The New England Hockey Journal Division 1 Top 10 returns for the start of the new calendar year after the first slate of college action since Christmas took place over the last four days.
The weekend saw Northeastern and host Vermont sweep the Catamount Cup, Providence capture two wins at the Ledyard Bank Classic, and American International return to Atlantic Hockey play with a series spit to remain with a single point of first place in the league standings. In addition, the Friars’ Nate Leaman and Quinnipiac’s Rand Pecknold both picked up milestone coaching victories with their 300th and 500th, respectively.
Nothing has changed as far as the 10 teams ranked, though a growing slate of league games in Hockey East, ECAC Hockey, and Atlantic Hockey over the next two weekends could certainly change that soon.
