#5 Salisbury Shoots Down #1 Winged Beavers
LeDrew, McMeniman Lead #3 KUA Past #2 Cushing
Surging Arrows Win 6th Straight
Gunn's LoGuercio Strikes Again
Buckley's 2 Goals, Shea SO Lead Dragons
#4 Brunswick Blanks Taft

St. Sebastian's 7, Governor 3 -- The Arrows (17-6-1) knocked off Gov's (8-14-2), extending their winning streak to six games, and, as of this minute, hold the #8 spot in the Elite 8. Today, Seb's spread the offense among seven different scorers. The point leader was the Arrows' top scorer, senior Matt Cataldo, who had three assists. Senior Pelle Russo (22/25) picked up the win, before giving way to classmate Chase McCann late in the third.

@ Dexter 7, Kents Hill 2 --
Junior Nathan Porter (2g,1a) and senior Cullen Emery (2g,2a) helped stake Dexter (16-7-2) to a 6-0 lead by the end of the second period. Junior Sean Leetch (1g,3a) tacked on four points of his own. Both Kents Hill goals came from junior Zachary Tsatas in the third period. Eighth-grade G Justin Lee (23/25) earned his second win in net for Dexter, which has won three straight. After a six-game win streak, Kents Hill  (12-13-3) has lost three in a row. 

@ Frederick Gunn 8, Choate 1 -- For the second time in a week, senior F Alex LoGuercio posted a 3-goal-2-assist day leading Gunn (14-10-5) past Choate (3-19-0). Gunn senior G Mitchell McCusker (14/14) posted a two-period shutout, with junior Colin Logan (6/7) coming in for the third. The Wild Boars' senior goalie Ryder Holloway (38/46) was shelled.

@ Pomfret 3, Millbrook 2 (OT) -- Pomfret PG Colden Lawrence scored the game-winner 3:56 into OT, lifting the Griffins (11-12-3) to a home win over Millbrook (5-18-3). Earlier, just past the midpoint of the third period, Millbrook PG Dalton Kane had scored a powerplay goal to tie the score. Both goalies, Mustangs' senior Tyler Spokane (29/32) and Pomfret senior Beau Johnson (28/30) were solid.

@ Salisbury 5, Avon Old Farms 1 -- #5 Salisbury (16-5-1) handed #1 Avon (19-2-1) its second loss of the season, getting goals from five different scorers and dominating throughout. Salisbury senior G Cooper Flemming (21/22) was excellent. For the first time in his nascent career Avon sophomore G Anthony Palmer (35/40) allowed more than two goals in a game.

@ Thayer 4, Tabor 2 -- The Tigers started strong with a three-goal first period and that was all they needed. Junior F Kevin Delay (1g,1a), freshman F Michael Federico (1g,1a), and junior D Declan Devin (2a) each had two-point days.

Pingree 3 @ Andover 3 (OT) -- The two opposing goalies -- Andover senior Ben Skowronek (47/50) and Pingree senior Nick Hubbard (45/48) -- combined for 98 saves. That's a lot of rubber. For Pingree, junior Joe Gaffney had two goals. Andover got goals from three different scorers. Andover (13-10-2) is slumping. Several weeks ago they were in the Elite 8 hunt but have gone 1-6-1 over their last eight games. Pingree (14-9-4) is undefeated over its last five (4-0-1).

Deerfield 3 @ Exeter 1 -- Big Green senior G John Tolve kicked out 24 of 25 shots, and PG Rowan Heitoff, and juniors Lance Roberts, and Justin Tavares (ENG) found the back of the net. Exeter PG Brady Quackenbush (28/30) had a strong game but came out on the short end. Deerfield (12-8-3) has lost just once in its last six games. Exeter (13-11-4) had a four-game win streak snapped.

Vermont Academy 3 @ Brewster 2 -- VA senior captain Shane Prusak put his team ahead 3-1 less than two minutes into the second, but Brewster junior Austin Luciani struck back 43 seconds later to make it a one-goal game. From there, though, the Bobcats never cracked the Wildcats defense again. Vermont Academy is 3-18-2; Brewster is 5-19-1.

@ Rivers 3, Middlesex 2 -- Rivers got powerplay goals from sophomore Jonathan Rivard and senior Cadyn Miceli in the second, then withstood a third-period Middlesex goal to prevail for its fifth win in the last six games. Red Wings' senior G Jason Delehoy (15/17) wasn't tested much, while Middlesex senior Caio Bernardini (37/40) saw a lot of rubber. Rivers is one of the youngest teams in the land — with 11 underclassmen and four 8th-graders — but is 16-9-1, sits second in the Small School playoff picture, and just keeps winning.

@ Westminster 5, Berkshire 4 (OT) -- Junior F Blake Burke's goal 14 seconds into OT lifted host Westminster (9-10-3) to the win, its fourth in its last five games. Despite Berkshire junior F Duncan Thompson's hat trick, Westy led 4-3 after two periods. But in the third, Berkshire junior F Walker Bright's game-tying goal at 6:43 was the period's sole goal, sending the game to OT, where Burke sent the crowd home happy. Junior F Quinn Pine (2g,1a) led Westy's scorers. In net, senior Matteo De Luca (48/52) came up big. For Berkshire, senior Kyle Bolduc (24/29) took the loss. Berkshire is 18-9-0.

@ Brunswick 3, Taft 0 -- Behind a 28-save shutout from senior Will Baker and goals from three NCAA-bound seniors, Brunswick (20-3-2) earned its fifth straight win. Sean Gibbons (West Point) scored a shorty in the first, Ryan Wachtel (Princeton) notched a second-period score, and Cooper Cleaves (Dartmouth) added an ENG in the third. Taft junior G Brady Morris (26/28) also played well, but his offense couldn't help him much.

