The rankings will target the top twelve teams each week and ranking them in the following categories:
1. Winning percentage: this is weighed twice as much as the rest of the categories are. It's all about winning in the CCHL those teams that get their players to "over-perform" due to effective line setting are rewarded.
2. Goals For rank
3. Goals Against rank
4. Power Play %
5. Penalty Killing %
The formula I'm using, as I did in the past, is...
The ranking of WIN% X 2 + the ranking of GF+GA+PP%+PK% = Total raw score.
I then rank the teams from 1-12, based on their raw score. The lower the score a team has the better.
In some weeks, due to ties in winning percentages, there may be more than twelve teams listed in the power rankings.
(I'll do this every weekend, time permitting...)
POWER RANKING FOR 1/4/20:
1. Fort Erie - 15
2. Siberia - 27
3. Springfield - 37
4. Hamilton - 39
5. Sudbury - 40
6. Reykjavik - 41
7. Dayton - 42
8. Gillam - 60
9. Calgary - 70
10. Capeside - 76
11. Georgetown- 77
12. Seattle - 79
OBSERVATIONS:
*DON PAULO PATEA CULO: The Canosa Conference dominates the first six positions with five teams represented. Dayton, 7th best overall, is just a few points out of 4th and only five points out of third overall. But, for this week, Canosa Conference is rocking...
*HEY, WHAT ABOUT US??? Three other teams caught my eye but didn't qualify for this week's rankings based on their lower winning %. Long Island and Victoria are both tied with Georgetown for the last playoff spot in the Canosa Conference. Graded out, the Express earn 70 pts., which would put them in a tie for 9th with Calgary. The Ronin earned 83 pts, which would've left them on the outside looking in. In the Corfield Conference, Dartmouth sits a single point behind Seattle in the standings and when graded, earn 76 pts., which would've tied them for 10th with the Loons. Keep an eye on all three of these teams and don't be surprised if one or more breaks into next week's power rankings.
*FORT ERIE IS GOOD. SERIOUSLY. The Falcons are the creme de la cream of the CCHL. Strong across all five categories, they are no worse than top five in each. Let's be honest, Fort Erie is so good, we should just pack it in and get ready for baseball. (Fun Fact: Mr. Young is good at that, too!) The Falcons should have no trouble winning their first CCHL Champions Cup in a couple months. Amiright? :)
*GOOD THINGS HAPPEN IN THREE'S: There's an interesting battle in the Canosa between Siberia, Hamilton, and Springfield, three of the top four teams in the CCHL based on the power rankings. Looking at the rest of the schedule, I wanted to see how difficult each of their schedules look. Looking at the top six teams in winning percentage (FOR, SIB, DAY, HAM, REK & SPR,) this is how it looks for the trio of terrific teams in the Canosa.
# of games vs. (FOR, SIB, DAY, HAM, REK & SPR,)
Springfield Isotopes have 7 games...
Hamilton Tigers have 7 games...
Siberia Icecats have 9 games...
Don't be surprised if those two additional games the Icecates have to play against the league's best wind up making a difference at the end of the regular season standings, playoff seedings, first-round byes, etc... FUN SHIT!!!
See you next week!
