Inside College Hockey is proud to announce its 2003-04 Preseason All-America teams. While the coaches choose their All-America teams on an East and West basis, we prefer to see college hockey as a national game – thus our first-, second- and third-team All-Americans, plus our All-Rookie Team, are not divided on regional lines.

The selections were made by Inside College Hockey editors and staff, with input from media and coaches from around the country.

We select our Preseason All-Rookie Team with a slightly different approach than our Recruiting Rankings, which are based on talent alone. Here we measure potential impact as well, which is why you'll find Michigan State's likely starting goaltender, Dominic Vicari, getting the nod over No. 1 goaltending recruit Glenn Fisher of Denver, who will have to share time with Adam Berkhoel.
