Colin Frank Helping Fuel Fighting Saints' Offensive Surge In 2025-26

The Dubuque Fighting Saints ’ offense is taking off in 2025-26. With the help of Colin Frank, the Fighting Saints are tied for the lead the United States Hockey League in goals scored, which has helped power them to a 36-17-4-0 record, good for second place in the Eastern Conference. Frank has taken his game to a new level this season, totalling 30 goals and 22 assists through 47 games played.

Frank’s 30 goals lead the Fighting Saints and place him sixth overall in the USHL. The 19-year-old forward is in his third season with the Fighting Saints and has seen his role grow in each of the three campaigns with the club. Each season Frank’s point total has risen, recording 15 in his rookie year, 40 in year two and now 52 to this point of the campaign.

During an interview last week, Frank spoke about how his game has evolved over his time in Dubuque. “When you come from Under-16 into the USHL, it’s a change. There’s a lot of bigger and stronger players, so it’s hard to get playing time,” Frank said.

“My rookie year, we had such a good team, so it was hard to get playing time. What helped me was focusing on the mental side, and when you get your chance, you need to be ready for it. The second year was just about building my confidence, and this year I’ve found it and continued to grow my game.
