There a new hockey podcast on YouTube. I’m not sharing the link as I don’t have it anymore lol, but it’s very much bias towards hockey east. They only named two NCHC teams and didn’t mention the UND/Gophers series at all in their games to watch segment.
I think putting WMU at number one was more of a ceremonial placement to honor them for what they did last year. I do expect WMU to be 1 or 2 in conference this season. Pre season polls are all based on subjective talent and doesn’t tie in the element of how well the team works together. We will see how they do. Hopefully good
