Lakers Receive 11 votes in USCHO.com/CSTV Poll

Lake Superior State’s hockey team received 11 votes in USCHO.com/CSTV’s 2006-07 Preseason Poll. The 11 points project LSSU 29th in the nation at this time, and 8th in the CCHA behind MSU, Michigan, Miami of Ohio, OSU, NMU, Nebraska-Omaha, and ND. This ranking is pretty consistent with what is expected to come out in the CCHA media and coaches polls Wednesday, September 27. A general consensus around the league is that Michigan, Michigan State, and Miami of Ohio, are the best suited to finish in the top 3 of the league, with Alaska Fairbanks, Western Michigan, and Bowling Green, likely to dwell in the CCHA basement this season. Speculation is that LSSU will fall somewhere between 7-9 in the two polls expected out Wednesday.
