The MyHockey rankings website provides a good resource for gauging how well a team is performing - but in order to objectively compare the relative strengths - we need to dig a little deeper. The first set of rankings are ready - they will be updated every 2 weeks. Please feel free to contact the ranker on the website link. Remember - it's all for fun!

interesting...

I don't mind this approach...

one comment: I still think at this level there is a wide gap in terms of strength of teams even above .500. In other words, if two teams have played the same number of games against .500+ teams, one of the teams could have played SIGNIFICANTLY better teams.

I know strength of schedule is still taken as part of the equation, but I doubt its included in this part of the formula.

What about the strength of the schedule, EMC and Clairington have easier schedules. 500 or better means nothing. My rankings are REBELS #1 YSE #2 KINGS #3 Reps #4

NYR should be off that list after this weekend

EMC ranked several spots above the VKs yet the kings played EMC twice and beat them both times...system doesn't work.

Calrington's ranking is a joke. They have played only 1 good team, Hamilton, and they lost to them.

Can't rank ahead of the big dogs if you don't play the big dogs!

I would agree with the EMC comment. VK definetley ranked higher. Also I dont see how the Marlies are ranked higher that the TYN's since they havent beaten them yet. (0 and 3) dating back to the spring. There are some other teams there that are ranked pretty high that play week schedules,ie. windsor and cambridge etc.

BS Clarington has played Barrie who is a very good team

some good feedback - but you have to remember that the relative strength of the sched is already taken into account mathematically -

No it's not.

Teams that play in a very weak loop get credit for beating weak teams who happen to be above .500.

Beating a top team is much more difficult accomplishment than simply beating any team out there with a decent record.

Beating top teams should be given a much higher weighting. All teams with records above .500 are not created equal.

One other point, who cares about who beat who in august. Games played more recently should have a higher weight. The rankings should reflect how a team is doing now...not months ago.

the strentgh of the schedule is accounted for in the myhockeyrankings - we take this information and add a couple of weight factors based upon performance against top teams - it is a relative comparison - you can take each piece of relevant information and dissect it into 20 different meanings - these rankings provide a better evaluation for the top teams - and we will continue to adjust based on relevant feedback

wow try torquing the bingilator....any coles notes available

That's fine, but most teams in the top 10 have not played the true top teams (Rebels, YSE, Kings, Reps). I think the other site is a little more accurate. Sorry.

Clarington lost to Hamilton in a nothing game in a tournament. They had already had their divison won and Hamilton should be thanking them for doing so as Hamilton wouldn't have moved on. Barrie pounded Hamilton twice in the same weekend and Clarington has beaten Barrie twice.
Ranked where they should be.

Until Clarington beats YSE, Rebels, Kings or Reps...they haven't beaten anybody important.

EMC #2 completely invalidates the rankings.

They are in 2nd because they are in a weak loop.

Must be written by an EMC or clarington dad. nobody else would have posted it.

The boys will show it on the ice not in some silly Dad's ranking.

Clarington avoids the big boys year after year. Call them. Never return calls for exhibition games.

KINGS GOT NOTHING ON THE REBELS
KINGS LIVE IN THE REBELS SHADOW

woohoo we're number 3 yeah all right!! and from the poster that said they never return calls for exhibition games, I happen to know that they've got no games for the next two weeks nothing but practices!! they've been looking for some exhibition games with the so called big dogs but no responses. Anyone want an exhibition game give us a call!! just wait till later tonight as we're at practice right now!! Woof Woof Woof!!!

What a joke London has only played 5 games in their loop and they are ranked that high? Emc lost to Vaughan twice and are ahead of Vaughan? Your factors whatever they are, are terrible.

There 9 smarten up parents

marlies and kingston should not be so high
rangers beat both those teams twice

myhockeyrankings.com is very good, HOWEVER, the goal differential should be really be based on ratio!

Who is better? A team that wins 7-3, or one that wins 3-0?

Hamilton will win when it counts,just watch....... again.......

Surely Kingston can't be ranked this high still. They played all weak teams for those wins and lost to the good teams they have played so far...

