    Coming into the season, the Franklin blue line was largely inexperienced and a point of concern, but senior defenseman Thomas Sicchio stepped in to solidify that position and provide leadership for the league champion Panthers. Sicchio led the Panthers in assists this season with 24 and chipped in with a pair of goals as well, but more importantly he stepped up to become a physical presence for Franklin defensively. Franklin coach Chris Spillane said, “Thomas was our leader on the blue line. Thomas has great ice vision and his passing skills are off the chart.”




    Brendan O’Rielly – Franklin – Forward

Franklin coach Chris Spillane said of O’Rielly, “He has great skating ability, shoots very well, and has great stick-handling skills.”
