The 2019-20 preseason polls for each of the six men's NCAA Division I ice hockey conferences have all been released. The following are the six schools chosen to finish first overall in their respective leagues at the conclusion of the regular season:
Atlantic Hockey: American International
Big Ten: Penn State
ECAC Hockey: Cornell
Hockey East: Boston College
NCHC: Minnesota-Duluth
WCHA: Minnesota State
American International, Minnesota-Duluth and Minnesota State all won their respective conference regular-season titles last season, with Cornell finishing as ECAC Hockey's runner-up. All four also advanced to the 2019 NCAA Tournament, with Minnesota-Duluth ultimately winning its second straight national championship. The UMD Bulldogs were also voted first overall in today's USA Hockey/NCAA Division I Preseason Poll.
The 2019-20 NCAA campaign gets underway this Saturday with Maine visiting Providence in Hockey East action, along with eight non-conference NCAA tilts, and 11 exhibition contests pitting NCAA schools against Canadian universities. Northern Michigan also faces off with the U.S. Under-18 Team.