2000 October Ontario Ranking LIST
1 Clarington Toros 00 AAA
2 York Simcoe Express 00 AAA
3 Vaughan Kings 00 AAA
4 Mississauga Rebels 00 AAA
5 Hamilton Jr Bulldogs 00 AAA
6 Barrie Colts 00 AAA
7 Mississauga Reps 00 AAA
8 Elgin Middlesex Chiefs 00 AAA
9 Oakville Rangers 00 AAA
10 Toronto Titans 00 AAA

3:37, regarding your comment that Clarington avoids the big boys - LS made those same comments last year and we kicked his ass 6-0 and beat them again in the Preston final... how sweet it was watching the finalsit medal getting squeezed over his head!!!!

Rebels, Kings, YSE, Reps, followed closely by Hamilton, Clarington, and Barrie. These are the top teams and the rest are looking up!

Clarington has nothing to lose when they play you big dogs that can bring players in from everywhere or have a 100 kids to choose their team from. We have the same team year after year aside from a couple of changes without the convenience of poaching talent from miles away. We aren't making excuses or whining either because it is so much more satisfying when we beat and/or compete with every team in the 2000 age group.

9 YEAR OLD RANKINGS 9 PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS NOT A RANKING FOR 9 YEAR OLDS WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CARTOON AT 9 YEARS OLD .ASK YOUR 9 YEAR OLD WHAT HIS RANKING IS???????????????????????????????????

Too many variables to consider when ranking 9 yr olds because most teams have to fairly play everyone and rotate 2 goalies when most of the time there is a clear # 1 however, it isn't midget hockey where you ride one goalie.... unless of coarse you play in the 'G' where the 2nd goalie eats popcorn on the bench, the 5th and 6th defensemen fill water bottles, and the 7th, 8th and 9th forwards warm the center of the bench all for the low price of $5 or $6 grand. KEEP RANKING IDIOTS!!!

lets look at the top for all three web sites that rank the 2000's

3. Clarington Toros (ON) (8-1-1) 7.85
4. York Simcoe Express (ON) (13-4-1) 7.72


Seems to me that all three always have the Rebels Reps Clarington and York Simcoe Express on them There is your top teams.

With the comment above on how Hamilton should thank Clarington for their loss, in the tournament....I guess Hamilton should also Thank them for the OMHA Championship last year.

I am pissed! I want my kids team to be in the top of the rankings. I will start rumours, slam other teams, parents and kids to make me feel better. This is not fair. Put my kids team on top! Now!

Ditto

Rebels Rebels Rebels say it with me Rebels.Rrreee

why on some of the rankings Rebels have a loss and on the other one they don't, but seem to count all there wins?

rebels lost 4-3 to hamilton in august

Top 4 are easy...Rebels, YSE, Kings and Reps.

REPS?

Replace Reps with Barrie and you have it right

EMC second, that is a joke right ? Don't even deserve to be in the top 10.

EMC lost twice to the kings in the little ceasers.

please take sometime to participate in the survey at the bottom of the home page - thanks!

your pt about EMC vs Kings is valid, but if the Leafs beat Pittsburgh 2x it does not make them the number one ranked team

Your comparing 9 year old hockey to the NHL now for your rankings. Get a life!

***your pt about EMC vs Kings is valid, but if the Leafs beat Pittsburgh 2x it does not make them the number one ranked team***

But it might well indicate that the Penguins are rated too highly!

More importantly, there is no where near the parity in kid's hockey, and there are also fewer upsets.

New Rankings out - please fill out the survey about the Shanahan Tourn - thanks!

the site ishttp://www.eteamz.com/2000rankings/

Please explain to me how Barrie moves up when they are 1-2-1 in there last 4 games?

cause the w was a spank and the losses were top 6 teams. you loss to a 10- team, they lose to a 1 and 6 team, is easy. when we beat them tomorrow morning, they will drop abit again depending on the rest of the weekend

Barrie is the only team that does not warrant their ranking on either site.

Rebels/Kings/YSE...a step ahead of the rest

KIngs/Kings/Kings is what the rankings should say. SA number 1

Who's got the best player?

Who's got the best player?

Your son is the best Mister.

Your son is the best Mister.

Rebels are clearly #1. One loss in the regular season, and they have won the Marlie Tournament with the YSE, Reps, Kings involved.

Kings #2. They won the Little Ceasars by defeating YSE in the finals, and have recently beaten the Rebels in the regular season.

YSE #3. Very strong team. Could easily be 1 or 2, but have yet to win a tournament. Lost to both Rebels and Kings in the finals.

After that, you have the Reps and Barrie rounding out the top 5. Until they win a tourney with any of the above teams, they should stay there.

