AAA | Zack Gielarowski | Peters Twp | Booming shot, great leader and probably the top defensman in Western Pennsylvania is why Peters is at the top of AAA |
AA | Connor Quinn | Quaker Valley | Staggering stats were a norm in Class A ………this kid has raised his play to another level in Class AA and Quakers are a dangerous team when playoff bell rings |

A | Matt Kreiger | Thomas Jefferson | Smooth and powerdul skater who every time he touches the puck can score for TJ |
