Coach: Joel Smith (16th year)

Conference: KVAC Class: A

Last year: 3-9-2

Returning players: Chris Marshall (M/F), Sam Smith (M/F), Alden Thompson-Voight (M), Reed Wells (M), Andrew Haszko (M), Tristan Mcfarlane (D), Thomas Marshall (D), Michael Titus (D), Joe Crandall (D), Dom Giampietro (M).

Season outlook: The Cougars are looking to improve as the season moves forward. Defensively, Mt. Blue gave up a lot of goals last year, but Smith is hopeful the team can reduce the goals allowed. Offensively, the Cougars need to find a way to generate shots to ultimately take pressure off the defense. If they can win a few big games early and generate both momentum and confidence, they will be successful.
