice advantage for the first round for the first time since 1997.[4] The Warriors made it all the way to the 2011 hockey east championship but fell to Boston college 5-3. The warriors would finish the season as the #10 team in the country and get a at large bid to the 2011 ncaa tournament. They would face Norte Dame in the first round and lose 4-3 in overtime. Dennehy Would be named Clark Hodder coach of the year for the second year in a row. 2011 would mark the last year of warriors goalie Joe Cannata. He would end his tenure with 59 wins the most in program history.

The program received its first No. 1 ranking in the USCHO Poll during the 2011–12 season.

The warriors would go 18-12-7 during the 2011-12 season and finish the season ranked as the #17 team in the country. Just narrowly missing the NCAA tournament. Collin Delia would be the first warrior to be named hockey east goaltending champion during the 2016-17 season. Mark Dennehy was fired as the team's head coach at the conclusion of the 2017–18 season following a 12–21–4 record and a sixth straight losing season.

The warriors celebrating a 2-1 double overtime victory during the 2023 hockey East semifinals

Scott Borek was hired as the team's head coach on April 9, 2018. After a couple of unsuccessful seasons under Borek things started to change for him and the warriors. During the 2021-22 season the warriors had there first winning season in nearly 10 years going 19-15-1. They kept this momentum going during following year in 2022-23 season. But just before the season would start tragedy struck the program as 6th year assist coach Josh Ciocco would die suddenly.[7] The warriors would wear a black patch on their jerseys this season with the initials JC honoring their former coach. Even with this adversity the warriors would go on to have a great season. As Borek led the warriors to a 23-14-1 record. They were ranked in the top 20 for most of the season and finished 2nd in hockey east. This gave them a first round by in the 2023 Hockey east Tournament. They played Boston college in the quarterfinals and won 1-0 in double overtime advancing to the semifinals in the TD garden for the first time in since 2011. They would face bitter rival Umass Lowell in the semifinals. The warriors would once again win in double overtime 2-1. Making it to the hockey east championship game for the first time since 2011. They would come up just sort in the championship game losing to Boston university 2-1 in overtime. The warriors season would not end here though as they got a at large bid to the 2023 NCAA tournament as the #14 team in the country. This was the third time the warriors had made the D1 tournament. They faced Quinnipiac in the first round and lost 5-0. During the 2023-24 season Merrimack captain Ben Brar broke the program record for most games played. He finished his tenure with 155 total games with the warriors.
