KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Western Michigan hockey team was able to continue its rise in the national polls after an exhibition win over Western Ontario this past weekend.
The Broncos haven't played a regular season game since grabbing a series win over Denver back in early December. However, the Brown and Gold were able to jump to No. 11 in the latest edition of the USCHO poll, which was released yesterday afternoon.
Western Michigan leaped over UMASS to grab the No. 11 spot. The Broncos are joined by North Dakota, Denver, St. Cloud State and Colorado College as NCHC teams featured in the top-20.
