@ Avon Old Farms 6, Westminster 2 -- The #1-ranked Winged Beavers (17-0-1) exploded for five third-period goals en route to their 17th win. Junior F Cooper Snee led the attack with a pair of goals. Senior F Hayden Hastings (1g,1a), senior d-men Magnus Turcotte (2a) and Andrew Pitts (2a), and PG F Alex Pelletier (2a) also had two-point days. Sophomore G Anthony Palmer (26/28) picked up another win. Westy senior Matteo De Luca (40/45) took the loss.

@ Berkshire 6, Canterbury 2 -- The Canterbury Express, rolling into Sheffield with seven straight wins, got derailed by host Berkshire (15-7-0), which took over with four third-period goals. Sophomore F Matt Lacombe had a pair of goals. And freshman F Jonah Rainisch (1g,1a), junior F Devan Hikspoors (2a), senior F Camden Raifstanger (2a), and senior D Jack Turowsky (2a) chipped in with two points apiece. Senior G Tommy Adams (28/30) earned the win. Canterbury junior Maxim Pitts (24/29) took the loss. Canterbury is 15-6-2.

Frederick Gunn 6, Millbrook 1 -- Gunn (11-7-3) got three unanswered first-period goals and extended its unbeaten streak to five (4-0-1). Senior Mark Pizzo (2g), junior Will Jackson (1g,1a), and sophomore Tucker Mears (2a) each had two points. Senior G Mitchell McCusker (19/20) earned the win. Millbrook's Dean Repachi (51/57) faced a ton of rubber.

Cushing 6 @ Tilton 2 -- #4-ranked Cushing (18-2-0) was unable to extend its shutout streak to five, but rolled on nonetheless. Senior F Emerson Marshall (2g,1a), and junior forwards Kole Hyles (2g) and Luke Goukler (2a) led the offense. Senior G Marko Bilic (16/18) picked up another win. For the Rams (10-8-1), junior F Jake Tash had a pair of goals, and junior netminder Marty Pierce (47/53) was better than the final score indicated. Probably exhausted, too.

Deerfield 5 @ Andover 3 -- The Big Green (9-7-2) went on the road and knocked off the #9-ranked Big Blue (12-5-1). Junior F Lance Roberts (2g), senior F Tom Molson (1g,1a), and junior F Justin Tavares (1g,1a) led the attack, and senior G John Tolve kicked out 25 of 28 shots for the win. Andover senior Ben Skowronek (30/34) took the loss.

@ Kents Hill 10, Bridgton 1 -- Junior forwards Ben Chapdelaine (2g,1a) and Zachary Tsatas (1g,2a), and senior forwards Tanner Cole (1g,2a) and Mathis Turgeon (1g,2a) all had three-point days. Senior G Kody Yancey (21/22) earned the win. Kents Hill (9-10-3) outshot Bridgton 55-22, and has four wins in its last five games and is 6-1-1 over its last eight.

@ Loomis 5, Williston 1 -- #7 Loomis (12-5-1) scored four unanswered third-period goals, each from a different scorer, and junior G Liam Joyce stopped 18 of 19 shots. Williston junior G Zack Tremblay (39/44) took the loss.

@ Brunswick 3, Lawrenceville 1 -- #2 Brunswick (15-2-2) got offense from its big guns: seniors Sean Gibbons (1g,2a), Brendan Giles (2g), and Ryan Wachtel (2a). Sophomore G Dylan Lee-Stack (28/29) was strong in net for 'Wick. L'ville senior G Kyle Ozgun had a good day (30/33) but took the loss. It was L'ville's first game in nine days as, over the weekend, they had to bow out of the Two Nations Prep Showcase due to a lack of healthy players.

Portsmouth Abbey 3 @ Worcester Academy 0 -- Senior G Patrick McDevitt posted a 41-save shutout to lead the Ravens (9-9-3) to the road win. WA sophomore G Noah Schenenga (36/38) took the hard-luck loss. P-Abbey got its goals from senior F Luke Stock and junior F Hunter McCarthy and added an empty-netter from junior Noah Jimbo.

@ Winchendon 3, Austin Prep 1 -- The Wapitis (9-12-0) got goals from three different scorers. Junior G Dylan Michelow (24/25) earned the win and AP sophomore Liam Burke (33/35) played well in a losing cause, keeping AP in the game throughout (the final goal was an empty-netter.)

St. Paul's 7 @ New Hampton 1 -- A resurgent SPS squad (9-12-1) picked up its fifth consecutive win behind the offense of sophomore Anderson Kilbourne (1g,2a), juniors Tommy Humphreys (2g) and Michael O'Brien (2g), and senior Lino Viau (2a). Sophomore Blake Truchon picked up the win in net.

Holderness 3 @ Exeter 1 -- #5-ranked Holderness (18-1-0) got all its goal-scoring in the second period as junior forwards Tanner Petalas and Jacob Duvall, and PG Pavel Mehra found the back of the net. Senior D Caeden Harrington picked up helpers on two of those goals. Bulls' senior G Ryan Nolan (19/20) earned the win. Exeter senior Brady Quackenbush (30/33) took the loss.

