Thanks for the link. I just might have to print a few of these out...

I think these covers are regional. I went up to the Troy Sports Center hoping to pick a few up and they only had the Michigan State Cover. They have a cover for every college plus the Plymouth Whalers, Saginaw Spirit and possibly the Grand Rapids Griffins

College Hockey News' Preseason Top 10:

Quote:9. Western Michigan (21-14-6, 14-10-4-4 CCHA)
The Broncos return their top three scorers from last season in senior Dane Walters (16-13—29) and juniors Chase Balisy (13-24—37) and Shane Berschbach (10-22—32). The trio will be counted upon to continue their scoring while sophomores Will Kessel, Robert Francis and David Killip rediscover the magic they made before injuries derailed their freshman season. A class of sizeable first-year forward, led by winger Colton Hargrove, will provide a physical presence and create offense down low. The only major change to the defensive corps is the loss of Matt Tennyson; while WMU will miss his offensive contributions, junior Danny DeKeyser has shown flashes of offensive leadership in addition to his pro-level defensive game. Sophomore goalie Frank Slubowski (17-11-4, 2.03 GAA, .911 SV%) burst on the scene last season and solidified the crease, backstoppping the Broncos to their first CCHA postseason championship.

Really impressed with the CCHA. Every other conference released their media polls a week ago.

Why in the world is UM and Miami above us?

Tradition. Past results and returning players mean nothing. As do preseason polls.

As much as I don't think Michigan deserves that spot, I'll never count out a berenson team.

Michigan's biggest hole is in net. Merrill stayed another year, and their top recruits didn't go to the OHL this time. They get average goaltending, they'll compete for the CCHA title. I'd put us ahead of Miami, though. That's probably a "rep" vote.
