GOJHL Rankings – October 1

I had decided in the summer that I wanted to do a ranking system for the teams.  Everybody talks about this team being the number 1 ranked team, or how this is the hottest team, and thought, lets actually see if it’s true.

So first off, thank you to St. Catharines Falcons statistician Sean Burrows on helping me come up with the ranking system.  It is completely mathematical, so you can’t come back on me and say that I’ve ranked a certain team higher/lower based on my personal feelings towards them.

I had originally wanted to do this weekly, but it takes a lot of time to put the data together, so I’m going to do it monthly.

So after the month of September, here’s how everyone ranks.

Rank Team Points
1 Caledonia 15
1 Leamington 15
3 Ancaster 22
4 Kitchener 25
5 Stratford 38
6 London 44
7 Welland 46
8 Brantford 47
9 St. Catharines 53
9 Chatham 53
11 Listowel 55
12 Elmira 64
12 Niagara Falls 64
14 LaSalle 66
15 St. Thomas 69
16 Guelph 73
17 Sarnia 80
18 Thorold 87
19 Lambton Shores 89
20 Strathroy 90
21 Brampton 91
22 St. Marys 93
23 Waterloo 95
24 Cambridge 96
25 Pelham 111
25 Fort Erie 111

 

This is how the rankings were done.  I ranked the teams 1-26 in 5 different categories: Goals for, goals against, win percentage, powerplay percentage and penalty kill percentage.  For each category position, they received 1 point.  As you can see, Caledonia and Leamington are at the top.  These are their numbers:

Caledonia = 45 Goals for, 1 rank, 14 goals against, 3 rank, 1.000 win %, 1 rank, 28.89 PP%, 2 rank, and 88.46 PK%, 8 rank.  1+3+1+2+8 = 15

Leamington = 33 goals for, 3 rank, 16 goals against, 4 rank, 0.857 win %, 4 rank, 29.41 PP%, 1 rank, 94.12 PK%, 3 rank. 3+4+4+1+3 = 15

Are there any teams that surprise you with their rank?

 

So after one month of play, here are the standings, top 20 scorers, and top 11 goaltenders.  It’s 11 because Paolo Battisti from LaSalle is tied for 10th.
