Mora/Milaca went 7-18 last season and lost 6-1 to Princeton in the Section 5A Playoffs First Round. The record was rough, but the headline coming out of it is one of the best individual stories anywhere in Section 5A: a true freshman led the entire team in scoring, and he’s not coming off the roster anytime soon.
Players Lost to Graduation
Blake Karnik was the only real producer to graduate, finishing with 6 points (3 goals, 3 assists) and a power-play goal. Hunter Reynolds also graduates after seeing regular ice time without recording a point.
Returning Players for 2026-27
Ty Stanchfield led the entire team in scoring as a 9th grader — 21 goals, 35 assists, 56 points. That’s not a typo, and it’s not a misprint: a freshman outscored every single player on the roster, including all the upperclassmen. He’s a sophomore next year and already one of the most productive underclassmen anywhere in the state.
Jacob Szucs was right behind him at 49 points (24-25) as a junior, giving Mora/Milaca two players who combined for 105 points on a team that won seven games. Noah Donaghue, another true freshman, added 13 points. Ethan Abel scored 8 goals for 12 points, and Dakota Dickson contributed 11 from the blue line.
Goaltending
Dane Price carried the heaviest workload by far — 4-19, a .805 save percentage in 25 appearances, numbers that reflect a defense in front of him that allowed a lot of shots. Easton Hohn, also a true freshman, was sharper in limited duty — 4-0, an .885 save percentage in 10 appearances. Both return, and Hohn’s efficiency in a small sample is worth watching as he gets a larger role.
Who to Watch
Ty Stanchfield is the headline not just for this team, but for Section 5A as a whole — a 56-point freshman season is an exceptional debut. Jacob Szucs gives him a proven running mate, and together they’re one of the best returning duos in the section regardless of record. Easton Hohn’s early save percentage is the goaltending storyline to track as he takes on more starts.
What Mora/Milaca Needs to Replace

2026-27 Outlook
A 7-18 record undersells what Mora/Milaca actually has on this roster. Ty Stanchfield and Jacob Szucs form a 105-point duo that returns in full, and almost the entire supporting cast — including both goaltenders — comes back as well. The defense and depth scoring still need real improvement, but this is a program with its best player still years away from his ceiling.
Statistics reflect the 2025-26 regular season and Section 5A playoffs.
