College Hockey Preview Miami wins CCHA while Minnesota and Denver battle for tops in the WCHA

First off lets congratulate the Miami (Ohio) Redhawks for claiming the CCHA crown and their first since the 1992-93 season after defeating Ohio State Tuesday night 6-3 in Oxford.

So one down five more to go. And a big game for the top spot in the WCHA will happen this weekend as first place Denver travels to second place Minnesota. Denver is ahead by the slightest of margin 1 point over the Gophers. Junior Defensmen Matt Carle will look to improve his case for the Hobey Baker, while Freshman Phenom Phil Kessell will try to improve his case for WCHA rookie of the year. Earlier this year in Denver, Minnesota gained 3 points. This series should be interesting and is the top series this weekend.
