Top 10 Defensemen & Forwards: 2025-2026 Final Full Season Leaders
The 2025-2026 Massachusetts prep season is officially over - regular season and playoffs combined. Sam Fishbone finishes as the top defenseman, and Jack Queally takes the forward crown. Here are the final Top 10 at each position.
With the NEPSAC Championships in the books, we can now put a bow on the 2025-2026 season for Massachusetts 2010-born prep players. Sam Fishbone (St. Sebastian's) finishes as the top-scoring defenseman with 29 points (6G, 23A), and Jack Queally (St. Sebastian's) claims the forward title with 37 points (16G, 21A). The postseason shook up the standings - several players made significant moves in the final rankings.
Sam Fishbone held the top spot all the way through, finishing with 29 points (6G, 23A). But the biggest mover on the blueline was Nicholas Ware, who added two assists during the playoffs to finish with 25 points (0G, 25A) and solidify his grip on the #2 spot. Ware's 25 assists without a single goal is one of the most unique stat lines in the class. Logan Cotter (St. Marks) climbed to third with 22 points (5G, 17A), while NEPSAC Small School champion Tyler Poti (Winchendon) moved up to fourth with 17 points after his assist in the championship game. Brendan Martin was the other big riser - the St. Sebastian's and River Rats defenseman jumped to #5 with 13 points (2G, 11A), adding three assists during the postseason run.

Jack Queally finishes where he started - at the top. The St. Sebastian's forward and River Rat capped the season with 37 points (16G, 21A), the most of any 2010-born player in Massachusetts. Queally was also one of just three Massachusetts 2010s selected to the USA NTDP Evaluation Camp, alongside Blake Wilichoski (Milton Academy) and Sam Lee (Belmont Hill). Carter Felt (Rivers) finished second at 34 points with a class-leading 20 goals that no other forward came close to matching. The biggest shakeup was at #3: Thomas Egan (Austin Prep) surged past Sam Lee (Belmont Hill) in the final stretch, finishing with 32 points (13G, 19A) to Lee's 31 (15G, 16A). Egan's emergence was one of the stories of the season.
Drew Short (Winchendon) was another player who elevated his game when it mattered most. The River Rat scored a goal in the NEPSAC Small School Championship and finished with 26 points (8G, 18A), climbing to #6 on the final list. Michael Barrett (Phillips Andover) also made a late push with a 3-point playoff performance against St. Paul's, ending at 23 points (10G, 13A) for #7. Dekleine and Needham finished tied at 20 for #8, while Jamie Calla (Governors Academy) rounded out the top 10 at 18.
