Info from coach Steve Bodge

Season Outlook: The Black Raiders are much younger than a year ago. They have only two Seniors on the roster and have added 6 freshman to fill the void of last years big Senior class. Coach Bodge has very similar expectations as last year; finish in the top tier of the Northern Maine division and make a deep playoff run. Broghan Gagnon will take over for 4 year starter Hillary Libby in goal while huge overall contributions will be expected from returning sophomores in Veilleux, Bernard, and Sara Doughty. Kate Larsen will be turned to for leadership and midfield presence for the young Raiders. The offensive load will also fall on some returners in Santos and Guimond as well as newcomers Quirion, Katie Doughty, and Smith.
Coach’s Comments: If the underclassmen and newcomers play to their potential, this team will be right where they want to be come late October.
