The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for January 4, 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.
Maine's loss to Princeton did not keep the Black Bears out of the top spot,
though it helped propel the Tigers into the top 15 for the first time in
HOCKEY-L poll history. Colorado College is again the runner-up, though the
gap between them and Maine is down to 2.5 points.
