Today, the Hockey East
Coaches Poll was released and BU was slotted to finish third in the conference.
Defending National Champion, Boston College was not surprisingly picked first,
receiving 9 of 10 first place votes. UNH picked up the other first place vote.
Lowell was notched at two and
following BU, it was UNH, Maine, Northeastern/Providence, Merrimack, UMass, and
Vermont.
The Coaches Poll closely
mirrors the Media Poll that was released yesterday. The Hockey East writers saw
the league shaping up as follows: BC (21), Lowell (3), BU, UNH, Providence,
Maine (1), Merrimack, Northeastern, UMass, Vermont.
In the Media poll, Garret Noonan
and Matt Nieto were named to the preseason All-Hockey East Team.

and third place Michigan received the other two. North Dakota and Union rounded
out the top five.
