Coach: Mike Bishop (first year)

Region/Class: Northern Maine Class A

Last year’s record: 8-10

Key returning athletes: Seniors – Jacob Baggs (defense), Conor Drouin (forward); Junior – Deryk Belanger (defense/forward); Sophomores – Bailey Drouin (defense), Brandon Michaud (forward).

Promising newcomers: Sophomores – Brandon Pelton (defense), Garrett Haskins (forward); Freshmen – Andrew Pelton (defense), Kenny Humphrey (goalie), Trent Vaillancourt (forward).

Season outlook: There is a lot that is new and unknown for the 26ers this season. Bishop takes over as head coach after spending the last four years as Mt. Ararat/Lisbon/Morse. He inherits a young team, with just four upperclassmen. Health and lack of depth will test the 26ers, who will send out two solid forward lines.
