110 career points for the third-year player heading into his senior season. Gleason has good size, skates decently and anticipates the play very well. I love this kid’s all-around game, as it translates well to the next level.

Melinn is a rare combination of size and athleticism in net. His numbers won’t ‘wow’ you with a career save percentage of .909 and goals-against average north of 2.50, but the most important numbers may be 27 career wins in 38 varsity appearances. 

Was one of seven Chargers last season to average a point per game. Three of them have since graduated, and Burny could now become a focal point of this Powers offense while also being the cornerstone of their defensive unit. 

The Yellowjackets graduated their top four scorers from a season ago. Crozier may just be the guy to fill that offensive void, considering he was a point-per-game producer last season as a junior, and a decorated AAA background before that.

Could be the Copper Kings’ most improved player from a season ago. Boberg had a good fall season with the 18U Wisconsin Windigo in the North American Prospects Hockey League (NAPHL), and I expect both him and Calumet to take a huge step this winter. 

Howell is 19-5-0 all-time when Huotari records a point and 3-10-1 when he does not. Stop Huotari, stop the Highlanders, but that’s a tall task considering he scored 42 points last season as a junior. 

He comes from a AAA pedigree and has played for both Michigan Hockey Advancement (MHA) and the Michigan Developmental Hockey League (MDHL) in consecutive offseasons. Ross has the experience to be a factor at the high school level and an increased opportunity to do so this winter.

He has a career goals-against average of 1.56 and save percentage of .926 over the span of his three varsity seasons. Marquette’s playing style doesn’t call upon Kelly to make a flurry of saves — he’s faced 30 or more shots just six times in his career — but when needed, he’s as good as…

Missed all but five games last season with an injury. DuMont returns for his senior year on the heels of a strong fall campaign in the Michigan Developmental Hockey League (MDHL). Remember, this was a guy who scored 29 points in 26 games just two years ago. 

Anderson didn’t get much run support last season with the Eagles in the bottom 10 in the state for goals scored. But, he proved to be one of the best goalies in the Michigan Developmental Hockey League (MDHL) this fall, with a 2.70 goals-against average and .937 save percentage against top-level competition.
