Boston University moved up one spot to No. 2 in the latest USCHO.com/CBS Division I College Hockey Poll on the heels of its wins over Rensselaer and host No. 5 Denver in the Denver Cup.  Vermont also inched up one spot after winning their own holiday tournament, the Catamount Cup, with wins over Colgate and St. Lawrence. 

Notre Dame won the Shillelagh Tournament to maintain its top spot in the rankings.  Minnesota is number three after winning the Dodge Holiday Classic at home in Minneapolis.  The won the final of the tournament over Northeastern in overtime, but the loss did not hurt the Huskies much as they still jumped two spots to number four.

Boston College split an exhibition series with New Brunswick and dropped to number nine, down from seventh.  New Hampshire, conversely, was up two spots to number 13 after beating Maine in a conference game. 

League play gets ramped back up to full speed this week with BC at Vermont for a pair, and Northeastern & Merrimack and UNH & UMass playing a pair of home-and-home series.  Maine plays at BU and UMass-Lowell visits Providence as those teams will each play only one game this week.
