The Cornell Big Red has been selected by both the coaches and media as the unanimous No. 1 team in this year's ECAC Hockey League men’s preseason polls. It marks the first time since the 1996-97 season that the head coaches have had a unanimous choice and the first-time ever in the seven-year history of the media poll.
The next four positions in the coaches voting were tight, with just eight points separating second through fifth. In fact, Dartmouth sits just one point ahead of Harvard to earn second place with 94 points. The Crimson, which was second overall last year, garnered 93 points and was followed by St. Lawrence with 89 and Colgate with 86. Brown wrapped up the top half with 80 points.
