Byron Center Forward Braxton McKee

One point shy of 50 on the season, Braxton McKee was integral to Byron Center’s Division-II state championship run. Five of his 22 goals scored came in the playoffs, including a three-point performance in the state final.

Houghton Forward Jay Halonen

Not pretty, but necessary. Jay Halonen epitomizes what it means to be an F1 on the forecheck, flying all over the ice and blowing up opposing breakouts. He also scored six goals and 18 points this season for his efforts.

Houghton Forward Jace DeForge

Jace DeForge has a fantastic motor, and keeps his feet going throughout his shifts. Couple that with good stops and starts, and he has a way of constantly being involved in the play all over the ice. That’s evident by his 17 goals and 38 points for the top team in Division-III.

Calumet Forward Brendan Boberg

Calumet’s biggest scoring threat, with 19 goals in 26 games. Brendan Boberg is dangerous every time he touches the puck. Half of those goals came against Top-25 opponents, and he mounted six-game goal streak with tallies against No. 4 Brighton, No. 11 Brother Rice and No. 16 U of D Jesuit.

East Grand Rapids Forward James Albers

A power forward that’s heavy on the puck and gritty in the corners. James Albers also flashes some explosiveness in his hands, making swift dekes and moves to get around defenders. Was a point-per-game guy for East Grand Rapids in the middle of the lineup.

East Grand Rapids Forward Oliver Owen

Led East Grand Rapids in goals during the team’s run to a State Final, with 19 in 30 games. If you give him time and space, Oliver Owen can make you pay. Five multi-goal games this season, and 15 points in the final 11 games down the stretch.

Byron Center Forward Luke Philo

A big-bodied forward with a nose for the net. Luke Philo scored 30 points for Byron Center this season, with 11 of those points coming against Top-25 opponents. His presence in the middle of the lineup elevated the Bulldogs’ roster to championship status.

Cap City Forward Will Tucker

Grade-A effort with and without the puck. Will Tucker has great intentions in his game, meaning he goes to the right spots at the right times, and he does so with a purpose. Ten multi-point games this season, 33 points in total, for a guy who impacts the game in a variety of ways.

Portage Forward Cayden Stasienko

Cayden Stasienko has a good hockey IQ and ability to create offense. Not only can he find open spots for himself to be a threat, but also has a knack for springing teammates into scoring chances of their own. Eleven goals and 33 points, one off the team lead in scoring. 

Grand Rapids Christian Forward Josh Hooper

Big fan of his ability to push the pace and play with tempo. A lot of players acclimate to the pace of the game, but Josh Hooper played fast and forced others to try and keep up with him. He finished the season on a 10-game point streak, finishing with 35 points in total.

Reeths-Puffer Forward Tyler Tindall

Possesses a lot of good habits and generally plays the game the ‘right’ way. Jumping off draws, mucking it up along the half wall, initiating breakouts and helping out on the backcheck. Tyler Tindall scored 19 goals and 35 points this season for Reeths-Puffer.

Forest Hills Northern-Eastern Forward Sean Hall

Sean Hall scored multiple points in 14 of 26 games this season, including four-point, five-point and six-point performances for Forest Hills Northern-Eastern. He factored in on 55.4 percent of the team’s total offense in 26 games this season.

Sparta Forward Caden Gleason

Finished in the Top 10 in the state in scoring with 62 points this season. Caden Gleason was the highest scoring player in the Class of 2025, but his game is much more than a stat line. He’s constantly jumping into scrums, bolting towards the net as a scoring threat and a player the opponent needs to account for at all times. 

Brother Rice Forward Roman Villaire

Led Brother Rice in scoring with 41 points in 26 games, and was one of the most consistent players for the Warriors all season long. Roman Villaire is a pure goal scorer who’s able to create his own opportunities. Skating ability, hands, and a habit of constantly being in scoring position.

Hartland Forward Ian Kastamo

One of the most coveted forwards in the state because of his unique skill set, hockey IQ and overall approach to the game. Ian Kastamo is quite simply put, a game changer. His 12 goals and 26 points may not ‘wow’ you, but his poise with the puck and ability to make plays will.

Clarkston Forward Ron Wade

Widely considered one of, if not, the top players in all of Michigan high school hockey this season. Ron Wade is a bonafide playmaker with a quick first step, explosive hands and a finisher’s touch around the net. Validated by his second straight 50-point season.

Cranbrook Forward Nick Timko

A very well-rounded player with a balanced skill set. Nick Timko is a good skater, with soft hands and quick jump. He's also got good size, and competes well in puck battles, leading Cranbrook in points with 35 this season.

Clarkston Forward Kyle Lynch

A really strong forward who was tough in 50-50 battles. Kyle Lynch is very active in the play and keeps his feet moving constantly, making him a highly effective center at this level. His 14 goals and 39 points were second on Clarkston, helping the Wolves reach the Final Four.

Livonia Stevenson Forward Owen Hall

He has the ability to impact every game he plays. Owen Hall is a physical presence, a forechecking terror, a scoring threat and a playmaker capable of succeeding in just about any role. Thirteen multi-point games for a total of 42 points this season.

Detroit Catholic Central Forward Peter Sanin

Peter Sanin led Detroit Catholic Central in scoring with 24 goals this season. He’s able to produce by driving the net hard, being tough to play against around the crease and just out-muscling opponents for loose pucks and rebounds. 

Hartland Forward Drew L’Esperance

Drew L’Esperance is an absolute finisher. If you give him an open look, it will end up in the back of your net. Nine goals and 25 points playing the middle for a young Hartland team, L’Esperance was a man amongst boys at the ‘07 birth year this season.

Orchard Lake St. Mary’s Forward Julian Johnston

He’s strong around the net and can sometimes muscle his way to the paint, willing to get dirty in order to produce offense. Julian Johnston scored nine goals and 24 points, with nearly half of them coming against Top-25 opponents.

Lenawee United Forward Rhett Micallef

Don’t sleep on this kid. He’s got an ugly, but extremely effective style that produced 28 goals and 50 points this season. Rhett Micallef buzzes all over the ice on every shift, getting a piece of the puck or body constantly. He does the dirty work — and does it effectively — that most don’t want to do.

M-1 United Forward Charlie Price

A hard-nosed center who’s never far from the play. Charlie Price is in his element along the half-walls, engaging in scrums and forcing turnovers. His 20 goals and 45 points led M-1 United, factoring in on nearly half the team’s offense.

Riverview Gabriel Richard Forward Tony Venturini

Rattled off point streaks of seven and eight games this season, totaling 41 points in 25 games. Tony Venturini was Riverview Gabriel Richard’s go-to guy, putting up nine points in six games against Top-25 competition. 

Divine Child Forward Braeden McNamara

Led Divine Child in scoring for the second consecutive season, eclipsing the 50-point mark yet again. Braeden McNamara began the ‘23-24 season with a 14-game point streak, and had a hand in 64.9 percent of the team’s offense.

FNV Forward Cade Doud

Has a real nice motor that puts him in position to make plays. Cade Doud dictates the pace of the game by forcing turnovers, initiating breakouts, executing zone entries and pressing opposing defenders. He makes you play at his speed.
