Minnesota State has been selected by the CCHA head coaches to win the MacNaughton Cup, which is awarded to the regular-season champion, in the 2022-23 preseason coaches poll.<\/p>\n

The defending champions and Frozen Four finalists also won the 2022 Mason Cup as the league\u2019s tournament winners.<\/p>\n

The Mavericks collected six first-place votes and totaled 69 of a possible 70 points overall. Northern Michigan earned 61 points, including two first-place votes.<\/p>\n

Points were awarded on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4 basis. League coaches could not vote for their own school.<\/p>\n

2022-23 CCHA Preseason Coaches Poll<\/strong>
\nMinnesota State \u2013 69 (6)
\nNorthern Michigan \u2013 61 (2)
\nBowling Green \u2013 58
\nBemidji State \u2013 51
\nMichigan Tech \u2013 47
\nLake Superior State \u2013 45
\nFerris State \u2013 32
\nSt. Thomas \u2013 30<\/p>\n

In addition, Minnesota State senior forward Brendan Furry was named CCHA preseason player of the year, as voted on by the conference\u2019s eight head coaches.<\/p>\n

Furry helped the Mavericks to their second Frozen Four appearance in as many years and first ever trip to the finals in 2021-22. He finished fourth in the CCHA in scoring with 13 goals and 31 assists for 44 points in 44 games last season. His 31 helpers were good for third-most in the country, his 14 multi-point games were tops among conferences skaters, and his plus-30 rating was good for fifth. He earned NCAA East Regional all-tournament honors after collecting a goal and an assist for two points, helping Minnesota State advance.<\/p>\n

Through 72 career games, Furry has posted 18 goals and 39 assists for 57 points.<\/p>\n

Wrapping up the day, the preseason all-CCHA team was announced, along with preseason rookie of the year.<\/p>\n
