Union Picked to Finish 2nd in ECAC, RPI 10th

Union College finished last season as the best hockey team in the country after winning its first NCAA Division I Championship. However, the Dutchmen aren't even picked to win the ECAC in the preseason coaches poll.

RPI was picked to finish 10th, one year after finishing 7th. Colgate was picked to win the league due to a large amount of contributing returners. Read more from Pete Dougherty of the Times Union here.
