Odds and ends: Last year's team had the best winning percentage since the 1990-91 team that went 16-5-0. ... Goalie Ryan Whyte could have a breakout season. ... Junior Ryan Sifferlen is a co-captain along with Jon Blackwell. ... New assistant Neil Kelleher played at Haverhill High and Southern Maine.

Coach Denis Barrette (4th year, 33-23-7): "(Ryan Sifferlen) has good vision for the game and a great attitude. It's going to be interesting to see what's going to happen for his career. We have a very good group of disciplined players with a very good attitude. It's been a long time since I've had players with that kind of attitude. We might be younger, but we might be able to compensate."
