YOUNGSTOWN RETAINS TOP SPOT IN CHL COACHES POLL

The Youngstown SteelHounds retained the top spot in the CHL Coaches Poll with their 13-2-1 record and 27 points.  The Hounds finished with 149 points, four more than the #2 team, the Rocky Mountain Rage.  The Rage are the hottest team in the league winning seven straight games moving from #3 to #2.  Laredo, the #1 team in the first CHL Coaches Poll, has dropped a spot in each of the first three polls and currently sits at #3.  The Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees moved back into the top 10, replacing the New Mexico Scorpions, after being absent in the last released poll.  No team moved up or down more than one spot in the top 10.
