At 6-foot and 155 pounds, I think there’s a lot of potential here. Ultimately, Mathews has the look, skates well, handles pucks and could have a huge senior season playing opposite Alex Hoerle on the back end.

Has really grown — literally, four inches taller than a season ago — and developed into a varsity-caliber No. 1 defenseman for the Bulldogs. Walkup skates and handles pucks well, ready to step into a more prominent role as a junior.

Masek has a well-rounded game. He skates fluidly, handles pucks smooth enough and makes the simple plays. Not the flashiest player in CC’s arsenal but certainly an important one who’s small moves make big impacts.

A defensive prospect on the rise. Gardine has the size at 6-foot-2, skates well, moves pucks, and I believe his hockey IQ and understanding of the game has come a long way in the last 12 months.

He’s been coached well. Murphy shows a great understanding of responsibilities in the D-zone, picking up guys away from the play and closing down passing lanes. Four goals and 14 points as a sophomore last season.

A buzzsaw type who plays with good energy and stays busy. Pilch scored 10 goals in the MDHL this fall, and could really see his role in the St. Mary’s offense expand after a productive offseason.

Does his best work along the walls, finishing checks and engaging physically, and then getting off the wall and attacking with purpose once he has possession. Led the Eaglets with 26 goals and 43 points as a sophomore.

He could explode onto the scene the statewide scene this winter. After back-to-back 20-point seasons for the Wolves, Anderson put together an impressive fall season with MHA Red scoring nine goals and 19 points. Watch him play his way into the conversation of top tier of forwards in the state.
