He was a middle-of-the-lineup guy for the Wolves last season, but will likely step into a more prominent role now as a junior. Anderson’s a solid energy guy with a flair for the dramatic; timely goal scoring at crucial points in the game.

Back-to-back 20-point seasons for the Lakers as an underclassman. Delmonte is a good skater who gets up and down the ice with pace. I also like his gap control defensively, putting him in position to stay engaged with the play in all three zones.

Led the Sailors in scoring last season with 23 goals as a sophomore. Mona is in line to make significant improvements, returning four of its top six scorers from ‘23-24. I expect Habetler to be at the forefront of the team’s offensive production along the way. 

Really good footwork, floating around the rink and maintaining good position. Hoerle was a top guy for the Jags as a sophomore and has only gotten better this offseason after playing in the Michigan Developmental Hockey League (MDHL).

I loved what I saw from him in the Michigan Developmental Hockey League (MDHL) this fall. Dell can fit into just about any role you need him to play, and play with a wide range of other player types as well. 

He’s got good size and a knack for creating offense on the rush. That combination of attributes made Wolf a dangerous threat, scoring 29 points in 27 games as a sophomore. A strong fall in the Michigan Developmental Hockey League (MDHL) has positioned Wolf to have a monster junior year.

Compact, athletic and steady. Damian is consistent in net and you know what you’re getting when you start him. He’s undefeated against Oakland Activities Association (OAA) teams in his two-year career, and could backstop the Wolves to another deep playoff run this winter.

Forster has good footwork and a nice motor, getting in the faces of opposing defenders and disrupting breakout attempts. He scored 15 goals and 33 points as a sophomore, but I’m curious to see how he holds up as the strength of schedule gets increasingly tougher.

One of the players I’m most excited to see this season. He was solid during his sophomore year and showed signs of being a bonafide stud this fall. A big year from Perrault could propel him into statewide conversation as a top defenseman in the Class of 2026. 

Surgery sidelined him for much of the offseason, but make no mistake, Staskowski was one of the most impactful sophomores in high school hockey last season. He led CVU with 44 points, forechecked his ass off and his effort in all three zones was evident.
