LaMay hit his stride after the New Year, scoring 41 of his 50 points last season in the second half. I expect that production to carry over to this winter after a very productive fall camp with MHA Navy.

Wilford is a natural on the blue line. He’s calm, composed and under control with the puck on his stick. He’ll likely see a significant bump to his role in the Clarkston lineup, set to be the Wolves’ top D-man playing big minutes in all three facets.

Sabala put up insane numbers last season as a first-year junior; 14 wins with a .933 save percentage and 1.51 goals-against average playing against the toughest strength of schedule in the state. It’s hard to imagine those numbers getting better but I think he enters his senior year with a chip on his shoulder and…

Sheldon is great in close quarters. When the game goes to the half walls, he shines, winning board battles, moving his feet from scrum to scrum and playing heavy on his stick. He’s earned every one of his 52 career points the hard way and could play his way into just about any lineup.

Charland is already in the conversation as being the top defenseman in the state, but a strong senior season would certainly separate him from the pack. He’s a bonafide junior hockey prospect who’s played at a AAA level all offseason with Team Michigan and the MDHL.

A versatile player that at one point even played D for the Wildcats last season, and played it well! He’s a big, athletic kid who’s strong on his skates, snaps pucks around and has a very heavy shot. I expect Winterstein to be a man on a mission this winter in Alpena.

Derksen forced his way onto Team Michigan last March with a tryout for the ages, ultimately becoming the team’s best option in net with a .938 save percentage and 2.00 goals-against average. He followed that up back-stopping the 3rd ranked Tier-2 team in the country this fall, and enters the season as a favorite for…

His top speed is pretty admirable. Not just that, but Arko can make dekes, navigate through traffic, and catch and receive passes without breaking stride. He flashes some slick hands too, which can make him tough to defend. Arko’s totaled 35 goals and 90 points in his varsity career.

His ability to flat out finish only got better this fall playing with 18U MHA Red. He led the fall team with 13 goals in 19 games, positioning himself as a top goal scorer in the state. Last winter was a record-setting season for Durbin, and after an offseason of improvements, it’s scary to think…
