Voters were unanimous on each of the top four spots in the Ohio High School Hockey Coach’s poll this week, as all eight ballots placed Saint Ignatius, Upper Arlington, Gilmour Academy and St. Edward in the 1-4 positions.

Mentor held firm at #5 followed by Toledo St. John’s, which moved up from #7 to #6.

There was a tie for seventh place between Olentangy Liberty and St. Charles, with Sylvania Northview and Shaker Heights rounding out the Top 10.

In a year that will see the Brooklyn and Kent District champions meet in a semifinal at the state tournament, four of the top five teams in this week's poll will be playing out of those two districts.

League tournaments are taking place across the state this week, along with the four district draws.  There will be one final Top 10 poll next week.
