Coach: Ed Gaudiano (fifth year)
Last season: 6-9
Key players: Justin Burl, sr.; Kirk Dillon, sr.; Kevin Ryan, sr.; Sam Melanson, sr.; John Cutter, sr.; Dan Durant, sr.; Joe Ciavacco, sr.
Contributors: Darren Wright, jr.; Eric Cretsch, so.; Dean Cataldo, fr.; Michael Karol, sr.; Josh Webster, jr.; Bruce Pollard, jr.; Andrew Sokol, fr.
Strengths: Experience. With a strong group of veteran midfielders, the Clippers should make a push toward the playoffs. From offense to defense, Newburyport's returning starters could be a handful.
Concerns: Goaltending. The Clippers are looking for a dependable goalie in Cataldo and Karol. Depth may come into play as the season progresses.
First game: Newburyport at Ipswich, March 28 (3:45 p.m.)
Coach's outlook: "If we can settle down the goalie situation and play some good defense, we should be alright. Once the kids get into game shape, I think our speed should also serve us well."
