On the season, Caneparo was picked as an ECFC honorable mention at the end of the season for his role as a return specialist as well as a running back. As a return specialist he finished the season with 223 return yards on nine kickoff returns, which included a season-best 40-yard return against USMMA. In his role in the Privateer backfield, Caneparo was 10th in the league with 445 net rushing yards, including the fourth longest rush amongst ECFC backs this year for 71 yards.

Also a return-man, Klass set the Maritime single-season record for kick return yards in a season with 461 in 2014. He also had four Punt returns for 60 Yards on the year. On the season he had a year-best 83 return yards against eventual ECFC Champion Husson. Meanwhile as a defensive back, Klass had 28 tackles on the season, and also led the ECFC with six interceptions. He broke up seven passes in 2014 and also had two blocked kicks, which was good enough for second in the ECFC and 20th in all of Division III. For his career, Klass ended up first on Maritime's All-Time interceptions list with 11. On the season, he was a two-time ECFC Defensive Player of the Week, and also accomplishes a rare feat in the ECFC as a three-time All-Conference honoree.
