Here it is in your voting, Hockey-L's picks for the spots on the All-ECAC
Teams and the individual awards.
This year I got 11 voters! Including Tim Leonard of the Troy Record
Hockey Poll. Wow, 11 voters! More than last year!
It was a close battle for the last spot on the second team, and with an
overabundance of good, but not great defensemen, the defense was tough.
Also there were NO unanimous picks (of course if you throw out the one
voter that only went for the individual awards and not All-ECAC Teams,
then you have two unanimous picks)
Here we go, the placement plus the number of points gathered.
