St. Lawrence has its only preseason exhibition game on Sunday. That means we're only 10 days away from the start of the regular season. With all the off-season brouhaha in college hockey and the ECAC, picking the favorites this year could be challenging.

Here's how the ECAC standings broke down last year:

Union (26-10-4, 17-3-2)

Yale (28-7-1, 17-4-1)

Dartmouth (19-12-3, 12-8-2)
