PCAHA Bantam mid-season – Flight 1-3 Rankings, BWC, Semi and RM lead
Posted on December 19th, 2015 in Other News, regular season
Here's an overview of how things are looking just past the midway point of the regular season in the top three PCAHA Bantam Flights, based on Hockey Hub rankings methodology.
In Hockey Hub rankings, PCAHA's sportsmanship points are not factored, and Winning Percentage rather than points is the determining metric (i.e. W% removes number of games played as a factor). Hockey Hub also uses Goals Against Average as the tie-breaker.
Flight 1 – BWC ranked #1, NSWC #2
BWC A1 have posted a perfect 11 wins in 11 games and are at the top of Flight one, trailed by NSWC, also with 11 wins. North Shore have played two more games, and have two losses on their resume – both have come at the hands of the Bruins, 1-0 on Nov. 8 and 3-2 on Dec. 12.
The two Winter Club teams have opened a sizable lead over #3 Chilliwack (6-4-1) and #4 Sno-Kings (6-5-0).
Cloverdale (5-5-2), who are currently third in the PCAHA standings are #5 in the Hockey Hub rankings, tied with #6 Hollyburn (5-5-1) at .500, but ranked higher due to a better GAA.
Seafair (4-7-1) trail at #7, not far off Hollyburn and Cloverdale.
