2025 roster — 26 players, 19-5 · RPI 3 · MPSF, 8 still on this roster

The squad as the school published it that season, saved at the time — the page it came from was replaced when the next season started. Held separately from the roster above, so a man on both appears once in each rather than twice in one. Now is where he is playing today.

Roster turnover · since 2025

Worked out by setting the 2025 squad (26) against this one (21) — 8 of that squad are still here. Nobody publishes this: a programme announces its signings and never announces a departure, so the men who left show up only as an absence between two rosters. Matched on the player rather than on the name, so a man listed with a middle name on one roster and without it on the other is one person and not both a departure and an arrival.
