The Strongsville Mustangs posted a 18-14-2 record last season and finished second in the Red Central with a 6-5-1 mark in league play. The ‘Stangs eventually fell to the Cinderella team of the Brooklyn District – Olmsted Falls – in the OHSAA tournament.

The Mustangs will be led by senior captain Jake Schuette, senior assistant captains Cameron Moteleski, Devyn Martineau and Nate Rajecki, as well as senior Lance Trihas and senior goalie Nick Harris.

Early returns have been mixed for Strongsville – they picked up a pair of wins to open the season, 4-2 over Cleveland Heights and 6-4 over North Olmsted, but have also been on the wrong end of a 7-0 skunking by Mentor and were shut out in two of their four games at the Chiller Thanksgiving Tournament in Columbus.
