Latlippe (Forward). Key losses: N/A Promising newcomers: Freshman — Abby Roy. Outlook: EL/Leavitt had a strong season last year making it to the regional semi-finals and look to go even deeper this season. They didn’t lose any players from last year’s squad. If the chemistry carries over from last season, they should be one of the top contenders coming out of Eastern Maine. Coach's comment: “We have a lot of experience and talent returning from last year's team, but will need some of the freshmen and players who have not seen a lot of game action to contribute. Even though we are two schools, we have truly come together

as a team early in the season. If that team atmosphere, along with the strong leadership, positive attitude, and commitment to hard

work remain throughout the season, we should reach our goal of winning a playoff game this year.” — Coach Shon Collins
Freshmen — Madison Brooks, Katie Cowan, Meaghan Dube, Grace Hayes, Emma Paradie, Kristein Morissette, Abby Potvin; Boys: Seniors — Brandon Polisky, Brandon Smith, Hunter Bishop; Sophomore — Jake Bazinet; Freshman — Michal Cwik, Outlook: The girls’ team is expected to remain strong, led by seniors Goulette, Gagne and Levesque as well as Paione, a sophomore, and Paradie, a freshman. The boys’ team has doubled in size and should be stronger, led by seniors Paione and Stubbs and Cwik, a Andrew Paione Olivia Paione Rachel Gagne freshman. Coach’s comment: “We return 22 boys and girls, and we have added 21 new swimmers, many with competitive swimming experience.” — Coach Scott Morrison
Key losses: Ben Bowles, Nigel Bowles, Jesse Williams, Phoebe Chamberlin, Hannah Fournier. Promising newcomers: Boys: Freshmen — Tanner Dillingham, Gareth Robinson, Isaac Elliott, Trent Robbins, Levi Sterling, Jack Adams; Girls: Freshmen — Brooke Lever, Delia Demers, Anna Hathaway. Outlook: The Eddies are very young and keeping things simple to start. But if they peak at the right time, they have the talent to make noise in Class A. Cote, Mancini, and Blanchard
have top-10 potential. If they reach it and some freshmen emerge, the boys could surprise in Class A. The girls should be strong with Lever, the defending KVAC champion in the giant slalom and runner-up in slalom.
Samantha Goulette
Coach’s comment: “We’re just kind of bring back the basics and really just focusing on the team and ski racing.” — Coach Tara Eretzian
