The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for March 8, 1995:
Teams were given 15 points for a first-place vote, 14 for a second-place
vote, and so on down to 1 point for a fifteenth-place vote. Total first-
place votes are in parentheses.
The last weekend of the regular season saw Clarkson make a big move, as the
Golden Knights' two wins jumped them three spots to #7 in the rankings.
Maine's split with New Hampshire cost the Black Bears the top spot, as
Michigan edged them by 4.5 points.

Dropped out of Top 15: Miami (#15 last week)
The East-West split was pretty close this week, although clearly North-
eastern gets almost all of its support from the Eastern voters:

Again, close agreement among the HOCKEY-L and media polls, which list the
same top 11 teams, though in slightly shuffled orders:

An oddity this week, as three of the five rating systems (RPICH, KRACH, and
YAM2) have the same top 15 teams that the HOCKEY-L poll does. Obviously,
these ratings are statistically accurate :-)

To answer a question I received this week... as in past years, I am hoping
to keep the HOCKEY-L poll running through the conference and NC$$ playoffs.
