The offensive trio of Andrew Neilson, Alex Sirois, and EJ Hines EJ Hines 6'2" | 165 lbs | A/M | Right Hand Air Academy | 2028 CO made Air Academy a tough cover for opposing defenses this year. Hines earned Second Team All-State honors after putting up 41 goals and 33 assists. The sophomore did damage from all over the field: behind the cage, off the ball, and in the two-man game. As a dodger, he is super deceptive, never staring down where he wants to go, and not afraid to mix in left-handed takes to keep defenses honest.

The best part of his game is his shiftiness. He can split and roll dodge on a dime to leave defenders behind in isolation. Once you add a pick into the equation, he becomes even tougher to handle. He was great at using picks and rejecting them with his change of direction, which made him an extremely hard player to scout and one that defenses were forced to slide to. When those slides came, Hines showed that he sees the field well and can feed with both hands. The sophomore has all the tools to thrive at the next level, and this summer will be a great test to see if he can continue that success against top-tier competition.