@ Hotchkiss 7, Trinity-Pawling 1 -- Senior Jake Owens and junior Evan Jones scored two goals apiece, pacing Hotchkiss (8-11-4) in a home win over Trinity-Pawling (5-16-1). Bearcats junior G Connor Towle (25/26) earned the win in net. On the other end, it was a rough night for T-P's Czech junior Ondrej Matousek (24/31). The Bearcats, who started 2-8-2, are 6-3-2 since Jan. 20th and have now matched last season's win total.

St. Mark's 4 @ Lawrence 1 -- After a scoreless first period, St. Mark's (16-9-0) erupted for three goals in a five-minute span in the second and never looked back. Defenseman Calvin Beard (1g,2a), Sacred Heart commit Austin Borggaard (2g), and Air Force recruit Andrew Gibbons (1g,1a) paced the Lions, while junior G Justin BriseBois (30/31) was excellent in the blue paint. LA (14-9-1), meanwhile, has dropped three of its last four games.

St. George's 4 @ Groton 0 -- Dragons' senior Danny Buckley scored twice and senior G Ryder Shea, a Maine commit, stopped all 32 shots he faced. With the win, #10-ranked St. George's (21-3-1) clinched the ISL Eberhart title. Groton is 11-6-6.

@ NYA 3, Portsmouth Abbey 2 (OT) -- North Yarmouth Academy sophomore Hugo Daniel scored his second goal of the day 27 seconds into OT. Minutes earlier, in the third, The Abbey had taken a 2-1 lead on junior Noah Jimbo's goal, but NYA senior Matthew Brown scored less than a minute later, sending the game to the extra period and setting up Daniel's golden goal. In net, senior Aidan McAuslin (28/30) got the win for the Panthers (11-14-4). Senior Patrick McDevitt (30/33) took the loss for the Ravens (11-13-4).

@ Tilton 6, Hebron 0 -- Tilton senior G Blaze Martonick (20/20) posted his first shutout, senior Danny Storella (2g,2a) had a monster day, and junior Noah Pineo (2g) added two goals of his own. The Rams, with the victory, climb above .500 (13-12-1). Hebron is 3-25-1.

Loomis 7 @ NMH 2 -- Loomis (13-8-1), which entered the day having lost five of its last six, banished its recent frustration at the Hoggers' expense. Sophomore Indiana Grossbard and senior Ethan Woolcott paced the Pelicans with a goal and two helpers each. In net, junior Liam Joyce (12/13) got the start, then post-grad Jasper Curtis saved 10 of 11 third-period shots in his prep debut.

@ Kent 6, Canterbury 2 -- Canterbury senior Jake Stevens scored a powerplay goal just past the midpoint of the third, giving his team a 4-3 lead on the road, but the host Lions didn't quit. Instead, they roared back, scoring three unanswered goals in the final eight-and-a-half minutes to pull one out of the hat. Senior Gio DiGiulian netted the GWG. Kent senior G Aidan Hopewell (35/39) got the win in goal. Canterbury junior Maxim Pitts (23/29) took the loss. Kent (14-7-2) is 4-1-1 over its last six. The Saints (17-9-2) have dropped three of four.

Brooks 3 @ Roxbury Latin 2 -- Junior Griffin Bucci's goal at 13:59 of the third period lifted Brooks to the road win. Junior Brendan Peck and freshman Andrew Martin scored Brooks's other goals.

New Hampton 5 @ Proctor 1 -- Huskies' PG Alex Lafreniere came up with a sterling performance, kicking out 46 of 47 shots. Junior F Connor Pierson (1g,2a) and junior D Broden Wood (2g) led the attack. Senior Caden Pasqualone (27/31) took the loss for the Hornets.

Kimball Union 4 @ Cushing 2 -- In a battle of heavyweights, KUA (27-3-0) won the back half of the home-and-home weekend series with Cushing (24-3-0) behind a hat trick from senior Sam LeDrew and sparkling goaltending from junior Blake McMeniman. After a scoreless first period in which Cushing had the edge in play, the pace -- and scoring -- heated up in the second as Cushing came out pressing. It paid off quickly, with PG Bronson Hunt scoring on the powerplay at 2:50 and Max Dineen making it 2-0 with an even-strength goal just 1:17 later to put the Penguins up, 2-0. KUA kept at it, though, and later, in a similar sequence, got goals 43 seconds apart from LeDrew on the powerplay and CJ Watroba at even strength to make it 2-2 and quiet the Penguin faithful. The third period was even better than the second. Here's where McMeniman shined, as the Penguins were pressing the play all around McMeniman, who had his head on a swivel with pucks coming at him from all points on the compass. At the other end, Bilic was facing just as many shots but less sustained pressure. Finally, at 13:50, LeDrew finished off a great passing sequence with linemate Jack Sadowski and defenseman Jack McMinn to give KUA a 3-2 lead. LeDrew immediately went from celebrating his goal to the penalty box, taking a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting. (The same thing happened Friday when a Cushing player did the same to KUA. Mind your manners, guys.) Shortly after Le Drew got out of the penalty box, he scored an ENG to cap off his hat trick and the win. Shots were 15-15 in the third. There's not much separating these two teams. McMeniman (36/38) earned the win. Cushing senior Marko Bilic (32/35) took the loss. All in all, an excellent hard-fought game between two excellent teams. It had a playoff feel. Who knows, but they might meet again in a couple of weeks.

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!
