Average ranking of each league:
WCHA: 16.60
HEA: 20.78
CCHA: 25.00
ECAC: 22.92
IND: 43.50
Notes for this issue:
1. The HEAL formula has been adjusted slightly to compensate for some
teams having played more of their schedule at this point than
others. This is described below.
2. Big movers in the top teams were New Hampshire (from #8 to #5 with
a split with Boston University) and Northeastern (from #19 to #15
with a two game drubbing of Mass-Lowell). Of course, Mass-Amherst
leaped out of the cellar.
3. HEAL and RPICH have relative agreement this week (CHODR has a few
"out-liers". WMEB and Troy Record Polls have relative agreement,
but are a jumble compared with any of the computed rankings.
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
