LetsGoDU SUPER-POLL™ Votes DU #1 for the 22nd Consecutive Season
LetsGoDU released its 2026-2027 22nd annual SUPER-POLL™. The poll projects college hockey’s Top 10 teams. The top four teams will advance to the Frozen Four in Washington, DC on April 8th-10th, 2027. While the SUPER-POLL™ employs in-depth statistical analysis, the newly configured Goddard Research & Polling Division developed a unique electoral college model this season, comprised of college hockey delegates who cast their votes via Dominion Voting Systems. As custom would allow, Denver made the top slot and Colorado College dropped to the cellar. Denver was a landslide first-place selection, emerging with all 538 electoral votes.
Here is the projected finish according to the final audited and certified results with a nice political slant, to fit with DC’s Frozen Four theme…which we’re sure won’t anger anyone: Continue reading LetsGoDU SUPER-POLL™ Votes DU #1 for the 22nd Consecutive Season

For 11-time (and defending) national champion Denver Hockey, the phrase “the rich get richer” has never rung more true than it has already this offseason. Fresh off their somewhat improbable run to David Carle’s third NCAA title in the last five years, the Pioneers are gradually announcing (read: publicly acknowledging what has effectively been known for weeks) and welcoming what may be the best incoming freshman class in program history…at least on paper.
