The junior forward led Moses Brown in points (9G, 11A) this winter. The Quakers were consistently one of the top teams in D-I and are searching for their first title since 2011-12.

Michael Bessette, Pilgrim

Bessette’s played in net every game this season. He had a 1.83 goals-against average with a 93% save percentage over a stunning 958 minutes. The senior netminder has certainly been a steady force for the fourth-ranked team in D-I this winter.

Austen Dufresne, East Greenwich/Toll Gate

The defending D-II champions are back in contention for another title. Dufresne scored 14 goals in the regular season to pace the co-op’s balanced scoring attack.

Zach Fontenault, Hendricken

Joseph Magiera (12), Moses Brown, Zachari Fontenault, Hendricken goalie, Jan. 9, 2026

Hendricken’s skaters get plenty of attention, so how about some appreciation for its goalie? Fontenault took over the reigns as the Hawks’ netminder this season and has been excellent. The junior has a 0.86 goals-against average mark in 15 games played with a 95% save percentage.

Will Gaffney, Prout

Prout graduated a lot of its scoring from last year’s runner-up squad. But Gaffney returned and paced the Crusaders’ forward line with 17 goals and five assists.

Shane Gaudreau, La Salle

Hendricken defenseman Sebastian Nault spits La Salle players Shane Gaudreau and Tucker Cobery during first period action.

Gaudreau finished fifth in points and goals (14) in D-I. The Rams were the only in-state team to beat Hendricken this season and the junior delivered a goal in the victory.

Ben Humm, Portsmouth

Ben Humm, goalie Portsmouth boys hockey.

Portsmouth has been blessed with consistent goalie play the last few years. And Humm continued that trend in his first season as the starter. The sophomore allowed just 18 goals with a 94% save percentage this season.

Alex Pickering, Blackstone Valley Schools

Pickering scored 18 goals this winter to help grab the Knights the fifth seed in D-II. He also handed out six assists over 16 games.
