History: The Wildcats hold a commanding 82-32-12 lead in the all-time series, but the series has been much closer over the last decade.

Over the last 10 seasons, Merrimack is 12-11-4 against UNH. The Warriors have not lost at home to UNH since Oct. 25, 2019, when the Wildcats won in overtime, 3-2. Charlie Kelleher scored the game-winner for the Wildcats. Declan Carlile and Zach Uens scored for the Warriors.

The all-time series dates back to 1960. The programs met 11 times from 1960-72, but the series ramped up in 1988 when Merrimack moved to Division I and in 1989 when the Warriors joined Hockey East.
