All-Scholastics for the 2024-25 winter season are right around the corner, but before that, we need some assistance from our readers.
This year, we will be leaning on our readership to help pick our players of the year in each sport.
Similar to past years with our Male and Female Athletes of the Year, readers will have a voice in who the players of the year are for this year under the new format. This year however, the pool of elite players has been narrowed down even farther, a challenge in and of itself. We limited each school to a maximum of one candidate.
Vote for our High School Boys Hockey Player of the Year. Reader votes will make up 20% of the tally, with our four staff reporters (Eric McHugh, Jason Snow, Ryan Vermette and Chris McDaniel) making up the rest of the vote.
