The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for March 9, 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. A season-ending slump has finally cost the Michigan Wolverines the #1 spot in the HOCKEY-L poll, which they had held since November 10th. Boston University, which trailed by one point last week, moves into the top spot as the regular season comes to a close. November 10th was also the last time Clarkson had appeared in the HOCKEY-L top 15, but they reappear this week at #11. One note: the records listed below count all Maine forfeits as wins for the teams involved. This is apparently how it was handled for the Hockey East teams -- I'm not sure of the situation in the non-league games Maine had to forfeit. Composite poll (24 responses): Last Record Pts.

Northeastern 7 This concludes the regular season; however, I'd like to keep the HOCKEY-L poll going all the way through the post-season, until an NC$$ champion is crowned.
