[net.sport.hockey] CIAU Rankings

mathnews@watdcsu.UUCP (mathNEWS) (11/27/85)

Thought that these might be interesting to post.  Here are the latest
rankings of CIAU hockey teams (as of November 26).  Last week's
ranking is in parentheses.

	 1.  Alberta		( 1)
	 2.  Moncton		( 3)
	 3.  Ottawa		( 2)
	 4.  Wilfrid Laurier	( 7)
	 5.  Waterloo		( 6)
	 6.  PEI		( 4)
	 7.  York		(10)
	 8.  Trois Rivieres	( 8)
	 9.  Saskatchewan	( 5)
	10.  Dalhousie		(NR)

The OUAA is shaping up to be a real battle this season.  Waterloo,
Laurier and York are all tied for first place with 15 points (Laurier
has two games in hand), and there are a handful of teams with between
10 and 12 points and a game in hand right behind.  There's a nice
rivalry shaping up between Waterloo and Laurier (good to see, since
Laurier is just about a kilometre down the street from here).  The
only problem is that Waterloo's all-star goaltender, Peter Crouse, is
injured and the team is hoping he'll be better after Christmas.

York, Toronto, Laurier and Western have been playing in various
tournaments around the continent.  All but Toronto have turned in good
performances, but the Blues aren't used to losing at hockey.  Look for
Toronto and Western to move up in the standings (and rankings) in the
new year.

Does anyone know what's happening in the AUAA, QUAA, GPAC and Canada
West leagues?
