Last year, Colgate was just an average ECAC team. Don't look for much of a change this year. The Red Raiders lost Mark Dupere and Craig Woodcroft, two of the team's top all-time scores, to graduation.

If that weren't enough, Colgate also will skate without senior forward Jamie Cooke (29 goals) who waived his eligiblity to skate with the Philadephia Flyers.

Sounds like the Red Raiders are on their way to another mediocre season.

11. Union

The ECAC announced in January that the Skating Dutchmen filled Army's spot in the division. And that's exactly what they're doing.

Union has adopted Army's hit em' hard, beat em' up approach. Unfortunately for Union, the team will also adopt Army's position in the conference--the basement.

12. Dartmouth

While new coach Roger Demment has made a concerted effort to bring in young blood--including freshmen blue-liners Trevor Dodman and Yanik Roussin--Dartmouth still boasts the same porous defense and shoddy attack that earned it the bottom spot last year. Sophomore forward Scott Fraser will lead the uptempo attack, and standout sophomore Mike Bracko will man the pipes. But who are they kidding?
