COLORADO STAYS ON TOP OF YELLOWBOOK CHL COACHES POLL

The Colorado Eagles received 10 of the 16 first place votes remaining on top of the Yellowbook CHL Coaches Poll for a second consecutive poll with their 10-1-0 record.  The unbeaten in regulation Oklahoma City Blazers have made significant ground receiving the remaining six first place votes and closing the gap to just four points between themselves and the Eagles. 

The top 10 teams remain the same from the season opening poll released on October 31st.  The biggest gainer was the Laredo Bucks who moved up two spots from #8 to #6.  Both Mississippi and Odessa climbed one spot and Rapid City, Rio Grande Valley and Texas all dropped in the poll.

The CHL Top 10 Coaches Poll will be released on or near the beginning and middle of each month through the regular season.  Each first place vote receives 10 points, second place earns nine points, etc.
