The Boston Dogs are a Tier II junior ice hockey team playing in the United States Premier Hockey League at the National Collegiate Development Conference (top) level. The Dogs play their home games at the Canton Sportsplex in Canton, Massachusetts.
History The parent organization, Boston Junior Terriers, was founded in 1982 as a youth development club for the greater Boston area. The Jr. Terriers oversee more than 800 players across multiple age groups for minor ice hockey and operate out of two facilities in Canton and Rockland. After more than 40 years in operation, the Junior Terriers finally joined the Tier III level when they were one of three expansion teams announced by the Eastern Hockey League in 2022. After a solid first season, the organization decided to switch affiliations and join the United States Premier Hockey League for the 2025–26 season. However, after the club made the announcement, they were expelled from the EHL in the middle of the season. The USPHL responded by accepting the club immediately and rearranged the schedule to include the newly-rechristened 'Boston Dogs'. The Dogs did not play particularly well in their partial season, finishing last in the league with 22 points, albeit in more than 20 fewer games.
