The Lewiston MAINEiacs are a Tier II junior ice hockey team playing in the United States Premier Hockey League's National Collegiate Development Conference. The team plays their home games at The Colisée in Lewiston, Maine.
History The franchise was founded in 2018 as Team Maryland, and located in Odenton. After a poor record in its first season, the club posted winning marks in each of its next five seasons. Team Maryland made several postseason appearances after the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the franchise was on unsteady ground despite their on-ice success. Shortly after the end of the 2023–24 season, the club was purchased by Boston Hockey Academy and Nate Bostic, who moved the team to Tewksbury, Massachusetts, and renamed the team to the Boston Dukes. The first year under new management in Massachusetts didn't go as planned, as the team finished with the second-worst record in the league and missed the postseason.
After one season in Massachusetts, the team again moved north, this time to Lewiston, Maine. Team owner Nate Bostic had purchased The Colisée in Lewiston earlier that summer. The Dukes were re-branded to the Lewiston MAINEiacs, after the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League team that played in The Colisée from 2003 to 2011. With the relocation, the team also moved from the Tier III Eastern Hockey League to the United States Premier Hockey League's Tier II league, the National Collegiate Development Conference (NCDC), and assigned to the North Division of the New England Conference of the NCDC.
