Shaun Millerick enters his first season as the head coach of the Rivier men's hockey program in 2023-24.

Millerick came to campus from nearby Franklin Pierce University where he served as the head coach of the Ravens’ NCAA Division II men’s ice hockey team since 2017. He departed that position as the Ravens' all-time leader in coaching victories with 53.

The Northeast-10 Conference’s (NE10) Coach of the Year in 2020, Millerick oversaw the two winningest seasons in team history (2018-19, 2019-20) and guided the team to a league championship game appearance in 2020. He also mentored three NE10 Players of the Year in his five full seasons as head coach.

The 2022-23 season saw Millerick’s team pick up an NE10 Quarterfinals win over Southern New Hampshire, earning a spot in the NE10 Semifinals for just the third time in program history. Three student-athletes from his roster also collected the prestigious NE10 Presidents’ Award for Academic Excellence, recording at least a 3.8 grade-point average.

In 2019-20, Millerick’s Ravens posted a 16-12-4 record and established the team’s single-season victories record for the second-consecutive campaign. 2018-19 saw Franklin Pierce reach a double-digit win total for the first time – he also mentored the league’s first-ever NE10 Player of the Year award recipient that season.

As an assistant coach for the Ravens in 2016-17, Millerick worked directly with the conference’s Goaltender of the Year, just the second in team annals for Franklin Pierce. Before earning his promotion to head coach, Millerick worked within the University’s admissions office as an assistant director and assisted the institution’s baseball team.

A 2014 graduate of Becker University with a degree in Business Administration, Millerick was a two-sport student-athlete for the Hawks, competing for the men’s ice hockey and baseball teams while captaining both squads.
