The franchise was founded in 2018 as
Team Maryland, and located in
Odenton. After a poor record in its first season, the club posted winning marks in each of its next five seasons. Team Maryland made several postseason appearances after the
COVID-19 pandemic, however, the franchise was on unsteady ground despite their on-ice success. Shortly after the end of the 2023–24 season, the club was purchased by Boston Hockey Academy and Nate Bostic, who moved the team to
Tewksbury, Massachusetts, and renamed the team to the
Boston Dukes. The first year under new management in Massachusetts didn't go as planned, as the team finished with the second-worst record in the league and missed the postseason. After one season in Massachusetts, the team again moved north, this time to
Lewiston, Maine. The Dukes were re-branded to the Lewiston MAINEiacs, after the
Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League team that played in The Colisée from 2003 to 2011. With the relocation, the team also moved from the Tier III
Eastern Hockey League to the United States Premier Hockey League's Tier II league, the National Collegiate Development Conference (NCDC), and assigned to the North Division of the New England Conference of the NCDC. ==Season-by-season records==
