Key Concerns: “Learning how to win after a difficult season and team chemistry. Many guys deserve to play. Trying to find the mix will be a challenge.”

Coach’s Comment: “I like our team, but it will be a difficult journey. We have a tough early schedule (Cheverus, South Portland, Portland, Deering before the Christmas break). We’re a senior-dominated team with a lot of experience and that should help. Hard work in the off season should help us compete for a playoff spot.”

We have some great younger skiers and kids coming up from the middle school, so we are building. The program’s growing every year.”
