Head Coach Keith Abood was recognized as the Blue Division's Coach of the Year. The Lions put together nothing short of a historic season under Abood's leadership. The team finished the 2025-26 season 12-0 in conference play to win the Blue Division title outright for the first time in school history. In addition, the Lions qualified for the Baron Cup tournament for the first time in ten years. The team defeated CVCA in a thrilling overtime win in the first round before their second-round exit to the one-seed Westlake Demons.

Overall, Coach Abood guided the Ice Hockey team to a 14-3-1 regular season record.
