Boys High School Hockey Team Previews #7-#10

The teams that finished between #7 & #10 in boys high school hockey last season have many things in common. They all graduated a large number of players, they all lost over half of their team's goals from last season due to graduation, and they're all going to be hard pressed to finish as high in the standings as they did last season because of their significant losses via graduation.

#10-Arrowhead-The team's graduation losses begin with All-State forward Zach Kohn who notched 75 points last season as well as forward Rick Wozniak who had 56 points last season. All told Arrowhead graduated 4 forwards, 2 defensemen and 2 goaltenders. Nearly 63% of their goal-scoring has graduated.
