The fifth edition of the Ohio High School Ice Hockey State Coaches Poll doesn't feature any changes at the top.

The Saint Ignatius hockey squad maintains its grip on the first place spot in the poll.

The Ice Cats traveled to Chicago over the weekend, defeating Saint Ignatius College Prep (Chicago, IL) and Gonzaga College High School (Washington, DC) before dropping a one-goal contest to Marquette University High School (WI). Following the 2-1 Jesuit Cup performance, the Wildcats stand at 16-5 on the year. 

The top four remains consistent from last week, but changes did occur in the bottom six. Most notably, Upper Arlington leaped two spots to No. 5.

The Wildcats will face No. 4 University School on Saturday in Cleveland Heights at 7:30 p.m. The Ice Cats emerged with a win in the last matchup, 3-2.
