The team represents the University of Southern Maine which is located in Gorham, Maine. The team plays out of the USM Ice Arena, which opened in the fall of 1998 and has an Olympic size ice sheet (200'x100').

The team had not won the regular season or conference tournament while a member of ECAC East.
