Coach: James LeBlanc (Fifth year)

Last year’s record: 10-16-2

Returning players: Seniors — Mike Kelly, Kale Johnstone, Matt Bouchard, Alex Bitsakis, Raphael Blouin. Juniors — Olivier Frenette, DJ Steed, Austin Goldstein.

Key losses: Shane Hearn, Nick Owen.

Promising newcomers: Postgraduate — Billy Savino.  Juniors — Austin Wildes, Jackson Parker.

Outlook: Hebron will have to replace the production of Shane Hearn as the Auburn native is playing at Army this season. With a solid veteran core, the Lumberjacks are poised to improve from last year’s record and battle to get into the playoffs.

Coach’s comment: “A commitment to defensive play and taking advantage of scoring opportunities will be key for the Lumberjacks this year. With a young (defensive) core, experience and depth up front and solid goaltending, Hebron is looking to build off a strong end to the 2011-2012 season right from the get go.” — Coach James LeBlanc
