He had a very active offseason between Team Michigan tryouts and the MDHL fall season, and I expect his production from last season (21G, 36P) to improve significantly because of those efforts.

Aron carried the load for GRCC as a junior, pitching five shutouts and facing 30 or more shots on six separate occasions. The team is improved, so is Aron, and that could lead to a lot of Cougar wins this winter.

Every team in the state has a spot in their lineup for Anderson. He can facilitate on the power play, defend and kill penalties, and he’s consistent at 5-on-5. Not the most production but certainly the most important to RP.

Led the Dreads in scoring a season ago — 34 goals and 62 points — and will likely be counted on to do it again as a senior. Dexter lost 61.5 percent of its scoring to graduation last spring, leaving a significant gap up front.

On the heels of a 40-point season last winter, Penny should once again put up big numbers. He’s not a stat stuffer though; plays a 200-foot game, backchecks and really earns his scoring opportunities.

A good-skating defender that anchors the Lakers’ defensive efforts. They’ve got plenty of goal scorers but Delmonte plays an important role moving pucks and defending around the net.

Kapenga had an active offseason and has really elevated his play since scoring eight goals and 19 points as a junior. The team has a lot coming back offensively and I expect Kapenga and the Cougs to put up big numbers.

A streaky player with points in each of the team’s first eight games, as well as eight of the final nine last season. If Gould gets out to another hot start as a senior, he may not cool off.

Kamminga had a real good offseason, and is in line for a significant role in the Bulldogs offense. Seven goals and 12 points as a junior; that production could more than double considering his size, release and grit around the net.
