Men's Hockey Ranked in Top 10 in Both National Preseason Polls

PRINCETON (10/6/09) -- With the 2009-10 Princeton men's hockey season less than a month away, the Tigers have been ranked in the Top 10 of both national polls. Princeton was the ninth ranked team in last week's USA Hockey/USA Today Poll, while the Tigers were ranked ninth in this week's USCHO/CBS College Sports Poll.

Princeton finished the 2008-09 campaign ranked 10th in the USCHO.com poll and 15th in the USA Hockey Poll. The Tigers held the ranking in one, while jumping up six spots in the other.

Princeton finished the 2008-09 season with a 22-12-1 record and received the program's first ever NCAA at-large berth. The Tigers played in the ECAC Championships and the NCAA tournament for the second consecutive season and have won 43 games over the past two seasons, the highest two-year win total in program history.

Princeton has its first official practice on Oct. 17 and has exhibition games against Morrisville State and Windsor on Oct. 23 and 25. The Tigers open the season a week later at home against Brown and Yale.
