Boston College Comes In At #11 In First USCHO Poll
Boston College hockey certainly didn't have the type of year that has been the norm for them last year as they struggled to even make the Hockey East tournament. But a lot of returning talent and a stacked freshman class have the Eagles rising up the polls. Today USCHO released their first preseason poll and the Eagles are ranked, coming in at 11.
Jerry York's squad is the third highest ranked Hockey East club behind University of Massachusetts-Amherst at #4, and Providence College which ranked in at 7. Led by Hockey East returning scoring leader David Cotton, the Eagles will return to action on October 11 facing off with Big Ten challengers the Wisconsin Badgers. Certainly this will be a team that will be fun to watch this season.
