Division 3 hockey is back.
After a season that saw two of the region’s players – forward Ryan Black of Babson and goalie Conor O’Brien of Endicott – share the Concannon Award as Division 3’s best player, there’s a new crop of stars ready to take the ice starting this weekend.

Here is a look at 10 players to watch, who either play for one of New England's D-3 teams or are from the region.
