  "summary": "Oliver Peer has been named the 2026-27 CCHA preseason Player of the Year, according to both Coaches and Media Polls. The Bemidji State men's hockey team center, who transferred from the University of New Brunswick, had 20 goals and 16 assists in his first season with the Beavers last year. The Beavers are also being picked as the fifth-best team in the league by both polls. Michigan Tech is the top-ranked team in both polls, with Peer, Michigan Tech forwards Max Koskipirrti and Isaac Gordon, and Bowling Green's Ben Doran joining the coaches' Preseason Player of the Year list. Additionally, three freshmen were selected as Preseason Rookie of the Year, with Bowling Green's Mazden Leslie receiving the media vote.",
