Coach: Joe Hutchinson (first year)

Class/Region: A North

Last year’s record: N/A

Key returning athletes: Lucas Perry, Bailey Drouin, Drake Goupil, Brandon Michaud, Brandon Pelton, Connor Cyr, Hunter Soucy, Parker Springer.

Promising newcomers: Nate Marcotte, Ashton Dozois, Theo Mahaleris, Austin Taylor.

Season outlook: The Poland/Gray-New Gloucester/Oak Hill co-operative team has combined with Leavitt to take two programs with low numbers and make one bigger, stronger team. Added depth has meant increased competition in practice, which Hutchinson (who coached Leavitt the last three years) hopes translates into success during games. Neither team saw much success last year, but playoffs are the goal this season. Solid goaltending and defensive play will be keys to get there.
