Western Collegiate Hockey Association coaches and media covering the league overwhelmingly picked the University of Denver to win the MacNaughton Cup as the regular-season WCHA champion.

The Pioneers received eight of 10 first-place votes in the coaches' poll and 23 of 25 from the media.

Colorado College was picked to finish seventh in the WCHA by the media and eighth by the coaches.

DU, ranked No. 2 behind Miami (Ohio) in Monday's USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine preseason poll, had three players make the media's all-WCHA preseason team: senior forward Rhett Rakhshani, sophomore defenseman Patrick Wiercioch and junior goal- tender Marc Cheverie.
