Average ranking of each league:
HEAL RPI
WCHA: 18.00 WCHA: 18.30
HEA: 21.44 HEA: 19.44
CCHA: 25.00 CCHA: 24.09
ECAC: 21.25 ECAC: 23.33
IND: 43.50 IND: 43.50
Notes for this issue --
- RPI and HEAL agree on the first three teams, and though each rating
scheme has them in the same order for the past 3 weeks, the order is
different for each scheme.
- HEAL teams in positions #4-#7 are essentially tied.
- I've run a few scenarios and it appears that Clarkson cannot catch
Maine for the 2nd bye with either HEAL or RPI. Of course, the NCAA
Ice Hockey Tournament Selection Committee, in their infinite
wisdom/meddling may change the rules again this year.
- All HEAL top-12 teams, with the exceptions of New Hampshire and
Colgate, remain in the hunt for their league tournament championships.
Of the RPI top-12, New Hampshire and Northeastern have ended their
conference playoff hopes.
- NCAA tournament selections and final HEAL rankings next week.
On "The Heal Point System" ...
The Heal Point System is used to rank secondary schools in Maine in
several sports. The Heal Point System was developed many years ago by
Durwood Heal to rank Maine secondary school basketball teams.
On the Maine secondary school calculation ...
"P.I." stands for "Preliminary Index". "P.I." is calculated for each
team by giving a team 40 points for each win and 20 points for each tie,
and then dividing by the number of scheduled games. Minimum "P.I." is
1.00.
"T.I." stands for "Tournament Index" and is used to rank the teams.
"T.I." is calculated for each team by summing the "P.I." of the
opponents for each win, one half the "P.I." for each tie, then dividing
by the number of games scheduled and then multiplying by 10.
Note: This Division I college hockey "Heal Point System" ranking uses
the number of games played instead of the number of games scheduled.
Since all games in Division I college hockey are normally played,
there is no difference between this and the traditional Heal Point
System at end of season and this method produces better preliminary
results.
Game scores for this ranking have been provided by Mike Machnik and
HOCKEY-L, The College Hockey Discussion List, an internet mailing list
hosted by The University of Maine System. Mr. Machnik's composite of
all Division I men's ice hockey games is available in the HOCKEY-L
([log in to unmask]) archives as file "9495COMP SCHEDULE".
