NORTHFIELD, Minn. – The St. Olaf College men's hockey team was ranked No. 15 in the D-III Hockey News Men's Poll and received votes in the USCHO Division III Men's Poll released on Monday.

In the first national polls in nearly one month, St. Olaf (6-2-3) remained at No. 15 in the D-III Hockey News poll and dropped into the "others receiving votes" portion of the USCHO balloting. The Oles returned from a break of over one month with a 1-1 non-conference tie at Bethel University on Saturday in their lone game since the previous round of national polls.

The Oles have been ranked in each of the last five D-III Hockey News polls of the season and were the lone Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) program in the top 15 of that poll. St. Olaf sat just outside the top 15 in the USCHO rankings after landing 18 points in the voting.

Head coach Tyler Lindstrom's team will get back to MIAC play against Hamline University this weekend, starting with a 7 p.m. puck drop at TRIA Rink on Friday, Jan. 9. The series finale is set for 5 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 10 at St. Olaf Ice Arena.
