Following a phenomenal athletic display that resulted in a tie with the #15 Ohio State University Buckeyes, the Lindenwood Lions men's ice hockey program is ranked 15 on the (United States College Hockey Online) USCHO Men's PairWise Rankings.

Lindenwood (1-2-1) opened the 2023 season at Air Force with a series split. Last weekend saw the Lions flexing their strength against the then #15 Buckeyes, who have since moved up to #13.

The PairWise Ranking is a system which attempts to mimic the method used by the NCAA Selection Committee to determine participants for the NCAA Division I men's hockey tournament. The PWR compares all teams by these criteria: record against common opponents, head-to-head competition, and the RPI.

The poll (ranking) is released each Monday, according to the USCHO website.
