Here are some early predictions based on nothing more than how the league has performed over the last 3 years and what I have heard and seen throughout the league in terms of teams building up, breaking up and who they are recruiting. I am not going 1-14 but rather tier the teams:

Top Shelf:
MB,VP

Tier 2:
MT, HV

Tier 3:
MR, VR, TE, MNS, GTC

Tier 4:
DD, FT, ST

Tier 5:
WML, TW

Too early to tell. Still time for the best laid plans to blow up .

More importantly we still need to see who reign supreme for this year. Will it be the West or the East.
One Final four spot still up for grabs. Big game next Friday between HV and GTC. Winner moves on to final 4. GTC has not been able to beat HV yet this year so let’s see if they can step up or fizzle away.

HV with a big advantage in goal. No cinderella's this year with the top 4 shaping up the way the standings ended. MT losing to MNS last night doesn't bode well for them heading into the 2nd round. Beast clearly the top team and playing like it.

Beast clear favorite in repeating for sure. HV should get the 4th seed. Let’s see if their goaltending holds up, they got all the pressure in this game. GTC hasn’t beat them all year so what has changed… nothing…

Not sure if the 11 years olds will feel the pressure. should be a fun game and hopefully both teams play well and its close.
what if they tie and MNS win the last game. Is that a 3 way tie?

Your math checks out

GTC tie, then lose to VP along with a NS win against TE, the cinderella NS move one.

Zero, both GTC and HV have beat the NS. First tie breaker is head to head. GTC and HV play each other so one will have either 6 or 7 points. NS can get 6 at most. They’re done.

Three (3) Teams or more Tied in Round Robin Series

NOTE: The three-team tiebreaker is used to determine the seeding of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd teams. If any step in the tiebreaker only seeds one team, that team assumes that position. The three-team tiebreaker will continue to determine the seeding of the two remaining teams. At no time will teams using this formula go back to the two-team tiebreaker.

B1 If three (3) teams or more are tied, the point record established in the games AMONG THE TIED TEAMS ONLY will be used as the first tie breaking formula in deciding which team(s) shall advance.

B2 The team(s) with the most wins would gain the highest position.

Even if it wasn’t H to H … weren’t they like 22-0 against in their first 3 games? That’s hard to recover from in a tie breaker situation.

Doesn’t matter HV has the golden ticket to the next round. Better goalie, better D, better forwards and of course better coaching.

That’s a lot of “better” everything. Someone reach out to GTC and tell them to stay home

MT should stay home and let the others play. That's one lucky team without any structure. No passing no powerplay and bunch of kis think they can do all. MNS should be in their place .

Oakville has multiple teams. Ones is the true AA and one is a makeshift one. Which one did they play

Who cares about this Korea team… they are not part of the G or O so only teams they will be face will be in a few tournaments through the year.

Oakville Red.

Which Oakville team is better?

MNS got smashed by both Oakville teams and by Newmarket not to mention the embarrassing show at the King of the Rings

Y all the hate on mns. Did u get cut from them or something? MNS is a bottom 3 team no need to discuss them. Any news on the top 8 teams? Any exhibition scores to share?

That sounds like most teams. MT are lucky in the way that they just weather the storm on the opposing team onslaught with dump
Out of zone and icing until they can hope to score a goal for ties. Year after year approach. Those who don’t pass pucks, no structure and don’t have good coaching struggle - GTC and MR. How ironic players from one are loading up to the other. MNS play without structure. They just are a bunch of grinders who work hard. Hard work at times beats talent. TE should have done better in playoffs. The battle
For last is between TE and MR!
