Returning athletes: Seniors — Chloe Morin (F), Brianna Girardin (F); Juniors — Meagan Gosselin (G), Anna Dodge (D), Jaylin Cloutier (D), Jordan Mynahan (F), Olivia Randall (F); Sophomores — Katie Lemieux (D), Katie Poland (F), Jessica Clavet (F), Madison Mercier (F).

Season outlook: Dumont sees the North as a tough region from top to bottom this season. The Blue Devils will need to blend the few “seasoned” veterans they have with a host of talented, but unproven younger players to be competitive in the region. Gosselin will be called upon a lot in goal.