Lawrence Academy 4 @ Belmont Hill 3 -- Bel Hill took a 3-2 lead in the early stages of the third, but Lawrence senior Shawn Leary scored twice in the final four minutes, including the game-winner with 37 seconds left. LA senior Otto McLaughlin (27/30) ever-so-slightly outdueled Hillies' junior Keagin Wilson (26/30) to pull out the win. It's no surprise this was a tight, evenly-matched game: Lawrence is 11-6-1 and Belmont Hill is 11-6-2.

BB&N 5, Pingree 1 -- In a game tied 1-1- after the two frames, BB&N scored twice in the early stages of the third to pull ahead, then added two ENGs for the cherry on top. Knights' sophomore Ben Romer (2g,2a) had a big night, and his classmate, goalie James Potter, went 39/40. BB&N, which entered the week 1-16-0, beat Wilbraham & Monson in OT on Monday. Now the Knights have won back-to-back games for the first time since January of 2018.

Tabor 3 @ Governor's 2 -- Gov's senior Cam Russo scored with just under eight minutes left to make this a one-goal game, but junior G Owen Byers (31/33) did enough in the waning minutes to secure a Seawolves win. Senior d-man Cole Estey (1g,1a) paced the Tabor (8-10-1) attack. 

Groton 2 @ Rivers 1 -- Groton freshman Harrison Freelove scored the game-winner on the PP nearly eight minutes into the third. The frosh's deciding goal came after Rivers eighth-grader Carter Meyer, his team's leading scorer, put the Red Wings ahead in the first, but Zebras' sophomore KJ Ni tied the game in the second. The GWG was Freelove's fifth goal of the season. Groton senior Ethan Ramonetti (28/29) got the win in net; Rivers senior Jason Delehoy (24/26) took the hard-luck loss.

@ Kimball Union 4, NMH 0 -- KUA senior standout Jack Sadowski (2g,2a) figured into all four of his team's goals and his classmate, G Colby Boyce, posted a 17-save shutout. Wildcats' junior Corwith Simmers tacked on a goal and two helpers. #3 Kimball Union is 20-2-0. NMH is 6-15-0.

@ St. Mark's 3, Roxbury Latin 2 (OT) -- St. Mark's senior Jonathan Balzarini scored the GWG 3:25 into OT, saving the Lions (12-5-0) from what could've been a back-breaking loss. Junior G Cassidy Kittredge (20/22) got the win in net.

@ NYA 5, Hebron 1 -- After North Yarmouth Academy scored on three of its first 10 shots, Hebron coach Jack O'Brien lifted junior G Hayden Plimley for senior Julian Karagiannis. Karagiannis, a Quebec native, saved 40 of 42 shots the rest of the way, but the damage had been done. Junior Vincent Ouellet (27/28) got the win in goal for the Panthers.

Proctor 9 @ Brewster 5 -- Brewster (4-15-0) scored three times in the first and held a 5-3 lead with eight minutes to play, but Proctor (7-12-0) stormed back, scoring six goals in a seven-minute span to pull out an improbable win. The third-period explosion was only a matter of time for Proctor, which outshot its hosts 56-24. Hornets' senior Finn Connor notched a hat trick; he was joined by three other teammates who also had three-point nights. Junior G Chris Dakers (19/24) will certainly take the win.

Salisbury 4 @ Trinity-Pawling 3 -- After an OT game-winner in their earlier meeting, #6 Salisbury (13-4-1) once again sneaked past T-P (5-12-1) by a 4-3 score. Pride junior Liam Lefebvre scored a powerplay goal with a second left in the second to make it a one-goal game, but Cimson Knights' junior G Steven Luciano (30/33) kicked out every shot he faced in the third, and his team prevailed. Senior Seamus Latta scored twice and added a helper in the win. T-P junior G Ondrej Matousek, a native of the Czech Republic, went 37/41 in the defeat.

@ Kent 3, Taft 2 -- Taft (8-9-1) took a 2-1 lead into the first intermission, but Kent senior G Aidan Hopewell (28/30) barred the door after that. In the second, Kent seniors Owen Mahar and defenseman Denver Damphousse scored to put the Lions in front for good. Kent is 12-6-1.

@ Hotchkiss 10, Choate 1 -- Behind a four-goal night from senior captain Jake Owens (4g,1a), Hotchkiss (6-9-2) continued its recent hot streak. The Bearcats started the season 2-8-2, but have won four of five dating back to Jan. 20. Five Hotchkiss skaters tallied at least three points. Junior G Connor Towle (14/15) got the start and played two periods; with his team ahead 7-1, PG Ian Johnson (10/10) finished off the win.

