The usual criteria to make the list of games each week will again apply; that is, BOTH teams must be currently ranked - in the Top 20 if they are a Class AA team or in the Top 10 if they are Class A. Since the LPH rankings are not yet out for this Week 1 we'll use the final KRACH ranking from last season, including games involving the Top 25 teams (combined, both classes). I'm making one exception - for Achiever Academy - when on November 12 they'll get their first big test against what promises to be a very strong Hopkins team.
To start things off there are 17 qualifying games that will be played in the first week and a half or so, to November 16th (note: the complete schedules for at least 2 ranked teams - Buffalo and North Wright County - are not yet posted, so games involving these teams are not included this week).
To participate, just copy and paste the list of games into your post and add your predicted score for each. You’ll earn one point for forecasting the winner of each game, and another bonus point for any correct score. Be sure to post your predictions by each week’s deadline. The deadline for posting this week is 6PM on Thursday, November 7th - plenty of time to get them all right!

Best of luck to all of the players and coaches this year!
