While Aaron Cummings (4, 1) and Nick Russo (4, 1) have had success as well. Jimmy Hickey, with 104 saves, will look to keep the Blue Streaks out of the net.

For the Blue Streaks Andrew "Willie" Ransing (13, 6) and Lata Petros (7, 4) are the main scorers while Luis Arauz (4, 5), Kyle Lin (4, 3), Josh Tubay (4, 3), and Jordan Wallace (3, 5) all had more than 10 points (2 points for goals, 1 point for assists) on the season.
