After falling short in the Division 1 championship last season, Bishop Feehan occupies the top spot in the first Globe poll of the 2025 season.
The always-game Shamrocks will feature an intriguing mix of veteran talent and new faces. Defending D1 champion Wellesley debuts at No. 4.
The Division 2 title holder and No. 1-ranked team at the end of last season, Masconomet, cracks the top three behind No. 2 Natick, which produced an undefeated regular season last year and won the D1 title in 2023. Division 3 powerhouses Norwell and Medfield slot in at No. 5 and No. 6, respectively.
The Bay State Conference and Hockomock League each place four teams in the poll, an indication of the strength of each league.
