The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for January 12, 1994: 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. Harvard is the week's big mover, jumping from eighth to third. The Crimson won both of their games last weekend, something none of the teams above them (except for #1 Michigan) managed to do. Harvard might have been able to dislodge Lake Superior from the #2 spot if the Lakers' two losses had been to anyone but Michigan. In the other direction, Wisconsin dropped a pair against Minnesota and slid four spots after surging to #3 last week. Composite poll (20 responses): Last Record Pts. Week Range 1.

The oddity of the week finds Mass Lowell getting nearly twice as many Western votes as Eastern votes, for some reason. Eastern responses: Western responses: 1. Michigan (10) 150 1.
