News of the Day

Matt Rust, the 13th ranked uncommitted forward on the 2007 Recruiting Board, no longer qualifies for the uncommitted list as he committed to the University of Michigan. It's a nice pick-up for the Wolverines, who land one of the top players from Michigan for the class of 2007.

Also, Andreas Nodl has committted to St. Cloud State for next season.

The WCHA Preseason Coaches Poll was released today. Minnesota tops the list, gaining seven place votes. Wisconsin, Denver, and Colorado College each received a single first place vote.

The biggest surprise of the poll occurred at the bottom of the poll. Alaska-Anchorage was picked to finish last in the league, with St. Cloud picked 9th, and Michigan Tech picked to improve all the way to 8th.

Marty Sertich got 7 votes for Player of the Year, while Brett Sterling, Gabe Gauthier, and Dan Irmen all received a vote.

Phil Kessel was the unanimous choice for Freshmen of the Year.
