Caire is one of the team's captains for this season and has a Manor College Hard Hat Player of the Game Award (as selected by the Blue Jays' coaching staff).  He has started 11 of the 12 games in goal for Manor.  Caire also played in two other games outside the net.  Overall, he has a 6-4-1 record this season.  Caire has allowed two or fewer goals in eight of his 11 starts.  He registered his first collegiate shutout versus Delaware County Community College on September 28, 2017, stopping all seven shots on goal in the 2-0 win.  Caire also appeared in four games in 2016.  He won in his first collegiate start versus Lehigh Carbon Community College on October 8, 2016.  Caire stopped nine of 10 shots and contributed an assist in the victory.  Altogether, he has played in 16 career games (12 starts) as a goalkeeper with a 7-4-1 record.

Dempster on Caire: "Emanuel shined in the net and won the respect of his teammates.  Manny is one of the most skilled goalies we've had in a long time."

Cabrera has started in all 14 games he has played this season and also has been selected for a Hard Hat Player of the Game in 2017.  He scored his first collegiate and game-winning goal and registered an assist versus Williamson College of the Trade on October 9, 2017.  Cabrera is among team leaders with 18 shots overall and 10 on goal.  He also saw action for the Blue Jays in 2016.

Greenwood is also one of the Manor's captains and has also been selected for a Hard Hat Player of the Game this season.  He has played and started in 15 games this season.  Greenwood played forward for the 2016 Blue Jays.  He scored two goals and contributed two assists in a 5-1 victory at Harrisburg Area Community College on October 1, 2016.  Greenwood shared the team lead with four assists in his freshman season.

Dempster on Greenwood: "Arthur 'Trey' Greenwood will be missed.  He started his sophomore year as the go-to leader.  He gets respect from the entire team and after each game he clearly earns the respect from our opponent."

Hirschman has come off the bench in 11 games in his only season for the Blue Jays.
