SJHL POWER RANKINGS EDITION 11

By: Mike Stackhouse


1-NIPAWIN HAWKS 38-5-2-4 (1)
Unbeaten in 30 and since the calendar flipped to 2018, rookie Austin Mikesch is leading the way with 11-goals in 14-games.


2-BATTLEFORDS NORTH STARS 38-9-2-0 (2)
Layne Young and Cole Johnson have been the best 1-2 offensive combo in the league in the second half.


3-MELFORT MUSTANGS 34-11-4-1 (3)
Reed Gunville had a real good Showcase and he’s continued in the regular season with 18-points in his last 16-games.


4-HUMBOLDT BRONCOS 30-17-3-2 (4)
Parker Tobin has been fantastic in goal and the Broncos aren’t far off from the big three atop the rankings.


5-ESTEVAN BRUINS 28-17-3-2 (5)
Michael McChesney has 10-goals in his last 12-games, and Bo Didur has helped stabilize the defensive end (2.08-GAA).


6-WEYBURN RED WINGS 26-21-4-0 (8)
Snapped a four game skid on Friday night.  They have to be looking over their shoulder and fearing 8th place and a date with Flin Flon in the Survivor Series.


7-NOTRE DAME HOUNDS 26-21-1-3 (6)
Disappointing second half of the season and five straight losses.


8-KINDERSLEY KLIPPERS 22-20-4-3 (7)
Just when you think they are about to go on a streak, they drop three games they should be expected to win.


9-FLIN FLON BOMBERS 19-23-3-4 (9)
Deceiving team as they have had some real close games with the top teams.


10-MELVILLE MILLIONAIRES 19-29-0-2 (10)
Two wins in a row but nowhere to go in the standings.


11-YORKTON TERRIERS 12-34-2-2 (11)
Too little too late, but they’ve won three in a row and are 4-5-1 in their last ten.  Cole Keenleyside (10-6-6-12) and Quinten Hobbs (10-5-3-8) have been pleasant surprises.


12-LA RONGE ICE WOLVES 8-39-0-3 (12)
Winless in eleven and appear destined for the league’s worst record in light of Yorkton’s recent win streak.
