Returnees

• The Stockton defense returns a proven core led by senior Shane Phillips, a 2025 CLC First Team selection who anchors the back line alongside junior Chris Funston. Phillips and Funston were first and second on the team in caused turnovers with 22 and 17 respectively last season. Phillips also finished second on the team with 36 ground balls.
• Short-stick defense should be an area of strength, led by junior Michael Hoey (27 GB, 5 CT last year) plus seniors Hunter VanZant (16 GB, 2 CT) and Dan Hyland (14 GB, 5 CT). Junior Camillo Marusco and sophomore Justin Besz give Stockton depth at SSDM.
• Junior Ben Blum gives the Ospreys stability in goal. Blum has started Stockton's last 25 games. He enters his third college season with 339 career saves, including 258 last year for the third highest total in program history. Junior Will Kasica also returns in goal. Kasica has played 65:27 and made 11 saves in his first two years.
• Sophomore Jack Vandegrift is coming off an excellent rookie season in which he led the team with 30 goals and eight assists for a team-high 38 points. Vandegrift became the third Osprey ever to be named conference Rookie of the Year. He was one of just five players to start all 19 games a year ago.
• Junior Gage Parker broke out offensively last year, finishing as the runner-up to Vandegrift in scoring with 28 goals and seven assists for 35 points. Parker played in all 19 games with 15 starts on the way to a CLC Second Team nod.
• Sophomore Josh Graham is another top returnee on offense. Graham was a key newcomer in 2025 as he finished third on the team with 21 goals while adding six assists and 28 ground balls in his freshman campaign.
• Junior Alex DeLierre returns from injury to give the offense a boost. Last year, DeLierre scored eight goals in four games before he went down. He will be looking to regain his freshman year form when he finished second on the team in goals (33) and points (46).
• Juniors Liam Humphrey and Colin Wagner could bolster the offense this season. Humphrey scored 14 points (8 G, 6 A) in 14 games last season. Wagner missed the 2025 slate due to injury after netting four goals in 14 games as a freshman.
• Sophomore defenders Mike Friel and Bryce Ruwet are looking to build on solid rookie seasons in which they each recorded eight caused turnovers. Friel scooped 19 ground balls and Ruwet snagged 11 ground balls last year.
• Senior Quinn Menet and juniors Anthony Cuccio and Tommy Pedicone add experience on defense. Menet is the veteran of the group with 18 career games played. Sophomore Michael D'Amico is back after playing in four games as a freshman.
• Sophomore Noah Williams returns at long-stick midfield after playing in all 19 games as a freshman. Williams tallied six caused turnovers and six ground balls last year. Senior LSM Connor Jablonski is a veteran who has 57 ground balls and 15 caused turnovers in 40 career games at Stockton.
• Seniors Tommy Vandegrift and Shane Kulhay enter their fourth season on the team as midfielders. Vandegrift has played in 39 games at Stockton, totaling 11 goals and eight assists for 19 points. Sophomores Colin Arcari and Ryan Weber also return in supporting roles at midfield.
• Seniors Nate Sears and Ben Malicki add maturity for the Ospreys on offense. Sears and Malicki have played in 12 and 10 career games respectively.
• Ty Thermann headlines a quartet of returnees at the faceoff spot. Thermann returns after playing in just seven games due to injury. In his limited time, he won 43.4% of his draws (43-99) with 22 ground balls and two goals.
• Sophs Braydn Strzelecki, Lucas Aaron and Noah Russ all gained experience on faceoffs last season. Russ saw the most action of the trio, taking 123 draws in 2025.

 Newcomers:

• Senior transfer Tyler Sininsky should bolster the goalkeeper position. Sininsky arrived at Stockton after three years at NJIT during which he appeared in seven games, compiling nine saves and a .529 save percentage in 41:48 of game action.
• Sophomore transfer Cole Blum could be a key addition on faceoffs. Blum won 47.7% of his draws (112-235) and grabbed 67 ground balls while playing in all 18 games as a freshman at Widener last season.
• Freshman Calen Reid is an attack/midfielder who could help offensively after scoring over 400 points at the scholastic level while twin brother Jamison Reid is a newcomer for the Ospreys at goalie.
• Freshmen Ty Christianson, Trevor Klapmuts and Jimmy Wasko will add to the depth at attack and freshman Brody Nussman will vie for playing time at midfield.
• Freshmen Declan Kiely and Chase Yesavage are newcomers on defense for the Ospreys and freshman Logan Potts joins Stockton's young group of faceoff specialists.
