Pre-Season Rankings

12 Brendon - He'll be picked over favreau and demaio for a few weeks till he starts calling icing and offsides at all the wrong times leading to captains not wanting to deal with him for 2 full hours and the loss of what little hope he had for having an enjoyable year. 55 goals and the headphones make a tiumphant return.

11 Demaio - The hair has become distracting at this point. His only hope is to cut it and i have as much faith in that happening as i do him voluteering to play defense all year long. Which he should do by the way. Sorry but 100 points this year seems unlikely. Im guessing attendance drops off as he finally gets fed up with 3 on 3, though his attendance at BWW will remain strong.

10 Favreau - Pretty sad that the biggest surprise on the list comes in the 9 spot, but this year, favreau will grow leaps and bounds as a player. I have complete confidence that he will atleast learn how to hold the stick properly. 40 goals. Yes! 40 goals this year.

9 Griff - This is where he'd be if he was gonna play. Under 55 games played. But a lock for montreal next year.

8 Praters - These two are the future of saugus hockey. Its a shame this is the last year we'll ever play. 200 points combined.

7 Johnny - the over under has been set to 7 weeks till johnny loses intrest in stats due to his own stats flatlining. 4th in scoring even tho there still will be no one covering him in the slot.

6 Ward - He'll be playing defense most games. Forgetting shin pads and gloves every other week wont stop him from hitting the 100 goal plateau.

5 Borges - He'll start the night playing center, but when jared starts going ballistic over ward and thomas giving up 2 on 0 breaks, borges will drop back, resulting in jared whining about no help on offense. Borges ends up with 150 points and somehow a better winning percentage than jared even though theyll be on the same team every week.

4 Dave - I just want you to think for a minute about the other goalies dave will be going against before you go and scoff at him being at number four. 3.6 goals against average and a 68 winning percentage.

3 Nick - Nick will have games that he takes off and doesnt care about but as soon as the sox are out of the playoffs, he'll focus and be a staunch defenseman. His points will drop but his value as a defenseman will never be higher with the talent each week being higher than it has in the past few years.

2 Brett - This is the year his shin splints finally clear up and he can play unimpeded, enabling him to fully display his level 10 talent. This is also the year he blows out both acls. Hes on borrowed time. 70 games played. More goals than assists this year.

1 Jared - It wont be his attendnce record that makes him the most effective player this year. Itll be his defense. Just the slightest bit of improved defensive awareness will pay dividends in the win percentage department. No recordsetting points this year but beats Brett by 20.

Honorable Mention

Ron - You should play ice hockey more. Julians the worst.

Joe - No one comes to the site to see where joe ranked, so he didnt make the list. Dave is not going to enjoy playing with joe and all his screening.

Hockey this Friday - 7:00 Inside Rink

First week of the season.  Let me know who is in:

In: John, Dave (G), Steve (G), Ron, Brendon, Billy T, Jared, Ward

Out: John F, Praters and Joe (all three for next two weeks)

Haven't heard from: Everyone else

Player Rankings - First Pass

Here is the first pass at player rankings for this year.  These are the rankings that go into strength of team stat.  Obviously things are relative to Saugus.  These are also for the players that played last year.  There are about five times the number of players within the system.  Let me know if I've missed anyone, and if anyone's number should be adjusted.
