Although I don't remember reading or hearing anything about it, there
was a College Hockey Centennial All-Time Favorites Poll sponsored by
ONE XCEL and the American Hockey Coaches Association. To commemorate
100 years of college hockey, fans, coaches, writers and experts were
asked to vote in numerious catergories. The Boston Sunday Globe
listed the results of the voting in today's paper.
All catergories were broken into East and West. The only possible
exception is Greatest Teams, but I think the paper may have
overlooked the list for the West.
The catergories and results are:
GREATEST TEAMS

Cornell, 1969-70
