The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for December 2, 1992: 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 HOCKEY-L poll finally gave up on the Boston University Terriers, at least for now. BU's loss to Princeton knocked the Terriers out of the Top 15, and although they missed it by only one point, this is the first time since the inception of the HOCKEY-L poll last year that BU has been one of the "Other teams receiving votes". There are now only five teams that have been ranked in every HOCKEY-L poll: Maine, Lake Superior, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Composite poll (17 responses): Last Record Pts. Week 1.
