The coaches and media agree: Yale is the team to beat in ECAC Hockey this season.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs, who won the league’s regular season and playoff titles last season, picked up seven of 12 first-place votes from the coaches and 15 of 25 top spots in balloting by the ECAC Hockey Writers and Broadcasters Association.<\/p>\n

Yale returns its top 10 scorers from last season, in which it lost only four times after Jan. 1.<\/p>\n

Cornell and Princeton also received first-place votes in both polls and finished second and third, respectively, in both. Harvard got a first-place vote in the media poll and was a consensus pick for fourth.<\/p>\n

Forward Sean Backman, who scored a hat trick in Yale’s playoff championship victory over Cornell, is on the media’s preseason all-league team — a group made up of players from six different teams.<\/p>\n

Colgate forward David McIntyre, Cornell forward Riley Nash, Dartmouth defenseman Evan Stephens, Harvard defenseman Alex Biega and Princeton goaltender Zane Kalemba also made the all-league team.<\/p>\n

Here is the coaches’ poll:<\/p>\n

Team (first-place votes)  Points<\/b>
1. Yale (7)                  117
2. Cornell (3)               113
