They don't really "use" them for anything, they merely post them, and what they are "hidding" really doesn't exist in the form of objective criterion (OWP, OOWP, H2H, etc), it is the subjective criterion (aka "Pool C's regional selection criteria" - i.e. what effects the NCAA coffers) that they "hide".

You have to remember, these actually are not rankings, it is a "Poll" which is the opinion of 20 people.

Which is a perfect example of how deep Norwich is. All three of those guys would be in the top six on nearly every other team.
Saw this post in the previous thread that was closed and wanted to address it.
Currier was recruited as a defenseman from the Green Mountain Glades but made the transition to forward for much of this season and played very well IMHO.
He is now back playing his normal position.
As for why the three you mentioned aren't playing...can't answer that one. You'd have to ask Coach McShane on that.

Re: Norwich hockey 2012-2013: Our thread closed before Owsego's
Norwich's depth has certainly been a large factor in its success this year. I have said this since the beginning of the year. The Cadets are four lines strong and can roll them all game. They already have seven players with 10 or more goals this year and Duszynski is only one away from making it eight. That's impressive spread out scoring.
Obviously NU has its studs with Cotnoir, Thomas and Janke. But, IMHO the key to the success of this team this year has been the play of Gorman, Mulvey, Allan, Lindensmith, etc. Norwich has battled through a horde of injuries so far this year and is still battling them. Many key players in the lineup have missed mutiple games, especially on defense.
The depth on defense is even more impressive as you said. Fulton, Gour and Gatien are all capable hockey players and will be counted on big time next year with the departure of Baker, Carpino and Kozhokin.

Thanks Prez. I finally decided that no one with the answer had seen my post so I called someone who I thought would know last Friday and got the same answer you gave me. Makes sense to me, and based on what I saw of Gatien, Gour and Fulton last year and some of this one, we definitely do have some solid depth at defense.

Prez, it's always been that way. Some of the fourth liners we have had through the years would have been impact players on most other DIII teams. The blue collar work ethic of some of the guys who don't get into every game, but are always ready to play when needed is impressive.
You can never have too many capable D-men. The fact that when one of top guys is out guys like the aforementioned threesome can step in and do the job is one of the real keys to success. This team was built from the back. One reason why the offense can be so free wheeling is that there is a lot of confidence in the D and the goalies. It's a whole lot easier to forecheck two or three guys below the goal line when you've got guys like Pasha and Baker back manning the points.

Season ticket holders have until Thursday to purchase their playoff tickets. We will release unsold tickets at that time. Some ticket holders are notifying us that they do not want their tickets, we release them for purchase immediately. The NCAA rule is that we must reserve 212 of our seats for the visiting team. Once we know how many they want, if it is lower than the 212 we will release the balance. The long and short of it is you should keep checking.

All Owsego's fans do is whine about soft ice, winning 4-2 instead of 6-1, having to pay for tickets, all they do is is say Ow - glad you noticed (Please note, this rant was made in the spirit of fun, not malicious ranting as some Plattsburg fans do WRT Owsego )

I finally figured out why they call themselves Wick, they don't like the letter "H" !

I've been here since 1980, and I still don't know why that is...It falls into one of those things we seem to say at Norwich a lot "we've always done it that way."
(BTW - I do know how to spell Plattsburg, but as long as I was picking on Owsego, ...)

Actually Plattsburg(h) used to be that way. It is carved in stone on City Hall!

Prof, I'm not like typical Oz fans. I've followed them since 99-00. I know about their days when they couldn't get win titles and struggled getting into the finals. I know there are some fans that get unhappy when they don't win by 5 or 6 goals.
(And yes I understand that the rant is all in fun. So was my retort.)

I started at Norwich in 1952 and have never heard of Wick until recently. My grandson is a freshman and has no idea where it came from. In fact, I don't know any Norwich grad who does. By the way, I asked him who was NU's big rival and he immediately said it was Caselton.
I think Derrick is right, the big rival is a generational conception. To me it will always be Middlebury. I didn't even know Rutland had a college in the nifty fifties.
