With the 2019-20 season officially kicking off this week, New England Hockey Journal is pleased to announce the return of its Prep School Coaches Poll for the second consecutive year.

Head coaches from around the region were asked to select their top 10 teams from all leagues, with this week’s voting producing the following results.

Eight of the teams ranked in our first poll of the season also finished last year among New England’s 10 best, including three-time defending Elite Eight champion Kimball Union. Veteran coach Tim Whitehead’s Wildcats sit at the top of this week’s NEHJ ranks, the same place that they both began and ended last season.
