Bode Farr
He’s got real good size and shows flashes of being dangerous with the puck on his stick. Farr scored 34 points a season ago for Ike and could really shine as a senior after a productive offseason.
Read MoreMatthew Naida
Naida scored 10 goals and 17 points in 11 MDHL games this fall. He showed an impressive ability to change directions and evade defenders with the puck on his stick. The Shamrocks need offense up front, and Naida could certainly help provide that.
Read MoreTyler-Boynton Fisher
Should be arrested for the amount of games he stole last season for the Reps. Two 2-1 wins, two 2-0 shutouts and a 3-1 victory as well. If Boynton-Fisher could get any kind of run support this season, the Reps could rebound in a big way.
Read MoreCharlie Roberts
Roberts has played 58 games with the Eaglets’ A-team, and is one of two four-year lettermen on the roster this season. He’s a big reason this group has such great chemistry and continuity on the ice.
Read MoreColin Stroble
Not the biggest or fastest or strongest, but is so smart that nothing else matters. Stroble has a great feel for the game, anticipates well and should log a ton of minutes for Stevenson against opponents’ top lines.
Read MoreErik Loukus
He’s got a nose for the puck, tracking down the play and coming away with possession. If you give him an open look, Loukus is going to finish too. His 31 points led all Copper Kings in scoring last season.
Read MoreLandon Smith
A high-energy guy who’s hard not to notice for the Bulldogs. Smith has posted back-to-back 30-point seasons with Grandville, and a third one from him just might put them back in the D-II Final Four.
Read MoreAyden Karas
Karas’ skills are hard to quantify but I just feel like he’s constantly coming up with that bail-out save when there’s a breakdown in front of him. His 65 games in net are second-most among active goaltenders.
Read MoreBlake Tice
Tice holds his position real well in the crease, tracking the puck and not giving up much on the initial shot. In 17 starts last season, he held opposing offenses to two goals or fewer 11 times, with three of those being shutouts.
Read MoreGianluca Di Salvo
Few players in the game get an “A+” for positioning at this level — especially centers — but Di Salvo plays the middle as good as anyone in all three zones. I gotta imagine his plus-minus rating is off the charts.
