CCHA Preseason Polls Released

Miami and Michigan at the top. Sound familiar? Thought so. Nanooks sit in third in this years Coaches Poll, and fourth in the Media poll. The teams are listed by rank below. As Coach Ferguson said this morning, "It's nice to be recognized in the polls, but right now, everyone is 0-0-0".  Which is completely true. All of these rankings that are coming out, just like the USA Today poll from Monday. At this point, its all subjective. Starting tomorrow, the guys have to get out there and start earning it.

Secondly, Andy Taranto was named to the CCHA All-Conference Second Team, and Joe Sova, along with Scott Greenham, earned honorable mentions.
