Midget AAA Hockey Rankings

Note: The new ">4" Column indicates the number of ignored games for each team against teams
rated more than 4 goals higher or lower than them.     As long as the actual margin of victory in 
such a game was 3 or more goals, it is ignored in determining team ratings.  

Ignoring these mismatches eliminates any effect they could have on the rankings.  This feature 
has been included for several years in the high school rankings but not in the Midget AAA Rankings 
until now.

The most noticeable effect this change had on this week's rankings is that the Eastern Mass Senators 
jump all the way to #1 after six of their games against much weaker competition are ignored .  It 
would be hard to argue against the Senators' being rated higher than they were last week (#9) as their 
only two losses of the season came against Junior teams and they did beat the #5 Little Bruins 4 - 1.

10/27 new rankings posted after a few NH Monarchs I corrections.

Note: Shattuck Prep and Team Wisconsin cannot be included in the U18 rankings at this time
as no team from their league has played a team from outside of their league. 

Note: a team's "Total" in this week's U18 ranking only has meaning relative to other teams' 
"Total" values in the same ranking (this week's U18).
