rankings last updated March 29, 2004
These ratings are in no way official, they are not endorsed by the NAHL, and are intended only as a way to compare teams from across this geographically diverse league whose schedule includes a very limited number of interdivisional games. Scores and ratings will be updated only once per week during the season, as time permits. Questions and/or corrections should be sent to [email protected].2003-2004 NAHL Scores
These are the scores that the ratings are based upon. It should also be noted that the ratings are an attempt to assess the on-ice game strength of each team, therefore games that are decided via shootout will be treated as ties and games decided via forfeit will be ignored. Follow this link for a description of how the ratings program works, how to interpret them, and what the column headings mean. There are now two ratings. The first has goal differential limited to 1 (thereby just considering w,l,t and strength of opponent), this is the system that has proven best for NCAA D1 teams. The second has goal differential limited to 4 in any one game, this system has proven best for high school hockey (where blowouts are more common and the schedule is less balanced). For more a more detailed comparison of the two ratings, see the NCAA D1 ratings at the link below. Links to other ratings: High School Men's NCAA D1 Tier 1 U17 Tier 1 U16 How good are these rankings?
