INCH Power Rankings
New Hampshire
assumes the top spot in this week's INCH Power Rankings, on the
strength of the Colin Hemingway-Lanny Gare-Josh Prudden line and
a 44-save Saturday-night effort from Michael Ayers – which
should help eliminate any bad associations he has with the state
of Minnesota. Overall, Hockey East remains strong, with five of
the top ten teams and two more knocking on the rankings' door.
Take a look
at how the Inside College Hockey editors and staff think the contenders
stack up – and let
us know what you think. Send us your own Power Rankings, with
