Inside College Hockey has its new Top 20 for college puck up. Eight solidly traditional programs are lodged in the Top 10, with Miami the up-and-comer of recent seasons at 7 and Cinderella in South Bend at 4.
- Minnesota (12-1-2) “In nine home matches, the Gophers have averaged an even five goals per game while allowing 1.78 goals per contest.”
- New Hampshire (9-2-1) “UNH hasn’t gotten even a sniff of the attention that BC and Maine have received this season, but the Wildcats have quietly put together a five-game win streak and an eight-game unbeaten streak (7-0-1).”
- Maine (8-3-1) “Before the bridges in Orono start filling up, remember the Black Bears got off to a hot start before cooling off in late November last year, too. It’s safe to say Maine rebounded nicely.”
- Notre Dame (10-3-1) “The Fighting Irish won their 10th game of the season at Nebraska-Omaha Friday. Last season, win no. 10 came Feb. 10.”
- Boston College (7-4-1) “The highs have been high and the lows have been low. BC fans are hoping The Hights will plateau.”
- Michigan (11-4-0) “Saturday’s drubbing by Minnesota not only snapped the Wolverines’ seven-game win streak, but also extended U-M’s losing streak against the Gophers to five.”
- Miami (11-5-0) “Making a State-ment? RedHawks’ next three league series are against Ferris State, Ohio State, and Michigan State . . . and they could face Bowling Green State and Ohio State in the Ohio Hockey Classic holiday tournament.”
- Denver (9-4-1) “Ryan Dingle has 7-3-10 during the Pioneers’ current unbeaten streak, which reached seven games with wins against Air Force and Robert Morris.”
- Boston University (5-2-4) “The Terriers have had eight months to think about that 5-0 whitewashing handed to them by BC in the Northeast Regional Final. If there is any weekend they’d like to jumpstart their season, this one is it.”
- North Dakota (7-6-1) “Goaltender Philippe Lamoureux made 15 saves in the Fighting Sioux’s 5-2 win against Colorado College Saturday, his first victory since Oct. 13.”
