Dartmouth Picked 6th by ECAC Hockey Coaches in Preseason Poll

HANOVER, N.H. – The Dartmouth men's hockey team was picked sixth in the 2019-20 ECAC Hockey preseason poll as voted on by the league's head coaches.

The Big Green were picked sixth despite finishing fifth in the league standings in each of the last two seasons and returning their top-three point producers and the league's leader in shutouts.

Junior Quin Foreman (13-15-28), senior Will Graber (10-15-25) and sophomore Drew O'Connor (17-19-26) comprised Dartmouth's top line a season ago and all return for the 2018-19 campaign. A season removed from a program single-season record of six shutouts, netminder Adrian Clark also is back between the pipes for the Green and White.

The ECAC Hockey media poll is set to be released Tuesday.
