Not much to argue with there although I put NMU and BG higher and Miami and Ferris lower. Within each third of the standings it's pretty much a toss up anyway.
I agree with Cepis being on the 2nd team, I don't know how the league overlooked him. If Connor Knapp isn't the best freshman goalie in the league Miami could be in for a long year. They lost ALOT of talent over the summer.
chris summers will find his way onto all-league
NMU at 6th with no mention of Mark Olver. Obviously you missed something here. You may know the WCHA but it appears you know only what you read of the CCHA, much like the media.
CCHA Coaches: NMU 4th
CCHA Media: NMU 5th
Inside College Hockey: NMU 3rd
Ferris finished tough, but I'm not yet a buyer. They will be in the middle third, with BG, Miami, and UNO.
Cepis got snubbed, he'll have 40 points. Summers is brutal, and everyone in the league knows it. Michigan was so strong that Summers didn't stick out as badly as he should have.
Northern is the team to watch, they have alot of potential. Miami is the bust, they lost a ton.
Greg Pateryn on the all rookie team over Brandon Burlon? I'm not sure Pateryn is going to get the ice time to do it. In fact, barring injury, I think he'll rarely play.
Mitera/Langlais
Kampfer/Vaughn
Llewellyn/Burlon
greg pateryn got cut from the world junior camp this summer...he'll have a hard time making the all-rookie team
wow connor knapp on all-rookie team??? the only reason he didnt get lit up in the ej is because his team was stacked. no way will he perform in D1.
Personally I think Northern should be a bit higher, and I would flip flop Michigan and Notre Dame, but that's probably just nitpicking. It will be interesting to see whether or not Sauer has turned the corner, though.
