Gabby Allen, St. Dom’s, senior, forward: Allen recorded nine goals and five assists last season, and St. Dom’s/Lisbon will rely on her even more this season after the departure of key players.

Emily Andrews, St. Dom’s, senior, defense: After potting 11 goals and four assists as a forward in 2023-24, Andrews moves to defense this season. Expect her to use her offensive prowess from the blue line.

Emma Berube, Oak Hill, sophomore, forward: Berube was a part of Lewiston’s strong 2023-24 freshman class. She was third on the team in scoring, with seven goals and 11 assists, and again will be one of the go-to options for Lewiston/Oak Hill/Mt. Ararat/Morse.

Avery Cologna, Leavitt, junior, defense: Cologna will be counted on in many different situations for the Red Hornets. Despite being a defender, she’s Edward Little/Leavitt/Monmouth/Poland/Oxford Hills’ top returning scorer with 16 goals and seven assists a season ago.

Avaya Desjardins, Lewiston, senior, defense: Desjardins will lead Lewiston/Oak Hill/Mt. Ararat/Morse on the blue line. The defender isn’t afraid to chip in offensively, having tallied two goals and seven assists in 2023-24.

Kylie Dulac, Lewiston, sophomore, forward: The reigning Sun Journal All-Region Player of the Year is poised to have another big year after posting 29 goals and seven assists as a freshman last season.

Crew Langley, Lewiston, senior, forward: Langley will be one of the players feeding the puck to Kylie Dulac this season. As a junior, Langley led the team with 18 assists to go along with seven goals.

Leah Michaud, Mt. Blue, junior, defense: Michaud is another solid offensive defender who put up 12 goals and eight assists in her sophomore season. She will be one of the top players again as the Winslow co-op eyes another playoff run.

Alana Wheeler, St. Dom’s, freshmen, goalie: Wheeler was solid in net for the Saints as an eighth-grader, earning Sun Journal All-Region honors. She will be counted on to make a lot of saves for St. Dom’s/Lisbon again this season.

Abrianna White, Monmouth, senior, goalie: White joins the Red Hornets program after playing in a co-op with St. Dom’s in her freshmen and sophomore seasons. Adding a veteran goalie will help Edward Little/Leavitt/Monmouth/Poland/Oxford Hills as it tries to improve from its 7-12 record in 2023-24.
