The Southern New Hampshire University men's ice hockey team opened its 2025-26 season with a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory over Framingham State University on Saturday night at The Ice Den. Sophomore Ryan Kayser (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) scored the game-winner just 38 seconds into overtime to lift the Penmen to their third straight win over the Rams.
 

KEY MOMENT

With the game tied 3-3 entering overtime, Kayser buried a long feed from senior Brendan Lynch (Nepean, Ontario) out of the Penmen zone. Kayser also assisted on two other SNHU goals on opening night.

  • Fisher's goal came in his first game with the SNHU program, putting the Penmen up 2-1 in the closing seconds of the second period.
  • Watson converted a steal into a goal for a 3-2 lead at 10:46 of the third period, but Brent Scott tied the game with an unassisted goal for the Rams just over a minute later.
  • Lynch and junior Ryan Pomposelli (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) each picked up assists.
  • Junior goaltender Collin Berke (Crofton, Md.) made 23 saves to earn the victory.
  • SNHU outshot Framingham State 46–26 while the Rams recorded the game's lone power-play goal.
  • The Penmen dominated the faceoff circle, winning 63 percent (48–28) of draws, led by junior Coleman Nee (Arlington, Mass.) at 93 percent (14–1).
  • SNHU holds a 28-14-1 advantage in the all-time series and is 10-1-1 against the Rams since 2013.
