St. Mary’s is back. The 2014-15 season was the Lancers’ last in the Fed. The school was without a hockey program the following season and spent last year playing in the Western New York Club League. St. Mary’s won a Super Sunday Championship last season, led by forwards Lucas Prince and Brendan Krawczyk and goaltenders Cam Ruggiero and Kyle Karoleski. …
It’s only the preseason, but West Seneca West has playoffs in mind. The seemingly snakebitten Indians have lost in the first round of the playoffs the past two years after finishing near or at the top of the division both seasons.

Mobus left Amherst after the 2012-13 season for the Buffalo Jr. Sabres …
