Coach: Joe Hutchinson (third year)
Region/Class: Southern Maine Class B
Last year’s record: 3-15
Key returning athletes: Seniors – Kevin Knight (defense), Blayne Arsenault (forward), Joe Baumann (forward); Juniors – Lucas Perry (defense), Hunter Soucy (forward), Drake Goupil (forward).
Key losses: Ryan Gosselin, Ashton Dozois (injury), Kyle Knight.
Promising newcomers: Sophomores – Connor Cyr (forward), Parker Springer (defense), Garrett Derocher (forward); Dakota Soucy (goalie).
Season outlook: The Hornets were very young last year, and the experience gained from last season has helped mature the returning core. Leavitt is a good skating team overall, and will roll out two solid forward lines. The defense will be anchored by upperclassmen in Knight and Perry, which will be key in front of senior goalie Caleb Morlano and freshman goalie Dakota Soucy. Playoffs are a possibility this year.
