Osseo Boys Hockey Season Preview 2026-27

Osseo went 4-22 last season and lost 3-1 to St. Paul in the Section 4A Playoffs First Round. It was a hard year by any measure. But almost everyone who scored a point for Osseo last season is coming back — only one of the team’s top five scorers graduates.

Players Lost to Graduation

Zach Nunn leaves as the team’s leading scorer — 7 goals, 7 assists, 14 points, with 2 power-play goals. Charlie Stockbridge added 3 points from the blue line, and Kiley Johnson had 2.

In net, none of last season’s four goaltenders graduate. The entire group returns.

Returning Players for 2026-27

Kameron Olson was the actual No. 2 scorer last season, not just among returners — 5 goals, 8 assists, 13 points. He’s a junior next year and the clear top returning option.

Cole Sawicky and Anthony Olejar both finished with 9 points. Carter Murphy and Luke Bjork each had 8. Will Schmidt scored 5 goals for 7 points. This is a deep group for a team that struggled — six different players with real point totals, and none of them seniors leaving after this season except where noted.

Henry Passehl and Jaxson Towey each had 3 points as true freshmen. Will Sargent, an 8th grader, also got on the board. That’s an unusually young core even by youth-movement standards.

Goaltending

Harrison Betker carried the heaviest workload by far — 18 appearances, a 3-14 record, but a .908 save percentage that’s a lot better than the win total suggests. He’s a junior next year. Layne Krzoska and Connor Albers also return with smaller samples. Betker’s the one to watch; the rest is just depth behind him.

Who to Watch

Kameron Olson is the new top scorer. Cole Sawicky, Anthony Olejar, Carter Murphy and Luke Bjork give Osseo actual depth, even if the totals are modest. Harrison Betker’s .908 save percentage on a bad team is the most encouraging individual number on the roster — that’s a goalie who kept games closer than the score sometimes showed.

What Osseo Needs to Replace

  • Zach Nunn’s 14 points
  • Senior leadership from a small graduating class

2026-27 Outlook

Osseo’s record says rebuild. The roster says something closer to “still building, but not starting over.” Kameron Olson, Cole Sawicky, and a wave of freshmen and sophomores who already have varsity minutes give this program real continuity, and Harrison Betker’s number in net is better than his record. None of that fixes a 4-22 season by itself, but it’s a real foundation for a program with almost nowhere to go but up.

Statistics reflect the 2025-26 regular season and Section 4A playoffs.
