The Northeastern University men’s hockey team was picked to finish seventh in the annual Hockey East Writers and Broadcasters Association annual poll released just after midnight on Sunday. The seventh-place projection comes a year after the Huskies finished sixth in the conference last season, finishing with a 16-16-4 record (11-9-2 HE).
Boston College led the way atop the poll, receiving 20 of 35 possible first-place votes, trailed by last year’s Hockey East champion Boston University Terriers.
As most suspected, senior forward Kevin Roy was selected to the preseason All-Hockey East Team, joined by F Tyler Kelleher (New Hampshire), F Danny O’Regan (Boston University), F Alex Tuch (Boston College), D Matt Grzelcyk (Boston University), D Ian McCoshen (Boston College) and G Thatcher Demko (Boston College).
