Coach: Don Boucher (third year)

Last year’s record: 9-8-3, lost in Eastern Class A final

Returning players: Seniors — Sophie Goulet (D), Anna Desjardin (F), Lydia martin (D), Kayla Gelinas (F); Juniors — Nicole Keaney (G), Jenna Fongemie (D). Sophomores — Kayla McLellan (F), Kate Lecompte (F), Megan Hargreaves (F), Emily Poulin (F).

Key losses: None listed.

Promising newcomers: Senior — Lauren Ratsep (F); Junior — Marisa Zamrock (F), Emily Briggs (F); Sophomore — Kelly McLellan; Freshman — Faith Ida.

Outlook: Without a doubt, the Saints have the team to beat this season. Already potent, with Goulet, Martin and Fongemie on the back end and Keaney returning in goal, the Saints added Ratsep and Zamrock as transfers this season, and will be heavily favored to take home the state title.

Coach’s comment: “Life is good right now. We can run two linbes or more and not see a drop-off, and we’re getting good goaltending in the early going.” — Coach Don Boucher
