Near-Infinite Possibilities on Final Day
As anyone who watched the results come in last night can tell you, it was wild, kind of like Election Night, with teams moving in and out, up and down.

And that was with a small schedule. Today and tonight, with just about everyone going at it, promises to be even wilder.

Tip to the wise: don’t look at JSPR/RPI before every single game is in. It will make you crazy.

Last night, we saw an example of how a single game can turn everything upside down. When Dexter blanked St. Paul’s, 6-0, the latter no longer became one of the 16 Teams Under Consideration, and Tabor, without even playing anyone yesterday, jumped up into the group of 16 -- and with two JSPR points!

This flip-flop is a fortunate development for teams in the Top 16 with good records vs. Tabor. Suddenly, they picked up valuable comparison points. Meanwhile, wins vs. St. Paul’s became less valuable – at least for one day.

Therefore, games involving those two schools will likely have a huge ripple effect on the fortunes of many other teams. Tabor is at NMH (12:30 pm), and St. Paul’s is at Lawrence Academy (4:30 pm).

Right now, there are four teams – Brunswick, Brooks, Kimball Union, and Choate – all fighting for the final slot in the Elite 8. It’s within the realm of possibility that all four could end up tied in points – something, by the way, that has never happened before -- and tie-breakers would be required to sort it all out. Let’s just say there are many, many scenarios surrounding today’s results, and it tumbles down through the ranks of the large and small school fields. To give one more example, St. Sebastian’s @ Thayer (5:30 pm). Keep an eye on that one too.

Finally, there are potential big games – i.e games that will likely only be recognizable as big games once all the computations are made. That’s when teams can look back on that one bad game in early December, and rue that day forever.

***
We ask that all coaches look through today’s prep schedule, below, and make sure that all NEPSIHA-eligible games are included.

We also ask, on behalf of all concerned, that all coaches get tonight’s results entered as soon as possible, so players, coaches, parents, and fans aren’t up past midnight tearing their hair out.

Prep Girls Rankings

Here are the unofficial girls prep rankings as of Mon. Feb. 9th. These numbers are drawn from the reported results here at the U.S. Hockey Report. Any missing games or innacurate results could skew the figures, so if anyone sees a missing league game, or an innacurate result, please send an email to information(at)ushr.com with "Girls Preps" in the subject line. Thank you in advance.

A couple of interesting points: Tabor has no wins or ties in power games. They are 0-4-0 against DI teams over .500. However, Tabor has beaten Lawrence twice. And Lawrence, which is just a game under .500 in Div. I play (6-7-3), could help themselves as well as Tabor if they do indeed reach the .500 mark.

Also, Berwick has played no Div. I teams, but is scheduled to play Exeter on Fri. Feb. 27th.

Div. I
1. Kent
2. Williston
3. St. Paul's (tie)
3. Nobles (tie)
5. Pomfret
6. Loomis (tie)
6. Westminster (tie)
8. Andover
9. Choate
10. Exeter
11. New Hampton
12. Tabor

Div. II
1. Worcester
2. Rivers
3. Southfield
4. Berwick
5. Gunnery
6. Canterbury
7. Proctor
8. St. George's
9. Hebron (tie)
9. Brooks (tie)
11. Greenwich
12. Governor's
13. Holderness
14. Groton
