KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Western Michigan hockey team had a successful weekend on the ice, taking four of a possible six points from Denver. The four-point series helped the Broncos elevate to No. 12 in both of the latest national polls.
After ranking 13th in both the USCHO poll and the USA Hockey/The Rink Live polls a week ago, WMU moved up one spot in both polls this week to check in at No. 12 as it heads into its holiday break. Western Michigan is joined in both polls by North Dakota, DU, St. Cloud State and Colorado College as NCHC teams ranked in the top-20.
