The WCHA Media Poll Ballots are due on Wednesday, and since there’s no new information to be gained by waiting–other than that, shockingly, every team has had great chemistry in captain’s practices and it could be their best year ever–I may as well post this now.
Here’s what the ballot I turned in looked like:
1. North Dakota
2. St. Cloud
3. Minnesota-Duluth
4. Denver
5. Wisconsin
6. Minnesota
7. Colorado College
8. Bemidji State
9. Nebraska-Omaha
10. Minnesota State
11. Michigan Tech
12. Alaska-Anchorage
Player of the Year: Justin Fontaine, Minnesota-Duluth
Rookie of the Year: Jaden Schwartz, Colorado College
Though not going on the official poll, I’ll also pick a pre-season first and second all-conference team, and an all-rookie team after the jump.
