Caleb Labrie returns for his second season as Head Coach of the Lewiston MAINEiacs after helping guide the team to 41 wins and the New England North Division championship in 2025⁠–⁠26. Before stepping behind the bench, the Greene, Maine native was a standout forward for the L/A Nordiques, producing 70 points in 46 games during the 2017⁠–⁠18 season and earning NA3HL Coastal Division Forward of the Year honors before continuing his career at NCAA Division III Becker College.

Labrie has since built an extensive player-development background in Maine, spending four seasons as an assistant coach with the Twin City Thunder before joining the NAHL’s Maine Nordiques coaching staff. With experience as a player and coach across junior, collegiate and youth hockey, Labrie enters year two in Lewiston looking to continue developing players for their next opportunity while building on the MAINEiacs’ successful inaugural NCDC season.

Few people have a connection to Lewiston hockey quite like MAINEiacs General Manager Ed Harding. A former University of Southern Maine captain, Harding recorded 37 goals and 33 assists for 70 points during his collegiate career before playing professionally with the Maine Mariners and Johnstown Chiefs. His playing career was later recognized with induction into the University of Southern Maine Husky Athletic Hall of Fame in 2014.

Harding’s history with the MAINEiacs name dates back more than two decades. He spent six seasons with the original QMJHL Lewiston MAINEiacs, serving as an assistant coach during the organization’s 2007 championship season before later becoming the team’s Head Coach and General Manager. Harding went on to lead the University of Southern Maine men’s hockey program for eight seasons, bringing decades of playing, coaching, recruiting and management experience back to Lewiston as he helps build the next chapter of MAINEiacs hockey.
