When Hancock left Franklin Pierce in 1996 after being named Assistant Principal at Gardner (Mass.) High School, he did so as the program's all-time leader in victories. He led the Ravens to a 135-92 (.590) record from 1988-96, three NCAA Tournament berths and two New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) Championships. Hancock was twice named NECC Coach of the Year, earning the honors in 1991-92 and '93-'94.

The Ravens set a school record for wins during a 24-7 campaign in 1991-92, claiming the first NECC Championship and NCAA Tournament berth in program history, posting a school-record 13-1 record in conference play.

Hancock has an incredible eye for talent as his programs produced ten All-NECC performers, including 1990-91 NECC Rookie of the Year Dina Sawicki, 1992-93 NECC Rookie of the Year Cassie Beckwith and 1993-94 NECC Player of the Year Kelly Jewett, five ECAC All-Stars and four Franklin Pierce Athletics Hall of Fame inductees.
