Announcing...
The Second Annual College Hockey Discussion List preseason poll!
Since the TSN staff have weighed in with their opinions on who the top teams
in college hockey will be this year, I'd like to run a preseason edition of
the HOCKEY-L poll. For those of you who are new to the list, the HOCKEY-L
poll is a poll of the top 15 Division I men's ice hockey teams and is open
to all HOCKEY-L or HOCKEY-D subscribers. This is a private poll, and ALL
RESPONSES WILL BE KEPT STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. The only information that
will be released will be a composite of all the responses that were
received. As always, responses that appear to be frivolous will not be
counted; however, if your vote happens to contain fewer than 15 teams, go
ahead and send it along.
From Mike's composite, it appears that the first games of the new season
will be played on October 15th, so I'd like to set the deadline for sub-
mitting poll responses for Monday, October 11th at midnight. The composite
will be posted the following morning. Responses received after the deadline
will not be counted in the preseason poll. I expect to start the regular-
season version of the HOCKEY-L poll a week or two after the preseason one
comes out (more on that later...)
Please note: The HOCKEY-L poll will have a slightly different Email address
this year. Please Email your rankings to:

Feel free to attach comments to your rankings as well. Again, the indi-
vidual responses WILL NOT be made public.
Complete background and voting instructions for the HOCKEY-L poll are now
available in the archives (thanks, Wayne!). If you want a copy, send a mail
message to:

LET'S GO RED!!
In honor of Charles M. Schulz's induction into the US Hockey Hall of Fame:
"Well, we lost the first game of the season again.
I shouldn't let it bother me, but it does.
We always seem to lose the first game of the season and the last game of the
season...
AND ALL THE STUPID GAMES IN-BETWEEN!"
-- Charlie Brown, in "Peanuts"
