the championship twice,
1 year of the Interstate Junior Hockey Leagues playoffs and 8 years

in the conference
they played with the exception of Apple Core who they didn’t face

Bay State Breakers
and Boston Junior Bruins. The Leafs have 3 games remaining including
1 with the Breakers.
The season series is 1-1-1 with the winner of the game taking 3rd overall
place.
The Leafs are 28-5-2 in league play and overall have a 43-28-8 record.

are led by Brouillard
with 97 points followed by Mitrano with 93 points, Patrick Avery with
84 points, Cordeiro
with 79 points, Ryan Merz with 70 points, Andrew Mathieu with 63 points

The Leafs are looking to make their 6th consecutive appearance at Nationals

a very tough ahead of them when the CHA playoffs begin in Philadelphia
Mar 11-13th.
The Leafs will have some exciting news not only for college commitments
but their plans for the 2011-12 season. It will all be appearing on their
website
over the next month or so. The Leafs plan on having a couple of camps
as well
as entering some very large tournaments this upcoming Spring and Summer.