Dexter 6, Pomfret 2 -- Pomfret (7-11-2) held a 2-1 lead more than halfway through, but Dexter (13-5-2) battened down the hatches, scoring five unanswered from then on. Though Dexter's goals came from six different scorers, juniors Sean Leetch (1g,4a) and Nathan Porter (1g,3a), and sophomore Joseph Marchi (1g,3a) all helped themselves in the points column. Sophomore G Colin Davis (24/26) got the win between the pipes; Griffins' sophomore Joey Mitchell (37/43) took the loss.

Nobles 6 @ Thayer 2 -- In a game that was deadlocked 2-2 after the second, #8 Nobles (11-6-2) erupted for four unanswered goals in the third. Juniors Dennis Davidson (2g,1a) and Kyle O'Leary (1g,2a) paced the Bulldogs' attack. The win, coupled with Andover's loss to Deerfield, has Nobles in the final spot in the Elite 8 picture. However, there's a long way to go yet.

Playoff Seedings Explained

Recently a USHR subscriber wrote in inquiring about Choate’s puzzling placement in the current playoff seedings – “Is there a reason that Choate Girls Hockey is the only team not ranked properly in the playoff seedings?”. It’s an excellent question, and on the surface it does seem odd that such a strong team RPI-wise would find itself on the outside looking in with respect to gaining entry into the Elite 8.

Before we dive into the answer, first a bit of history. For much of its existence prep hockey playoff seedings were determined by committee; that is, at the end of the regular season coaches would gather and vote on which teams should make it into the playoffs.

On the boy’s side this all changed in 2010 with the invention of JSPR -- an algorithm similar to the NCAA pairwise ranking system – developed here at USHR by Taft and Carnegie Mellon alum Jeremy Philipson. Meanwhile on the girls side playoff seedings continued to be done by committee, until last season that is. As far as we’re aware no public announcement was ever made, so let this be one: NEPSGIHA now uses JSPR to determine their playoff seedings.

Of course, that doesn’t help those of you who don’t know what JSPR is, and why Choate, which we’ll get to, finds itself out of the Elite 8. So, without further ado, let’s dive in.

JSPR’s statistical foundation is based upon RPI (Ratings Percentage Index), which represents the strength of schedule of each participating NEPSGIHA team (including affiliate programs, e.g., The Hill School). It is both the starting point for Elite 8 eligibility, and the determining factor in small and large school playoff seedings, which, once the Elite 8 is determined, are based solely on RPI ranking.

RPI is calculated as follows: WP (Winning Percentage) + OWP (Opponents' Winning Percentage) + OOWP (Opponents' Opponents’ Winning Percentage). The winning percentage formula is wins plus ties (valued at half a win) divided by games played.

With the RPI calculations tallied, we then move on to JSPR, which consists of four criteria, the combination of which is used to determine which teams make it into the Elite 8, and, by extension, which teams “fall” into the small and large school playoff tournaments.

The four categories are as follows:

1. Head-to-head result(s), i.e., teams' records vs. each other on ice.

2. Comparing two teams' RPI, i.e., how they stand against all other NEPSGIHA teams. (This ensures that the RPI is still a critical component of the JSPR Rankings.)

3. Record against mutual opponents, i.e., how two teams fared when facing mutual opponents on the ice.

4. Record against Teams Under Consideration, i.e., how two teams fared vs. other top 16 teams (as determined by the RPI).

If Team A wins the comparisons over Team B they get one JSPR point. In the event of a comparison tie, the fall back is head-to-head results (if exist), followed by RPI. The eight teams with the most JSPR points at the end of the regular season form the Elite 8 (there too, in the event of a JSPR points tie, the tie breaker rules fall back to head-to-head results and finally RPI).

There’s more to it than that, subtleties such as what constitutes a valid NEPSGIHA game (e.g., prior to last season affiliate vs. affiliate results were excluded, but are now included) and rules surrounding overtime games during holiday tournaments, and how on earth the algorithm is implemented (recursion aplenty), but the above are the basics, and should give prep hockey fans deeper insight into why the playoff seedings are as they are.

Which brings us full circle, back to Choate. We now see that RPI is just one criteria in the JSPR comparison matrix. Due to their poor performance against TUCs the Boars are, well, in a bind. Projections indicate that somehow they need to claw back at least one JSPR point from the teams ahead of them. The only way that’s going to happen is if they win the common opponents comparison, the RPI comparison, and hope they haven’t played any of those teams head-to-head (since they have just two victories over the projected top 8 teams). They need some help, likely in the form of down-the-stretch face planting by one or more of Loomis, Deerfield, Tabor, and St. Paul’s, but statistically they’ve still got a shot.

Also in the mix, Groton, Westy and BB&N, but the hill may be steeper yet for them to climb. We’ll know more after today’s games.

Lastly, for those of you who are wondering where playoff seedings can be viewed, look under the “Playoffs” dropdown menu in the main navigation above. You can see current RPI, JSPR, and playoff seedings, along with their projected end-of-season equivalents under the above menu.

Good luck to all teams in the final week!
