Very interesting to see the spread of first place votes. I don't recall ever seeing so many teams (8!) with first place votes. Brown has taken over as the second highest vote-getting ECAC team.

Others receiving votes:  Brown 5, Notre Dame 4, Ohio State 1, Rensselaer Polytechnic Instiutute 1. 

I'm convinced that "Rensselaer Polytechnic Instiutute" would get more votes if they returned to being called "RPI". :-)

I'm convince Rensselaer Polytechnic Instiutute would get more votes if they played better hockey.
