CCHL POWER RANKINGS (Week ending 2/9/20)

Another week of games has come and gone and we see a few changes in the newest Power Rankings. Springfield and Hamilton have traded places with the Isotopes jumping up into the 3rd slot on the rankings. Other changes this week see the Calgary Chinook drop from 12th overall down to 14th, mostly due to a 2-4-0 record in their last six games. After riding a hot streak into the top ten last week, the Parry Sound Orrsmen drop out of the top 14 slots as they have posted a 3-5 record in their last 8 games. Fort Erie, even after a couple of losses, still sits in first place, just ahead of the Icecats.

POWER RANKINGS FOR 2/9/20:

1. FOR - 12
2. SIB - 14
3. SPR - 37
4. SUD - 38
5. HAM - 42
6. DAY - 44
7. REK - 53
8. GIL - 60
9. SEA - 66
10. GEO - 66
11. VIC - 73
12. CAP - 74
13. DRT - 76
14. CGY - 78

CORFIELD CONFERENCE PLAYOFF PICTURE:

*FOR is a lock for 1st overall in the conference but can't start resting guys with SIB just 3 points behind AND a game in hand in what will be an interesting battle for 1st overall and home ice in the playoffs.

*DAY looks to finish in 2nd in the conf. but no worse than 3rd barring a total collapse over the next couple weeks.

*GIL & SEA look to fight it out for the 3rd seed, with CAP  - with games in hand  - might dump CGY into the bottom seed before its all over.

*DRT is still within striking distance but needs help to qualify for the playoffs.

CANOSA CONFERENCE PLAYOFF PICTURE:

*SIB will be the #1 seed in the conference.

*As long as HAM continues to play well, it'll be hard for SPR or SUD to catch them. The Tigers, however, have gone just 4-4-0 in their last 8 games and .500 hockey may allow the others to catch up to them. Keep an eye on this playoff race...

*REK, VIC and GEO will fight it out for the last two playoff spots in the Conference. GEO has to catch one of the others and of the two the Puffin are the likely candidate. Good news for the Puffin is that they hold a game in hand over GEO and two games in hand over the Ronin. Another battle to watch closely...

See you next week!
