Ice chips: This game is a rematch of the Raiders’ 7-2 win a year ago which gave them their first state championship.

The Firebirds, who are 41-9 over the last two seasons, will be seeking the second state title in school  history; their first came in 2015.

Since the Atlantic Prep Athletic Conference was launched in the 2018-19, three of its teams have won state titles: La Salle in 2019 and ’23, and Malvern Prep in 2021.

La Salle is also the last Class AAA team to successfully defend, in 2009.
