Opener: Dec. 8 vs. St. Mary's at Connery Rink, 6:40 p.m.

Odds and ends: Six underclassmen left the program including Scott Shiner (30 goals, 11 assists), who transferred to Lawrence Academy. ... Assistant Glen Seabury is one of the hockey-playing Seabury triplets from Stoneham. ... Steve Resca, a 2005 Eagle-Tribune All-Star, is assisting his old coach.

Coach Frank Golden (7th year, 74-38-17): "Tim McAuliffe, Fred Hein, Matt Calos they are the catalysts. I'm counting on them to do better than a year ago and we should be fine. Tyler Pascucci came back bigger and stronger. I just think he'll have an impact year for us. Garrett Topping I think will be a surprise (in net). We should be somewhere in the upper tier."
