The speedy forward was the area's leading scorer with 26 goals and 25 assists and became only the sixth Hilltopper to ever go over the 100 point plateau for his career. Narciso also was adapt at coming back to check and was a great penalty killer and always a threat to score a short-handed goal.

Durfee's quiet goalie had a very loud senior year. He was the backbone of a team that prided itself on defense. During the regular season Friar had five shutouts and a minuscule goals against average of 1.39.
After a shaky playoff opener against Weymouth, he rebounded like a champion and made 42 saves on 45 shots against powerful Framingham.

Playing on the same line as Narciso, Connolly complemented his teammate perfectly and they fed off of each and other. Connolly had his finest year scoring 16 goals and assisting on 18 others. He was also an excellent penalty killer and a deadly checker, as valuable defensively as he was on offense.
The hard-hitting Crowley was always in the middle of the action. He was perhaps the most physically gifted defenseman in the area, a great stick handler with rink-length rushing ability and tremendous hockey knowledge. Crowley had 2 goals and 14 assists in the regualar season and added a couple more assists in the tournament.
Feldman was the area's best defenseman, somebody who never seemed to be out of position and never made a mistake. He was like another coach on the ice for the Hilltoppers, an anchor that Coach Steve Maurer could always depend on to make the right decision. He also scored 4 goals and added 10 assists.
