Men's Hockey a No-Show in National Poll

Not surprising news.

Maine hockey was not ranked in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine top-15 poll again this week after a 5-5 tie with Vermont.

Maine (4-6-2, 2-4-2 Hockey East) has been left off this national poll for three consecutive weeks now, four total this season - a rare occurance for a perennial contender.

Maine has dropped to last place in Hockey East after going 0-4-1 in its last five games.

The team's last appearance in this poll was on Nov. 5 when it was ranked No. 11.

about Jenn and this blog

Jenn covers the University of Maine for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram.

A former Portland Pirates beat writer who has covered two winter Olympics for the paper, she will tackle the Maine beat for a fourth year this season.

She has the empty coffee cups, and turnpike mileage receipts littering her
excellent-gas-mileage
Honda Civic to prove it.

Though she is a graduate of rival New Hampshire, she almost never thinks of that 1999 hockey game anymore.
