The ECAC coaches and media differ in their assessment of how the league will stack up during the 2013-14 season.<\/p>\n
Rensselaer was picked to win the regular-season title in the 15th annual ECAC Hockey Media Association’s 2013-14 preseason poll, receiving 18 of 33 first-place votes and 367 overall points in the poll conducted by Schenectady Daily Gazette<\/i> college hockey writer Ken Schott.<\/p>\n
It’s the first time the Engineers have been picked first in the media poll. Their previous highest finish was second in the very first media poll back in 1999-2000.<\/p>\n
On the coaches’ side of the poll, for the first time in league history, six schools received at least one first-place vote as defending national champion Yale, Rensselaer, Quinnipiac, Union, Cornell and Dartmouth each earned a top vote. <\/p>\n
Yale took the No. 1 spot with four first-place votes and 103 total points. <\/p>\n
Both the media and coaches also selected an all-conference preseason team as well.<\/p>\n