Clarington is still a rumour as far as I'm concerned, they haven't shown up anywhere the top teams have been. EMC is lurking, give them credit for entering tournaments with the top teams. EMC ducking no one.

EMC won London einstein. They are ranked no worse than fourth.

Nobody was in London

EMC has yet to beat a top 5 team, they do not get ranked 4th.

Barrie beating the Rebels in the round robin carries more weight than your little tourney in London, EINSTEIN!!!

Rebels now have losses to Hamilton, Kings, and Barrie...plus ties with the Rangers, Titans and Reps.

They are no longer a "clear number 1"

Who cares! This is AAA hockey. There is a chance for any of the top 5 teams (of which Barrie is not one) to beat the other on any given day. You should be happy about that. This means the competition is great and perfect for development of your kid and his team. Sometimes I think this site would show more mature comments if the kids themselves were the only ones writing in!

It's the G parents! They are wacked! They live in the city competing over who has the nicest stuff and bring the same attitude to the rink. One day, when they're senior citizens they will figure out what the important things in life are. Of course by that time it will be too late.

I didn't think Barrie deserved to be in the top 5 either, but they seem to be able to beat everyone but YSE and Clarington, the two big "D" teams. This puts them up there. Clarington should be ranked higher, but still haven't played YSE, VK, Rebels or Reps. Silver stick will be the big show down. Too bad the G money teams won't play.

The G parents will say this tourney means nothing cause they couldn't send their best. Probably just as well cause their best would have been eaten alive in a of strong competion like this. They are used to weak local league games. They don't have experience with the big international pools.

Why all this hate for the "G", must have been a messed up childhood for all you HATERS

***The G parents will say this tourney means nothing cause they couldn't send their best. Probably just as well cause their best would have been eaten alive in a of strong competion like this. They are used to weak local league games. They don't have experience with the big international pools.***

Little Ceaser's had a much deeper and stronger field, or as you put it "international pool"...won by a G team.

Somebody should organize a top 10 tournament based on the My Hockey Rankings once a year. When will there ever be a tournament when all of the top ten get to compete at once.

Had something pretty close in Nottawasaga this year...Rebels, Kings, Hamilton, YSE, Barrie and North Bay Spring team.

Would be great to watch!

To the fool posting about OMHA teams, the 2000 went to a G team. Take that to the stats!

rebels win the shanny. back on top.

Rebels win Marlie Tourney, Kings win Little Ceasars, Rebels win Shanny, all with the so called top "O" teams in it. What tournaments have the big "O" teams won that involved the top "G" teams. Shut your mouth until you know what you are talking about.

At least the O teams will stay together next year while the G team will all change numerous players. I prefer to have my kid in the O so that he understands what it means to be on a TEAM.

7:52pm
I assume you never played anything higher than House League in any sport?
Enjoy living vicariously through your children.

Yes someone will post for you what vicariously means, don't worry.

Nice!

9:31 more like, "So he learns what it feels like to be a LOSER! hahahahahhaha hick!

Enjoy the gate fees and living in your 600,000 semi or townhome city slicker!

that's ok. we paid it off in 3 years. what do i care?

Hey 10:15 are you still upset with me because I tricked you into believing the movie, Men Staring at Goats was a porno?? I'm sorry, I really didn't think you would fall for it. Nice word though, impressive!!

Been 3 weeks since last update???????

check out 2000aaa ranks on w-l-t-scd.

This is the deal:

Rebels and YSE are the two top teams and have proven it consistently in league and tournament play

Clarington and Vaughn have each won a tourney and showed well in every other they have entered so I would put them at three or four

Barrie is next not because they can't beat these above mentioned teams because they are very good, but the Kings have beaten them and Clarington has proven themselves three times against them this year.

After that because these teams have not shown as well or have not been in the bigger tourneys so far this year... Hamilton, Oakville, EMC, REPS, London, Titans can be placed in any order depending on who they play each week

You forgot the Marlies

No chance rebels will win championship. NO chance. Maybe bronze.

I think the Rebels will be in the final and the Marlies will give them a good fight.

2:51 spot on.

MARLIES??? NOT even considered at this point

I guess we shall see. Marlies #1.SC already recruiting to make the team stronger for next year.

Vaughn and Clarington should be ranked above Barrie. Obviously a Barrie parent runs this site or at least the Ontario rankings. Losing credability.

Rankings will be updated by Friday. Looking forward to discussion then.

waiting

YOu forgot Kingston jack ass
