Coach: Steve Ouellette (fourth year)

Last year’s record: 12-4-2 (Eastern Class A runners-up)

Returning players: Seniors — Spencer Martin (F), Cody Rodrigue (F), Danny Nadeau (F), Chris Finlay (F), Matt Roy (F), Cam Hainey (D); Juniors — Kyle Holtet (F), Willie Desmarais (D), Austin Christopher (G), Grant Carrier (G).

Key losses: Alex Parker, Dylan Rodrigue, Dakota Keene, Nate Bergeron.

Promising newcomers: Senior — Troy Haefele (F); Junior — Zack DeBlois (D); Sophomore — Avery Jones (D); Freshman — Brad Berube (F).

Outlook: At the completion of last season, the Saints were the paper favorites to come out of the East in 2012. Losing a pair of forwards unexpectedly will no doubt hurt the team’s depth, but the overall program depth should help the squad overcome those losses. As should the presence of two of the top goalies in the state playing side-by-side. If the Saints can develop a team chemistry between a largely new defense and the veteran forwards, that Eastern title is their for the taking.

Coach’s comment: “Our goal is to finish in the top two of the division.” — Coach Steve Ouellette
