Milton, MA - The Curry Men's Hockey team will enter the season with National Championship aspirations, as they were ranked #3 and #4 in the DIIIHockeyNews and USCHO pre-season polls.

The Colonels are coming off of a Frozen Four appearance last year, and will look to make a return trip.

In the DIIIHockeyNews ranking, the Colonels only trailed Hobart, the 3-time reigning national champion, and Utica, the team that defeated the Colonels in the Frozen Four last year, in OT. In the USCHO rankings, SUNY Geneseo, the other Frozen Four team from a year ago, were ranked just ahead of the Colonels as well.
