Link to last year's (2002-2003) final rankings Due to time limitations on this end, it will be more important than ever before for volunteers to submit missing scores in the proper format so that the ratings can continue. Your cooperation is appreciated.2003-2004 Scores
These are the scores that the ratings are based upon. The top two thirds of the file has all scores dual entered and sorted by team, the bottom third lists all scores sorted by date. Please email only properly formatted missing scores to usmidgetaaa@yahoo.com. Follow this link for the proper format. Scores that only involve U16 teams should be sent to U16 scores coordinator at hockey@2ghz.net. As always, scores must be sent in the proper format for inclusion. It is not helpful to e-mail saying that x-x-x is not your real record as the record listed is generated from the scores listed. It is helpful to send properly formatted missing scores. Scores against non US Midget AAA competition (Jr B, Canadian teams, Tier 2, etc.) are not needed for the rankings but will be used if provided. 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. Links to other ratings: High School Men's NCAA D1 NAHL How good are these rankings? How do they compare to other rankings? See a description of past successes for this algorithm ranking amateur hockey teams here and a comparison to other midget rankings here. NOTICE: Some of the rated teams are not eligible for USA Hockey Nationals for various reasons that may include overage players or other District requirements. e.g. Minnesota teams - only SSM eligible for nationals. Northern Mass - not in Mass Select League, therefore not included in Mass District Playoffs. Boston Little Bruins - not in Mass Select League, therefore not included in Mass District Playoffs. Bruins AAA - not in Mass Select League, therefore not included in Mass District Playoffs. Four Ninety Five Stars - not strictly midget age. RI Saints - not strictly midget age. If possible, and with your cooperation (reporting scores in the required format), these rankings will be updated regularly throughout the season.U.S. Midget AAA Hockey Links
