Currently Findlay is 1st and Bemidji State is last. Go figure. HEAL ranking comments: HEAL and other rankings seem to start settling down about this time of year. Much of that is because of fewer games played each week, but some is due to the more substantial data base of results. This is the first distributed HEAL ranking of the season. Findlay, as an "emerging D-I" team, is not eligible for this year's NCAA tournament and so has been omitted from the HEAL ranking. Comments on HEAL and the latest HEAL ranking may be found on the web at http://Maine.edu/HEAL/ Game scores for this ranking have been provided by US College Hockey Online, sometimes supplemented by other sources.
