Average ranking of each league(#teams):
This week Last week
WCHA(09): 17.50 17.40
HEA(09): 20.33 21.11
CCHA(11): 23.20 21.40
ECAC(12): 23.17 24.33
On the rankings this week ...
1. Princeton ... WOW! MSU. Wisc and BC are other conference winners.
2. Most HEAL ranking positions in the top 12 are within one position
of PWR, used by the NCAA Selection Committee ... except for CC.
CC, ranked 10th in my estimated PWR, would be bypassed in a
HEAL-ranked tournament. :-)
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 US
College Hockey Online, sometimes supplimented by other sources. Mr.
Machnik's composite of all Division I men's ice hockey games is
available at http://www.uscollegehockey.com/ in the section marked
schedules and then Division I composite schedule.
