Ryan Dube had 35 goals and 27 assists in his senior season with the Spaulding High School boys hockey team, earning New Hampshire Division II Player of the Year honors.
“(Dube) is one of the most talented players to ever don the Red Raider uniform,” Spaulding head coach Jamie Ferullo said. “His competitiveness pushed everybody in practice each and every day. He was an integral part of turning this program around and setting us up for the future with a winning mentality.”
Dube finished his two-year career with Red Raiders with 54 goals and 49 assists for 103 career points.
“It was a pleasure to coach him over the two years and wish him the best of luck,” Ferullo said. “He’s the most deserving Player of the Year I’ve seen throughout my time coaching.”
The Seacoast dominated the Division II all-state selections with all six picks hailing from area schools.

Joining Dube, a forward, on the first team were Oyster River seniors Sawyer Levesque (defenseman) and Cole Harwood (goalie), St. Thomas Aquinas senior forward Garrett Aceto, Winnacunnet senior forward Brayden Emery, and Dover senior defenseman Kyle Behan.
Aceto had 27 goals and 25 assists for 52 points in the regular season for the Saints. He added five goals and an assist in three playoff games, leading St. Thomas to its state championship, a 4-2 win over Merrimack/Hollis-Brookline/Derryfield.
"(Aceto) had a monster year for us," St. Thomas head coach Chris Plummer said. "The year he had is a direct result of his commitment to the game of hockey, his preparation and his intensity day in, and day out. He's an extremely talented hockey player that many times this season put us on his back and won hockey games for us."
Harwood started 14 league games for the Bobcats this season with a 1.27 goals-against average. He allowed just one goal in 35 power-play opportunities.
“(Harwood) was at his best when other teams were on the power-play,” said Oyster River head coach and Cole’s father, Peter Harwood said. “Cole is a very technical goalkeeper with excellent rebound control and good angles. He kept us in every game, always giving us a chance to win."
Levesque had one goal and six assists this season for Oyster River.
“(Levesque) was our shut-down defenseman that we matched up against other team’s top forwards,” coach Harwood said. “He has elite skating ability and the best gap control we have ever coached. He was the key to our successful power-play. He used his impressive skating agility and speed to bring the puck up the ice and establish possession for us in the offensive zone."
Emery had 34 goals and 28 assists for 62 points this season for the Winnacunnet. He had 61 goals and 58 assists for 119 points in 71 career games.
“(Emery) has had a significant impact on the program both as a player and teammate over his four years at Winnacunnet,” Winnacunnet head coach Paul Kinnaly said. “Extremely committed and hardworking. It’s great to see him getting the recognition he richly deserves. And, as good a player as Brayden is, he’s an even better teammate and person. He absolutely will be missed.”
Behan had three goals and 15 assists this season for the Green Wave.
“Very well-deserved honor for (Behan),” Dover head coach Mike Young. “He logged a ton of minutes for us on even strength, power-play and penalty kill. He competes every time he touches the ice whether game or practice, and was always willing to do whatever he could to help the team succeed.”
St. Thomas Aquinas senior forward Jackson Estes and Portsmouth/Newmarket goalie Will Clark were second-team selections. Honorable mention picks included Oyster River junior forward Talon Beyer, Spaulding junior forward Tyler Jean, Spaulding senior defenseman Hunter Peplenski, and Dover sophomore defenseman Tyler Buchanan.
Exeter senior center West Vaillant was a Division I all-state honorable mention selection.
The annual New Hamsphire high school senior game, encompassing all three divisions, will be played this Sunday at The Rinks at Exeter. Selected participants are placed on one of four teams, and play in a round-robin format.
Seacoast players selected to play in this year’s game include Dube, Aceto, Emery, Estes, Behan, Levesque, Peplenski, Harwood, Vaillant, as well as Winnacunnet forward Alex Santora, Oyster River forward Liam Eddy, and Exeter forwards Connor Jaworski and Chase Barbour, and defenseman Brady Smith.
The Marshwood/Noble/Traip/Sanford hockey team had four Class A all-state selections. Senior Zac Camp was a first-team defenseman, seniors Makili Matty and Emmett Hammond were both second-team forwards, and junior Connor Lentz was a second-team goalie.
Ben Thyng was selected to play in the Maine senior all-star game.
York's senior defensemen Conor Fell and Brad Carr, and senior forward Liam Clark were Class B third-team selections, and junior defenseman/forward Josh Neal, and senior goalie Maclean Douris were honorable mention.
