The 2025–26 Stonehill Skyhawks men's ice hockey season was the 47th season of play for the program and 4th at the Division I level. The Skyhawks represented Stonehill College in the 2025–26 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season, played their home games at the Warrior Ice Arena and were coached by David Berard in his 2nd season.

Season Stonehill's season got off to a rocky start. While the offense wasn't particular good, it was consistently providing a minimal level of scoring. Connor Androlewicz, the team's primary starter, had several decent outing but he was unable to hold opponents to the 1 goal or fewer mark in order to get a win. Only twice in Androlewicz's first 14 starts did the Skyhawks score three goals and, coincidentally, those were the only two games they did not lose. It wasn't until December that the offense finally picked up its pace but even then goal scoring was only intermittent. The modest improvement was enough for Stonehill to post an 8–8–1 record to finish out the year, though part of that could be attributed to an easier slate of games. Of all 10 wins the Skyhawks had on the season, Sacred Heart was the only team they could defeat who was ranked in the top half of the NPI.

The capstone for the team's season came in the inaugural United Collegiate Hockey Cup. The Skyhawks kicked off the tournament by winning the first game in decisive fashion and advancing to the semifinal. They twice overcame 2-goal deficits against Alaska and took a lead deep into the third period, only to see the Nanooks tie the match with 1.2 seconds remaining. After a scoreless overtime, a shootout was used to decide the match. Unfortunately, Stonehill missed on all four of their opportunities and Alaska was able to take the game. The following day, the team met Long Island to decide third place. While The Skyhawks were able to get a lead partway through the first period, they could not hold their advantage and eventually fell 3–4.
